Arthritis and chronic joint pain affect more than 54 million adults in the United States, limiting mobility and quality of life. Traditional treatments such as cortisone injections, pain relievers, and surgery often provide only temporary relief, failing to address the underlying joint degeneration. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a non-surgical, regenerative alternative by using your body’s own healing properties to reduce inflammation, stimulate cartilage repair, and restore joint function.
At OrthoGen Health, we specialize in PRP therapy for arthritis and joint pain, helping patients regain mobility and long-term comfort without invasive procedures.
“Someone referred me to this place because i had a very bad knee pain which multiple other doctors i visited, told me have to have an open surgery but Dr.James told me can do PRP which is much easier and safer. I thought it worth trying it. After almost 2 years, i still have no pain and i got back to normal life. I am so glad listen to Dr, James and for your info i think he has one of the highest certificates that only a few doctors in the US have it.
He is so kind and acknowledgeable and i definitely recommend anyone who has joint pain before letting others to have any open surgeries which obviously they want nothing but making money.Thanks you for making the life enjoyable for me again.”
How PRP Therapy Supports Joint Healing
PRP therapy targets damaged cartilage and inflamed joints, promoting natural tissue repair and long-lasting relief. The process involves:
- Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is collected.
- Platelet Separation: Using a high-speed centrifuge, platelets rich in growth factors are isolated.
- PRP Injection: The concentrated platelets are injected directly into the affected joint, stimulating tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation.

Benefits of PRP Therapy for Arthritis & Joint Pain
PRP therapy is an effective alternative to surgery or prolonged medication use, offering benefits such as:
Pain Reduction
PRP injections help reduce chronic joint pain by decreasing inflammation and enhancing tissue repair.
Cartilage Regeneration
Growth factors in PRP promote new cartilage formation, slowing arthritis progression.
Improved Mobility
PRP enhances joint lubrication, allowing for smoother movement and better function.
Minimally Invasive & Safe
PRP therapy is derived from your own blood, making it a low-risk, natural solution.
