Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a small sample of your own blood, concentrated so that it contains many more platelets than normal, and injected into an injured or painful area. Platelets carry growth factors that are involved in the body’s healing process, and PRP is most often used for tendon problems, ligament sprains, and joint pain from mild to moderate osteoarthritis. It is a non-surgical, office-based procedure; most people are back to normal activity within a few days, and any benefit usually builds over several weeks. Results vary from person to person, and PRP is not a cure for advanced joint damage.

What to ask a PRP provider in San Diego
- Who performs the injection, and how many have they done? Ask whether it is a physician, and whether they use ultrasound or fluoroscopy to guide placement.
- How is the PRP prepared? Systems differ in platelet concentration and whether white blood cells are included; ask what they use and why for your condition.
- What is the total cost, and how many injections are planned? PRP is rarely covered by insurance. Get the full price in writing, including any imaging or follow-up visits.
- What outcome is realistic for my diagnosis? A careful provider will tell you when PRP is unlikely to help and what the alternatives are.
How Regen Provider Guide lists providers
Every practice in this directory is reviewed by our editors before it appears. Paid listings can earn a Featured badge and higher placement, but no practice can pay to be described as better than another, and we do not rank providers by quality.
