Why PRP works

How PRP promotes self-healing

PRP is a concentration of your own platelets, growth factors, and cytokines isolated from a small blood draw and processed in a centrifuge — containing 5 to 10 times the normal concentration of healing agents found in whole blood.

  • Uses your own blood — no risk of allergic reaction
  • Ultrasound-guided for precise, targeted delivery
  • Growth factors trigger the body's own repair process
  • Results build over 3 to 6 months, not just days

Our approach: when injected into damaged tissue, these growth factors signal the body to accelerate repair, reduce inflammation, and regenerate healthy cells.

Applications

What can PRP treat?

PRP therapy at Hudson Medical is used across a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve conditions — every application performed under ultrasound guidance.

What sets PRP apart

Compared to cortisone or surgery, PRP offers a distinct set of advantages for the right patient.

Efficient recovery
No general anesthesia, no hospital stay, no lengthy rehabilitation. Most patients return to normal activities the same day as their injection.
Minimal side effects
Because PRP uses your own blood products, the side effect profile is low — no systemic drug burden, no steroid-related side effects.
Low risk of allergic reaction
No foreign proteins, preservatives, or animal-derived components — a strong option for patients sensitive to medications.
Long-lasting results
Unlike cortisone, which reduces inflammation temporarily, PRP supports actual structural healing — with effects often lasting 12 months or longer.

PRP uses your own blood's growth factors to encourage tissue repair, so results build gradually rather than immediately. It's best suited for mild-to-moderate tendon and joint injuries, not full tears. Your physician will assess your imaging to determine candidacy at your first visit. All procedures at 281 Broadway, Tribeca.

What to expect

Clinical process

PRP is an efficient outpatient procedure — typically completed in under an hour from blood draw to injection.

Blood draw

15 to 30 ml drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. No anesthesia required.

Centrifuge processing

The sample is spun at high speed to isolate platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and other components.

PRP activation

The concentrated PRP is activated, releasing growth factors — 5 to 10 times the normal platelet concentration.

Ultrasound-guided injection

PRP is injected precisely into the affected tissue. You leave and return to normal activities the same day.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Questions we hear most from patients considering PRP therapy in New York City.

Not sure if PRP is right for you?

We review your imaging and history before recommending anything — including whether cortisone should come first.

How does PRP therapy work?
PRP uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to support tissue repair at a cellular level. A small blood draw is processed in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma — then injected under ultrasound guidance into the damaged tissue.
Is PRP better than cortisone?
It depends on your goals. Cortisone provides faster relief within 3 to 5 days. PRP takes longer (4 to 8 weeks) but supports actual tissue repair and produces more durable results. Many patients benefit from a strategic combination of both.
How long does PRP take to work?
Most patients notice improvement 4 to 8 weeks after their first injection, with continued improvement over 3 to 6 months. A second injection 4 to 6 weeks after the first is often recommended.
Is PRP therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Many major plans do not currently cover PRP for musculoskeletal conditions, though this is changing. Hudson Medical verifies your specific coverage before your appointment.
Is PRP painful?
The blood draw is identical to a routine blood test. The injection causes mild discomfort, and some patients experience temporary soreness in the days following — a normal part of the healing response.
Where can I get PRP therapy in NYC?
Hudson Medical offers ultrasound-guided PRP therapy at 281 Broadway, New York, NY 10007 in Lower Manhattan — accessible from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and surrounding areas.
