Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses injections of concentrated platelets from a patient’s own blood to accelerate the healing of injured tissues. Science is catching up to what traditional healers have known for centuries—that the body is adept at healing itself. We’ve seen promising results using platelet-rich plasma therapy with our patients. We offer PRP therapy for patients throughout Maryland and Virginia.
To extract platelet-rich plasma, we collect a few vials of a patient’s blood and run it through a centrifuge to concentrate blood platelets. We collect only the highest concentration of PRP. When the PRP is then injected into injured or degenerated tissue, the platelets release growth factors and immune cells that stimulate rapid repair of injured cells. The whole process, from the time your blood is drawn until the doctor administers the injection, typically takes about an hour.
• Injured tendons
• Ligaments
• Muscles and joints
• Tendinitis
• Arthritis pain
Plasma is the clear/yellow portion of your blood. Platelets are types of blood cells that help blood to clot and play an important role in healing. But now we’ve discovered their greater role in growth and immune function.
Most people can continue their daily activities immediately after a PRP injection. In cases where PRP is injected after an injury, it’s best to rest the affected area. You may start to notice improvements in as little as a few days after receiving the injection, but it may take as long as several weeks.
• Soreness at the injection site.
• Minimal pain and stiffness around the treatment area.
• Under safe conditions and good practice we have never had a bad outcome.

“I came to Dr. Habib in a wheelchair because of a knee injury that has been with me for a few years. He gave me an injection in my knee and the next day I was feeling much better. After a week I was able to walk around. It’s amazing how fast the treatment worked and how Dr. Habib knew how to take care of the injury. I’m really thankful.”

“Coming to Next Health has kind of opened my mind to the fact that healing is not so much on the outside, it’s more so from the inside out.”
