Important things to remember after your platelet rich plasma injection: Heat can help reduce pain and facilitate platelet signaling. Apply heat to the injection site after the procedure. Continue to do so for the first week. Avoid ice. Injection site pain can be treated with Acetaminophen or prescription pain medications. Avoid strenuous or repetitive physical activity for one week. Avoid all NSAID type medications for at least 2 weeks post injection, the longer the better. T

Platelet rich plasma utilizes your body’s own platelets to initiate a cascade of tissue healing and pain relief.
