Dr. Garg has answered the 53 most common questions patients ask about PRP therapy. Topics include how PRP works, which conditions respond best, how it compares to cortisone and surgery, what it costs, and what recovery looks like.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is a regenerative injection that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation in injured joints, tendons, and ligaments.
Your blood is drawn and processed through a multi-spin centrifuge system that isolates platelets and growth factors at high concentrations. When injected into the damaged area, these platelets release signaling proteins that kick-start your body’s own repair process at the cellular level.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol uses a multi-spin preparation enhanced with fibrin-rich plasma (FRP) to achieve greater than ten billion platelets per injection, delivered under real-time ultrasound guidance for exact placement.
Dr. Garg trained in this protocol at Yale and Andrews Sports Medicine before bringing it to Boulder, and the Dynamic PRP+ preparation standard is the same one he teaches to other physicians through the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI).
Patient Experience: One patient described PRP and shockwave as life-changing after ten difficult years of chronic ankle and knee conditions that are finally healing up completely.
PRP therapy uses your own blood, so it does not require FDA approval in the same way a pharmaceutical drug does. The FDA regulates the devices used to prepare PRP, not the procedure itself.
Because PRP is autologous, meaning it comes entirely from your own body, it falls under the practice of medicine rather than drug regulation. The centrifuge systems and preparation kits used to process your blood are FDA-cleared medical devices.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol uses FDA-cleared processing systems combined with ultrasound-guided delivery to ensure precision and safety at every step.
We have used PRP safely and effectively for years, backed by over two decades of published orthopedic and sports medicine research.

Patient Experience: Most patients appreciate knowing their PRP injection uses only their own biology with no synthetic additives.
PRP injections treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including knee arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, hip pain, meniscus tears, ligament sprains, and SI joint instability.
PRP works by delivering concentrated growth factors directly into damaged tissue, which reduces chronic inflammation, stimulates collagen synthesis, and supports the repair of cartilage, tendon, and ligament structures at the cellular level.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol delivers greater than ten billion platelets with leukocyte composition selected for your specific tissue type, because tendons, ligaments, and joints each respond to different platelet formulations.
PRP is effective across a broad spectrum of joint and soft tissue injuries.
Patient Experience: Most patients are surprised by how many conditions respond well to a properly administered PRP therapy protocol.
Cortisone reduces inflammation temporarily but does not repair tissue and can weaken cartilage and tendons with repeated use. PRP actively promotes tissue repair by delivering concentrated growth factors that stimulate healing.
Cortisone blocks the inflammatory cascade, which provides short-term relief but leaves the underlying damage untreated. Over time, repeated cortisone injections can actually accelerate joint degeneration. PRP addresses the root cause by supporting your body’s repair mechanisms.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection uses ultrasound guidance and a high-dose preparation to deliver growth factors directly to the damaged structure, not just the general area.
Many patients find that PRP provides longer-lasting results than cortisone ever did.
Patient Experience: One patient who struggled to recover after ACL surgery and explored several clinics chose Dynamic Athlete for PRP and shockwave. His knee now feels remarkably close to normal.
PRP therapy has strong clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness for many musculoskeletal conditions, particularly knee osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and ligament damage. It is not experimental or unproven.
Multiple meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials show that PRP outperforms both placebo and hyaluronic acid injections for knee arthritis. For tendon injuries like tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis, PRP has demonstrated superior long-term outcomes compared to cortisone. The evidence base continues to grow as more high-quality studies are published.
Not all PRP is the same, though. The Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol uses high-dose, multi-spin preparation with ultrasound guidance, which directly affects outcomes.
Over 90% of our patients self-report a 75% or greater improvement following treatment.
Patient Experience: Most patients who were initially skeptical about PRP therapy report being glad they tried it.
The concentration of platelets, the presence or absence of certain white blood cells, and the addition of fibrin-rich plasma all directly impact how well PRP works. Not all PRP preparations are equal.
A basic single-spin PRP kit may yield only two to three times the baseline platelet count. That is often not enough to drive meaningful tissue repair, especially in larger joints or chronic conditions. Higher platelet concentrations deliver more growth factors, which means a stronger healing response.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol uses a multi-spin system that achieves greater than ten billion platelets, enhanced with FRP, and selects leukocyte composition based on your specific pathology.
Preparation quality is one of the biggest variables in PRP outcomes.
Dr. Garg trained in this protocol at Yale and Andrews Sports Medicine before bringing it to Boulder, and the Dynamic PRP+ preparation standard is the same one he teaches to other physicians through the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI).
Patient Experience: Most patients see a direct connection between the quality of their PRP therapy and the results they experience.
Ultrasound-guided PRP injection means your provider uses real-time imaging to watch the needle enter the exact tissue that needs treatment. This ensures the PRP reaches the damaged structure rather than being deposited nearby.
Without ultrasound guidance, injections are performed blind, relying on anatomical landmarks and feel. Studies show that blind injections miss the target up to 30 to 40 percent of the time depending on the joint. When PRP is placed inaccurately, the growth factors never reach the damaged tissue, and the treatment underperforms.
Every Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection at Dynamic Athlete is performed under real-time ultrasound guidance, so the biologic is delivered precisely where it needs to go. Accuracy matters as much as the quality of the PRP itself.
Dr. Garg trained in this protocol at Yale and Andrews Sports Medicine before bringing it to Boulder, and the Dynamic PRP+ preparation standard is the same one he teaches to other physicians through the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI).
Patient Experience: Most patients feel more confident knowing their PRP therapy is image-guided for exact placement.
Fibrin-rich plasma is a concentrated fibrin matrix that acts as a biological scaffold, holding the PRP in place at the injection site and extending the release of growth factors over a longer period of time.
Standard PRP injections deliver platelets in a liquid form that can disperse quickly from the treatment site. FRP creates a gel-like matrix that keeps the growth factors concentrated exactly where they are needed, so the healing effect lasts days instead of hours.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol incorporates FRP enhancement as a standard part of the preparation process, not as an add-on.
FRP is one of the key reasons our PRP protocol produces consistent results.
Dr. Garg trained in this protocol at Yale and Andrews Sports Medicine before bringing it to Boulder, and the Dynamic PRP+ preparation standard is the same one he teaches to other physicians through the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI).
Patient Experience: Most patients treated with FRP-enhanced PRP therapy notice that their improvement builds steadily over the weeks following injection.
Leukocyte-rich PRP contains white blood cells along with platelets, while leukocyte-poor PRP filters out most white blood cells. The right choice depends on the specific tissue being treated.
White blood cells release additional inflammatory mediators that can be beneficial for certain conditions, like chronic tendon injuries where the healing process has stalled. However, for intra-articular joint injections, leukocyte-poor PRP may be preferable because the joint environment is more sensitive to inflammatory signals.
At Dynamic Athlete, the Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol selects leukocyte-rich or leukocyte-poor preparation based on whether we are treating a tendon, ligament, or joint, so the biology matches the pathology. This is a clinical decision most patients never hear about, but it matters.
Dr. Garg trained in this protocol at Yale and Andrews Sports Medicine before bringing it to Boulder, and the Dynamic PRP+ preparation standard is the same one he teaches to other physicians through the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI).
Patient Experience: Most patients benefit from a PRP therapy approach that is tailored to their specific injury type.
Yes. Combining PRP with shockwave therapy can enhance outcomes because shockwave primes the tissue before the PRP injection, increasing blood flow and responsiveness at the treatment site.
Focused shockwave therapy stimulates neovascularization (new blood vessel formation), breaks down calcifications, and activates stem cells within the tissue. When PRP is injected into tissue that has been primed with shockwave, the growth factors have a more receptive environment and can work more effectively.
At Dynamic Athlete, we routinely combine our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection with Dynamic Shockwave+ as part of a comprehensive treatment protocol when the clinical situation calls for it.
Priming tissue before a biologic injection is one of the advantages of having all modalities under one roof.
Patient Experience: Most patients treated with combined shockwave and PRP therapy report faster and more noticeable improvement.
PRP can reduce pain and improve function in mild to moderate knee arthritis when injected precisely into the affected joint.
It works by concentrating platelets that release growth factors, which help reduce inflammation and support tissue repair within the joint environment. Multiple clinical trials and meta-analyses have shown PRP outperforms both placebo and hyaluronic acid for knee osteoarthritis at six and twelve month follow-ups.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for knee arthritis uses a leukocyte-poor, FRP-enhanced formulation with greater than ten billion platelets delivered under ultrasound guidance into the joint space.
Many patients notice improved mobility within the first few weeks.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
For patients whose chronic knee pain has begun to sensitize the nervous system, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) can pair with PRP to dampen the pain signal while the joint remodels.
Patient Experience: One patient with meniscus and other knee issues from skiing had PRP, shockwave, and EMTT that greatly improved his knee without invasive surgery.
PRP can still provide meaningful pain relief and improved function even in advanced knee arthritis, though expectations should be realistic about what regeneration is possible at that stage.
In bone-on-bone conditions, the cartilage is severely degraded, and PRP will not rebuild cartilage that is completely gone. However, PRP can reduce the chronic inflammatory environment inside the joint, improve the quality of remaining cartilage, and support the synovial fluid that cushions the joint. Many patients with advanced arthritis experience enough improvement to delay or avoid knee replacement.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol for advanced arthritis uses high-dose preparation and precise ultrasound-guided placement to maximize what the biologic can achieve.
Even in advanced cases, meaningful relief is possible.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
For the most advanced cases, our Dynamic Stem Cell+ protocol using bone marrow aspirate (BMA) or MFAT may do more than PRP alone; Dynamic Mind+ can also be layered in when chronic pain has centralized.
Patient Experience: Most patients with severe knee arthritis who try PRP therapy are glad they explored it before committing to surgery.
PRP is effective for many partial rotator cuff tears and can help patients avoid surgery by promoting tendon healing and reducing pain.
PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly into the torn fibers, stimulating collagen production and tissue repair. For partial tears, this biological stimulus can be enough to restore function and eliminate pain without surgical intervention.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for rotator cuff tears uses leukocyte-rich preparation because tendon tissue responds well to the additional inflammatory mediators, and ultrasound guidance ensures the PRP reaches the tear itself.
Many patients return to full shoulder function without surgery.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
Patient Experience: One patient with a 6mm full-thickness supraspinatus tear received shockwave, PRP, and MFAT over two months. Within four months he was back playing hockey. At a year and a half out, he plays ice hockey three times a week at age 65.
PRP is one of the most effective treatments for chronic tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) that has not responded to physical therapy, rest, or cortisone.
Chronic tennis elbow is typically a degenerative tendon condition rather than an inflammatory one, which is why anti-inflammatory treatments often fail. PRP addresses the underlying tendon degeneration by delivering growth factors that stimulate new collagen formation and tendon remodeling at the cellular level.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for tennis elbow uses a leukocyte-rich formulation with ultrasound-guided delivery directly into the common extensor tendon origin, combined with shockwave therapy to prime the tissue beforehand.
Most patients see significant improvement within six to twelve weeks.
Dr. Garg’s Andrews Sports Medicine fellowship training and Team Physician experience across hockey, soccer, and sports medicine clinic populations means tendon biologic protocols have been refined across thousands of cases.
In patients whose elbow has been painful long enough for the nervous system to amplify the signal, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) pairs with PRP and shockwave to reset the pain response.
Patient Experience: Many patients with chronic tennis elbow that failed other treatments respond well to PRP therapy.
PRP is highly effective for chronic plantar fasciitis, particularly when conservative treatments like stretching, orthotics, and cortisone have not provided lasting relief.
Plantar fasciitis that persists beyond six months is usually a degenerative condition (plantar fasciosis) rather than pure inflammation. PRP addresses this by delivering growth factors that promote tissue remodeling and new collagen formation within the damaged fascia, targeting the root cause rather than masking symptoms.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for plantar fasciitis is performed under ultrasound guidance to precisely target the thickened or torn region of the fascia, often combined with focused shockwave therapy.
Most patients experience significant pain reduction within weeks.
Dr. Garg’s Andrews Sports Medicine fellowship training and Team Physician experience across hockey, soccer, and sports medicine clinic populations means tendon biologic protocols have been refined across thousands of cases.
For chronic sufferers whose heel has been painful for years, Dynamic Mind+ (EXOMIND) can be added to the Dynamic PRP+ and Dynamic Shockwave+ protocol to dampen the centralized pain pattern.
Patient Experience: Many patients with chronic plantar fasciitis return to running and hiking after PRP therapy treatment.
PRP can help certain types of meniscus tears heal without surgery, particularly degenerative tears and small peripheral tears that have some blood supply.
PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the tear site, which can enhance the healing response in areas where the body’s natural repair mechanisms are weak. For degenerative meniscus tears associated with early arthritis, PRP also addresses the inflammatory joint environment that contributes to ongoing symptoms.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for meniscus tears uses ultrasound guidance to place the biologic precisely at the tear location, not just into the general joint space.
Many patients avoid arthroscopic surgery with this approach.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
Patient Experience: One patient with meniscus issues from skiing avoided invasive surgery and the lengthy recovery that comes with it through shockwave and PRP at Dynamic Athlete.
PRP is effective for Achilles tendinitis and tendinopathy, which are common in runners, especially those training at altitude on Colorado’s Front Range trails.
Achilles tendon problems in runners typically involve microtearing and collagen disorganization rather than acute inflammation. PRP stimulates the production of organized type I collagen and promotes tendon remodeling, addressing the structural breakdown that causes pain and weakness.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for Achilles tendon conditions uses leukocyte-rich preparation and ultrasound-guided injection directly into the affected region of the tendon, often combined with shockwave therapy to enhance the repair response.
Most runners return to training within a structured rehabilitation timeline.
Dr. Garg’s Andrews Sports Medicine fellowship training and Team Physician experience across hockey, soccer, and sports medicine clinic populations means tendon biologic protocols have been refined across thousands of cases.
For runners whose Achilles has been chronically painful for more than six months, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) may be layered with Dynamic PRP+ and focused shockwave to address the central pain component.
Patient Experience: Many runners with chronic Achilles tendinitis get back on the trails after PRP therapy treatment.
PRP can reduce pain and improve function in both hip arthritis and hip labral tears, often allowing patients to maintain activity and delay or avoid hip replacement.
Hip arthritis responds to PRP the same way knee arthritis does: reducing inflammatory enzymes and supporting remaining cartilage. Labral tears benefit from growth factors delivered directly to the damaged fibrocartilage.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for hip conditions is always performed under ultrasound guidance because the hip joint is deep and blind injections frequently miss the capsule entirely.
For patients with pelvic floor involvement contributing to hip instability, our Dynamic Core+ EMSELLA protocol can support recovery alongside PRP. Many patients regain the ability to walk, hike, and cycle without hip pain.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
For surrounding tissue pathology, our Dynamic Shockwave+ protocol can prime the hip capsule before the biologic injection; Dynamic Mind+ (EXOMIND) can support patients with long-standing chronic hip pain.
Patient Experience: Most patients with hip arthritis or labral tears experience improved mobility after PRP therapy.
PRP can be effective for runner’s knee when the condition involves cartilage softening or patellar tendon irritation that has not responded to physical therapy and activity modification.
Patellofemoral syndrome involves irritation of the cartilage on the underside of the kneecap or inflammation of the surrounding soft tissues. PRP delivers growth factors that reduce the inflammatory environment, support cartilage integrity, and promote healing in irritated tendons and ligaments around the patella.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for runner’s knee is placed under ultrasound guidance to target the specific structure contributing to the pain, whether that is the patellar tendon, the retinaculum, or the joint itself.
Most patients return to running with a structured rehabilitation plan.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
For patients whose patellofemoral pain has persisted long enough to sensitize the nervous system, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) pairs with Dynamic PRP+ to dampen the central pain response.
Patient Experience: Many Boulder-area runners with patellofemoral pain return to full training after PRP therapy.
PRP can strengthen damaged ankle ligaments and reduce the recurrence of sprains by promoting collagen repair and improving the structural integrity of the ligament tissue.
Chronic ankle instability usually results from ligaments that never fully healed after an initial sprain. The weakened fibers continue to stretch under load, leading to repeated giving way and reinjury. PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly into the damaged ligament, stimulating the production of stronger, more organized collagen fibers.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for ankle instability uses ultrasound guidance to target the specific ligaments involved, typically the anterior talofibular ligament, and is combined with a structured rehabilitation protocol.
Many patients regain ankle stability without surgical reconstruction.
Patient Experience: One patient with a pernicious case of tendinitis described the treatment as the catalyst that got him moving again.
PRP can slow cartilage deterioration and improve joint function in patients with cartilage damage from years of high-impact or repetitive activity like skiing and cycling.
Cartilage does not regenerate on its own because it lacks direct blood supply. PRP delivers growth factors into the joint that reduce the catabolic enzymes breaking down cartilage, support the chondrocytes (cartilage cells) that remain, and improve the quality of synovial fluid that nourishes and cushions the joint.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for cartilage damage uses high-dose preparation and ultrasound-guided placement to maximize the biologic effect inside the joint.
Many patients maintain their active Colorado lifestyle longer than expected.
For more advanced cartilage loss, our Dynamic Stem Cell+ protocol (BMA or MFAT) may be the better fit; Dynamic Mind+ (EXOMIND) can be layered when chronic pain has centralized.
Patient Experience: Most patients with cartilage wear from sports notice improved joint comfort after PRP therapy.
PRP can be effective for IT band syndrome that has not responded to stretching, foam rolling, physical therapy, or cortisone, particularly when there is underlying tendon or bursal pathology.
IT band syndrome often involves irritation where the band crosses the lateral knee or inflammation of the underlying bursa. In chronic cases, the tissue becomes degenerative rather than purely inflamed, which is why anti-inflammatory approaches stop working. PRP stimulates tissue repair and remodeling at the cellular level.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for IT band syndrome uses ultrasound to identify the exact location of pathology, whether it is the bursa, the tendon insertion, or both, and delivers the biologic precisely.
Many patients return to running and cycling pain-free.
Dr. Garg’s Andrews Sports Medicine fellowship training and Team Physician experience across hockey, soccer, and sports medicine clinic populations means tendon biologic protocols have been refined across thousands of cases.
For chronic IT band pain that has not responded to foam rolling or cortisone, Dynamic Shockwave+ can prime the tissue before the PRP injection for a stronger repair signal.
Patient Experience: Most patients with chronic IT band problems respond well to targeted PRP therapy.
PRP injections can effectively treat SI (sacroiliac) joint pain by strengthening the damaged ligaments that stabilize the joint, which is often the overlooked source of chronic low back pain.
The SI joint is one of the most underdiagnosed causes of low back pain. PRP delivers growth factors directly into the SI ligaments, promoting collagen repair and improving joint stability.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for SI joint instability is performed under ultrasound guidance to target the posterior SI ligaments with precision.
Many patients who failed other low back treatments find relief through this approach.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
Patient Experience: One patient told she needed a full knee replacement came to Dynamic Athlete, where Dr. Garg identified the actual source at her SI joint and treated with stem cell and PRP. She is now pain-free, climbing, and ready for ski season.
If your low back pain has not improved after epidural or facet injections, the pain may be coming from your SI (sacroiliac) joint, not your spine.
The SI joint is one of the most commonly missed pain generators in the low back. Epidurals and facet blocks target the spine, not the damaged SI ligaments, which is why they fail when the SI joint is the actual source.
At Dynamic Athlete, we evaluate the SI joint as part of every low back pain workup. When SI instability is identified, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection targets the posterior SI ligaments under ultrasound guidance.
Identifying the right pain generator changes everything.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer and has delivered this specific protocol in the same joint population for over a decade, and the clinical evidence base for PRP in this indication is anchored in multiple meta-analyses and randomized trials.
For patients whose low back pain has persisted long enough to alter how the nervous system processes pain, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) can dampen the centralized signal alongside the Dynamic PRP+ injection into the SI ligaments.
Patient Experience: Many patients with chronic low back pain that failed epidurals improve significantly once their SI joint is properly treated with PRP therapy.
PRP can accelerate healing in ligament tears and sprains by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the damaged tissue, promoting stronger, more organized collagen repair.
Ligaments heal slowly because of limited blood supply. When a ligament is partially torn or chronically sprained, the repaired tissue is often weaker and less organized than the original structure, which increases the risk of reinjury. PRP enhances the healing environment by concentrating the growth factors and signaling proteins that drive collagen synthesis.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for ligament injuries uses leukocyte-rich preparation with ultrasound guidance to target the damaged fibers directly, often combined with focused shockwave to prime the tissue before injection.
Most patients experience improved stability and reduced pain.
Dr. Garg’s Andrews Sports Medicine fellowship training and Team Physician experience across hockey, soccer, and sports medicine clinic populations means tendon biologic protocols have been refined across thousands of cases.
For chronic ligament pain, Dynamic Shockwave+ may be layered to prime the tissue before the biologic injection, and Dynamic Mind+ (EXOMIND) can support patients whose pain has centralized.
Patient Experience: Many patients with ligament injuries return to full activity after PRP therapy without surgical reconstruction.
The cost of a PRP injection varies based on the complexity of the condition, the joint or tissue being treated, and the preparation protocol used. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation.
PRP cost varies widely across providers because the preparation quality varies widely. A high-dose, multi-spin protocol with FRP enhancement requires more sophisticated equipment and clinical expertise, which is reflected in the investment.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection uses the highest-quality preparation available, with personalized pricing discussed during your evaluation.
The value of PRP is best measured against the cost of surgery, prolonged time off, and lost quality of life.
Dynamic PRP+ is performed exclusively by Dr. Garg — a double board-certified Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine physician — not by technicians, nurses, or staff providers, which is why the investment reflects physician-level expertise end-to-end.
Patient Experience: One patient noted that Dynamic Athlete presented options without pressure to commit and tried their best to accommodate his budget. The follow-up had no undue pressure for repeat treatments.
Most insurance plans do not cover PRP injections because PRP is classified as investigational by many insurance carriers, despite strong clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness.
This classification has more to do with insurance reimbursement policies than with the science behind PRP. Major medical institutions and peer-reviewed research support PRP for conditions like knee arthritis, tendon injuries, and ligament damage.
We accept HSA and FSA payments and offer clear pricing during your consultation. Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol delivers a medical-grade biologic that produces real, measurable results.
The question is not whether PRP is legitimate. It is whether your insurance has caught up to the science.
Dynamic PRP+ is performed exclusively by Dr. Garg — a double board-certified Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine physician — not by technicians, nurses, or staff providers, which is why the investment reflects physician-level expertise end-to-end.
Patient Experience: Most patients who pay out of pocket for PRP therapy view it as one of the best health investments they have made.
PRP addresses structural tissue damage that physical therapy alone cannot repair. When PT has plateaued, PRP can restart the healing process and allow you to make progress in rehab again.
Physical therapy strengthens the muscles and movement patterns around an injury, which is essential. But PT cannot regenerate damaged cartilage, repair torn tendon fibers, or strengthen weakened ligaments at the cellular level. PRP provides the biological stimulus that damaged tissue needs to actually heal, and PT then supports that healing process.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection is often combined with a structured rehabilitation plan so patients get the full benefit of both approaches.
Many patients who had stalled in PT see breakthroughs after PRP.
Dynamic PRP+ is performed exclusively by Dr. Garg — a double board-certified Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine physician — not by technicians, nurses, or staff providers, which is why the investment reflects physician-level expertise end-to-end.
Patient Experience: Most patients find that PRP therapy combined with rehabilitation produces results that neither approach achieved alone.
Yes. PRP therapy is a qualified medical expense under most HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) plans, which allows you to use pre-tax dollars for treatment.
Because PRP is performed by a licensed physician for a diagnosed medical condition, it meets the IRS criteria for qualified medical expenses in most cases. This can represent meaningful savings, especially for patients using high-deductible health plans who are unlikely to meet their deductible through insurance-covered treatments alone.
At Dynamic Athlete, we process HSA and FSA payments for our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol and can provide the documentation you need for your account.
Using pre-tax dollars makes the investment in PRP more accessible.
Dynamic PRP+ is performed exclusively by Dr. Garg — a double board-certified Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine physician — not by technicians, nurses, or staff providers, which is why the investment reflects physician-level expertise end-to-end.
Patient Experience: Many patients use HSA or FSA funds to cover their PRP therapy and appreciate the tax advantage.
PRP may start with your blood, but the preparation process, clinical expertise, and imaging technology required to do it well are what drive the cost.
Drawing blood is simple. Turning that blood into a high-concentration biologic with over ten billion platelets, selecting the right leukocyte profile for your specific condition, enhancing it with fibrin-rich plasma, and then placing it under real-time ultrasound guidance into the exact damaged structure requires advanced equipment, training, and clinical decision-making.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol represents a significant investment in preparation quality, imaging precision, and physician expertise that directly impacts your outcome.
The difference between good PRP and poor PRP is the difference between results and disappointment.
Dynamic PRP+ is performed exclusively by Dr. Garg — a double board-certified Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine physician — not by technicians, nurses, or staff providers, which is why the investment reflects physician-level expertise end-to-end.
Patient Experience: Most patients understand the value once they see how much clinical precision goes into each PRP therapy treatment.
For many patients, PRP is significantly less expensive than surgery when you factor in surgical fees, anesthesia, rehabilitation, time off work, and total recovery time.
A knee replacement can cost tens of thousands even with insurance, and recovery often means months away from work and activity. PRP involves no general anesthesia, no hospital stay, no surgical risk, and a fraction of the downtime.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol at Dynamic Athlete is designed to help patients avoid or delay surgery, which saves not just money but time and quality of life.
Time is the one thing you cannot get back.
Dynamic PRP+ is performed exclusively by Dr. Garg — a double board-certified Sports Medicine and Internal Medicine physician — not by technicians, nurses, or staff providers, which is why the investment reflects physician-level expertise end-to-end.
Patient Experience: One former collegiate athlete who now skis and mountain bikes as her full-time job said she is lightyears ahead of where she was and wishes she had found Dynamic Athlete before her surgeries.
Most patients begin noticing improvement within two to six weeks after a PRP injection, with continued gains over three to six months as the tissue repair process progresses.
PRP is not a cortisone shot. It initiates a biological repair cascade that takes time to produce structural changes. The initial weeks involve growth factors recruiting repair cells, followed by months of collagen remodeling and tissue strengthening.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol maximizes the healing signal from day one, and for patients with chronic pain or elevated stress, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) can help optimize the nervous system for faster recovery.
Patience in the early weeks pays off in lasting results.
Dr. Garg monitors outcomes across the full patient panel at Dynamic Athlete, and the Dynamic PRP+ timeline you hear from him is built on the response pattern observed across the full Dynamic Athlete patient panel, not a generic industry average.
Patient Experience: Most patients report that PRP therapy results build steadily and continue improving for months after treatment.
The effects of PRP can last one to two years or longer depending on the condition treated, the severity of the damage, and how the patient manages their activity and rehabilitation afterward.
Unlike cortisone, which wears off in weeks to months, PRP produces structural tissue repair. Once cartilage quality improves, tendon fibers reorganize, or ligament strength increases, those changes are durable. Some patients require periodic maintenance treatments, particularly for progressive conditions like osteoarthritis.
At Dynamic Athlete, we monitor your progress and adjust your Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol based on clinical and imaging outcomes, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
The goal is lasting improvement, not temporary relief.
Dr. Garg monitors outcomes across the full patient panel at Dynamic Athlete, and the Dynamic PRP+ timeline you hear from him is built on the response pattern observed across the full Dynamic Athlete patient panel, not a generic industry average.
For patients whose chronic pain has outlived the structural injury, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) can extend the perceived relief by resetting the central pain response.
Patient Experience: Many patients enjoy a year or more of sustained benefit after their PRP therapy protocol.
Most patients require one to three PRP injections depending on the condition, severity, and how their tissue responds to the initial treatment.
Mild to moderate tendon conditions like tennis elbow or plantar fasciitis may respond well to a single injection. More complex conditions like knee arthritis or chronic ligament instability may benefit from a series of two or three injections spaced several weeks apart to build a cumulative repair response.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol at Dynamic Athlete is individualized. We evaluate your response to the first treatment before recommending additional injections, rather than prescribing a fixed package regardless of how you are progressing.
Your treatment plan should respond to your results, not a sales template.
Dr. Garg monitors outcomes across the full patient panel at Dynamic Athlete, and the Dynamic PRP+ timeline you hear from him is built on the response pattern observed across the full Dynamic Athlete patient panel, not a generic industry average.
In cases where the tissue needs more cellular repair than platelets can deliver, the Dynamic Stem Cell+ protocol (BMA or MFAT) is the logical next step and can be planned in sequence.
Patient Experience: Most patients appreciate a PRP therapy approach based on clinical response rather than a predetermined number of sessions.
Recovery from a PRP injection is minimal. Most patients return to normal daily activities within a day or two, with a gradual return to exercise over the following weeks.
You may experience mild soreness or stiffness at the injection site for a few days. That is your body’s healing process activating, not a complication.
After your Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection at Dynamic Athlete, you receive activity guidelines and medication protocols specific to your tissue. For patients with chronic pain patterns, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) can shift the nervous system into a healing state alongside PRP.
Most patients do not need any time off work.
Dr. Garg monitors outcomes across the full patient panel at Dynamic Athlete, and the Dynamic PRP+ timeline you hear from him is built on the response pattern observed across the full Dynamic Athlete patient panel, not a generic industry average.
Patient Experience: Many patients are back to light activity within days and full activity within weeks after PRP therapy.
Most patients describe PRP injections as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable, similar to any joint or soft tissue injection. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes total.
The blood draw is straightforward. The injection itself may cause brief pressure or discomfort at the treatment site, which is normal. Some patients experience mild soreness for a day or two afterward as the growth factors activate the local healing response.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection is performed under ultrasound guidance, which allows for precise needle placement with minimal tissue disruption. We also use local anesthetic when appropriate to improve comfort.
The discomfort is brief and manageable for the vast majority of patients.
Dr. Garg monitors outcomes across the full patient panel at Dynamic Athlete, and the Dynamic PRP+ timeline you hear from him is built on the response pattern observed across the full Dynamic Athlete patient panel, not a generic industry average.
Patient Experience: Most patients say their PRP therapy injection was far less uncomfortable than they expected.
PRP injections have very few side effects because the treatment uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The most common side effects are temporary soreness and mild swelling at the injection site.
Because PRP is autologous, there is no risk of disease transmission or immune reaction. The risks are primarily related to the injection itself, which include minor bruising, temporary increased pain, and very rare infection. These risks are minimized with proper sterile technique and ultrasound-guided needle placement.
At Dynamic Athlete, every Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection is prepared in a controlled clinical environment with ultrasound-guided placement, reducing risk well below what you would face with surgery or repeated cortisone.
In our clinic, complications from PRP are exceptionally rare.
Dr. Garg’s internal medicine board certification means he evaluates systemic safety considerations alongside the orthopedic indication, which is an authority layer most PRP providers do not carry.
Patient Experience: Most patients experience only mild, temporary soreness after PRP therapy with no significant side effects.
Yes. You should stop taking anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs like ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin) for at least one week before and two to four weeks after your PRP injection.
Anti-inflammatory drugs suppress the inflammatory cascade that PRP is specifically designed to activate. When you take NSAIDs after a PRP injection, you are essentially working against the treatment by blocking the growth factor signaling that drives tissue repair. This is one of the most common reasons PRP underperforms at other clinics.
At Dynamic Athlete, we provide detailed pre-treatment and post-treatment guidelines as part of your Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol to ensure nothing interferes with your healing response.
Medication management is a critical and often overlooked part of PRP success.
Patient Experience: Most patients find it manageable to pause anti-inflammatory medications during their PRP therapy treatment window.
You can return to light activity within a few days of a PRP injection, with a gradual return to full exercise over two to six weeks depending on the tissue treated and the intensity of your training.
The early days after PRP are critical for the healing cascade. Jumping back into high-impact activity too soon can disrupt the repair process. We provide a structured return-to-activity protocol that protects the treated tissue while keeping you moving and maintaining fitness.
After your Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection at Dynamic Athlete, you receive a structured return-to-sport protocol built around your specific tissue, your sport, and your training load.
The goal is getting you back to what you love doing safely and sustainably.
Patient Experience: Most patients return to running, cycling, or skiing within a few weeks of PRP therapy, following their individualized protocol.
Your first PRP appointment at Dynamic Athlete includes a thorough evaluation, diagnostic ultrasound assessment, blood draw, PRP preparation, and the injection itself, typically taking about 60 to 90 minutes total.
We start with a clinical evaluation and imaging review to confirm the diagnosis and identify the exact tissue generating your pain. A diagnostic ultrasound is performed to visualize the area in real time. Your blood is then drawn and processed using our multi-spin protocol while you wait. The Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection is then performed under ultrasound guidance.
You will leave with clear post-treatment instructions, activity guidelines, and a follow-up plan tailored to your condition.
There are no surprises. We walk you through every step.
Patient Experience: Most patients feel well-informed and comfortable throughout their entire PRP therapy appointment.
PRP is better for long-term results because it promotes actual tissue repair, while cortisone only provides temporary pain relief and can damage tissue with repeated use.
Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory that suppresses pain quickly, sometimes within days. But it does not fix anything. Repeated cortisone injections have been shown to accelerate cartilage loss in joints and weaken tendons, actually making the underlying condition worse over time.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol at Dynamic Athlete is designed for patients who want to address the root cause of their pain rather than mask it with a treatment that may be doing further damage.
Short-term relief that causes long-term harm is not a solution.
Dr. Garg’s Andrews Sports Medicine fellowship training and Team Physician experience across hockey, soccer, and sports medicine clinic populations means tendon biologic protocols have been refined across thousands of cases.
The Dynamic PRP+ protocol is the same one Dr. Garg teaches other physicians as the Founder/Medical Director of the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI), which means the comparison frame reflects what experienced regenerative physicians nationally treat as best-in-class.
Patient Experience: Patients who have tried both cortisone and PRP therapy consistently tell us the difference in lasting relief is night and day.
Yes. Trying PRP before knee replacement is a reasonable and increasingly common approach, especially for patients with mild to moderate arthritis who want to preserve their natural joint as long as possible.
If PRP can reduce your pain and improve function enough to maintain your activity level, you may be able to delay or potentially avoid replacement altogether.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection for knee arthritis at Dynamic Athlete uses high-dose preparation and ultrasound guidance to give you the best chance of meaningful improvement before considering surgical options.
Exploring PRP first costs you nothing but time. Surgery is irreversible.
Patient Experience: One patient who was told a full knee replacement was her only option described being blown away by how well her knee is doing after treatment at Dynamic Athlete.
PRP uses concentrated platelets and growth factors to stimulate repair, while stem cell therapy uses bone marrow aspirate (BMA) or microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) to introduce regenerative cells with broader healing capabilities.
PRP is typically appropriate for tendon injuries, mild to moderate arthritis, and ligament damage. Stem cell therapy is often better for advanced degeneration, larger tissue defects, or conditions that have not responded to PRP.
At Dynamic Athlete, we offer both Dynamic PRP+ PRP injections and Dynamic Stem Cell+ stem cell therapy, and the recommendation is based on your specific diagnosis, imaging, and clinical findings.
The right biologic for the right condition is what drives outcomes.
The Dynamic PRP+ protocol is the same one Dr. Garg teaches other physicians as the Founder/Medical Director of the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI), which means the comparison frame reflects what experienced regenerative physicians nationally treat as best-in-class.
Patient Experience: Most patients appreciate having both PRP therapy and stem cell therapy available so the treatment matches their specific needs.
Clinical evidence shows PRP outperforms hyaluronic acid injections for knee arthritis, particularly at six and twelve month follow-ups, because PRP actively promotes tissue repair while hyaluronic acid only provides temporary lubrication.
Hyaluronic acid (brands like Synvisc, Euflexxa, Supartz) acts as a lubricant and shock absorber inside the joint. It can reduce pain temporarily but does nothing to address the underlying cartilage damage or inflammatory process. PRP reduces catabolic enzymes, supports chondrocyte function, and improves the overall joint environment.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection at Dynamic Athlete delivers a high-dose biologic that works at the cellular level, not just as a lubricant.
Multiple meta-analyses support PRP over hyaluronic acid for longer-lasting knee arthritis results.
The Dynamic PRP+ protocol is the same one Dr. Garg teaches other physicians as the Founder/Medical Director of the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI), which means the comparison frame reflects what experienced regenerative physicians nationally treat as best-in-class.
For advanced arthritis where PRP may not be enough alone, our Dynamic Stem Cell+ protocol (BMA or MFAT) is the logical next tier of biologic intervention.
Patient Experience: Most patients who have tried both PRP therapy and gel injections report better and longer-lasting results with PRP.
PRP can help many patients avoid or delay surgery, which means maintaining your activity level through ski season and beyond rather than spending months in post-surgical rehabilitation.
Surgical recovery can cost you weeks to months of activity. PRP recovery is measured in days, with a gradual return to full activity over weeks.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol is designed for active patients who cannot afford extended downtime. We treat the injury, provide a structured return-to-sport plan, and keep you moving.
Missing a season matters. Your time on the mountain matters.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer, which means the Dynamic PRP+ return-to-sport protocol is built on elite-athlete return-to-play standards, scaled for recreational Front Range populations.
Patient Experience: One patient who saw too many people his age with negative results after rotator cuff surgery tried PRP instead and reported that his shoulder is progressing better than expected. He considers it a complete success and will not be needing surgery.
Yes. Professional athletes across every major sport use PRP for injury recovery and joint maintenance. The same biology that works for professionals works for recreational athletes because the treatment relies on your own platelets and growth factors.
Many NFL, MLB, NBA, and professional tennis players have used PRP for career-extending treatment. The biological mechanisms are identical regardless of athletic level. What matters is the quality of the PRP preparation and the accuracy of the injection.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol delivers the same caliber of treatment that professional athletes receive, with ultrasound-guided precision and high-dose preparation.
Your body responds to the same biology as a professional athlete’s body.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer, which means the Dynamic PRP+ return-to-sport protocol is built on elite-athlete return-to-play standards, scaled for recreational Front Range populations.
Professional multi-modal protocols typically combine Dynamic PRP+ with Dynamic Shockwave+ to prime the tissue and EMTT to amplify the repair signal — the same layered protocol is available to our recreational Front Range patients.
Patient Experience: Most recreational athletes on the Front Range report outcomes from PRP therapy that match what they read about professional athlete experiences.
Most patients return to light running or cycling within two to three weeks after a PRP injection, with a full return to training intensity over four to eight weeks depending on the condition treated.
Returning to activity too soon can disrupt the healing cascade, while waiting too long can lead to deconditioning. We provide a structured, progressive return-to-sport protocol that balances tissue protection with maintaining your fitness base.
After your Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection at Dynamic Athlete, you receive a timeline specific to your condition, your sport, and your training goals. We do not use generic restrictions.
Getting back to the trails and roads safely is the whole point of treatment.

For runners whose pain has persisted into central sensitization, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) can dampen the centralized pain while the tissue continues to remodel.
Patient Experience: Most runners and cyclists in the Boulder area return to their training within weeks of PRP therapy.
PRP can help maintain joint health and slow the degenerative process that comes with years of activity, allowing you to stay on the trails and slopes longer than you might expect.
Joint degeneration is progressive but not inevitable at the pace most people fear. PRP addresses the inflammatory and catabolic processes that accelerate cartilage breakdown, supporting joint health and reducing pain at every stage.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection at Dynamic Athlete is part of a long-term joint health strategy, not just a one-time fix for acute pain.
Staying active as you age is not about luck. It is about maintenance.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer, which means the Dynamic PRP+ return-to-sport protocol is built on elite-athlete return-to-play standards, scaled for recreational Front Range populations.
For patients where cartilage loss has advanced past what PRP can address alone, our Dynamic Stem Cell+ protocol (BMA or MFAT) extends the biologic options; Dynamic Mind+ (EXOMIND) supports patients whose chronic pain has centralized.
Patient Experience: Many patients in their fifties and sixties continue hiking fourteeners and skiing Colorado’s resorts after incorporating PRP therapy into their joint care plan.
Many patients who thought their running days were over return to running after PRP treatment.
Running demands healthy cartilage, strong tendons, and stable ligaments, and when any of those fail, running becomes painful or impossible. PRP targets the specific tissue that is failing, whether it is a knee joint, an Achilles tendon, or a plantar fascia, and provides the biological stimulus needed for repair.
At Dynamic Athlete, we treat runners from across the Front Range with our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol, designed specifically for patients who want to return to high-demand activity.
We understand what being sidelined feels like. Getting you back out there is why we do this.
Dr. Garg is a Team Physician for USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer, which means the Dynamic PRP+ return-to-sport protocol is built on elite-athlete return-to-play standards, scaled for recreational Front Range populations.
Patient Experience: One runner with a crack in her kneecap who was kept from training had a plan from Dr. Garg that healed it without surgery and got her back to full training and running.
PRP works through a completely different mechanism than cortisone, so the fact that cortisone stopped working does not mean PRP will fail. In fact, it is often the patients whose cortisone has stopped working who benefit most from PRP.
Cortisone suppresses inflammation but does not repair tissue. Over time, the underlying damage progresses, and cortisone can no longer mask it. PRP addresses the actual structural damage by delivering growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection at Dynamic Athlete is designed for patients who have exhausted conventional approaches like cortisone and want a treatment that targets the root cause of their pain.
When masking stops working, repairing becomes the path forward.
The Dynamic PRP+ protocol is the same one Dr. Garg teaches other physicians as the Founder/Medical Director of the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI), which means the comparison frame reflects what experienced regenerative physicians nationally treat as best-in-class.
For patients where PRP alone may not be enough, Dynamic Shockwave+ can prime the tissue before the injection and Dynamic Mind+ (EXOMIND) can address the centralized pain component.
Patient Experience: Most patients who transitioned from cortisone to PRP therapy report the kind of sustained improvement that cortisone never delivered.
Yes. PRP can be used after surgery to accelerate tissue healing, reduce post-operative inflammation, and support the repair of surgically reconstructed structures like tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Surgical repair creates the structural framework for healing, but the biological environment determines how quickly and completely that healing occurs. PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the surgical site, enhancing the body’s natural repair response and potentially reducing rehabilitation time.
At Dynamic Athlete, our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection is available as a post-surgical support treatment for patients who want to optimize their recovery timeline.
Faster healing means less time in rehab and more time returning to normal life.
Patient Experience: Many patients who receive PRP therapy after surgery report feeling ahead of schedule in their rehabilitation.
The main factors affecting PRP outcomes are preparation quality, injection accuracy, condition severity, overall health, and the state of your nervous system.
Patients with chronic pain conditions often have an overactive stress response (sympathetic dominance) that suppresses the body’s healing mechanisms. Sleep, nutrition, and stress levels all influence how your tissue responds to PRP.
At Dynamic Athlete, we address these factors comprehensively. In addition to our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol, patients dealing with chronic pain and elevated stress can benefit from our Dynamic Mind+ TMS therapy (EXOMIND) protocol, which helps reset the nervous system toward a parasympathetic healing state.
Healing is not just about the injection. It is about your body’s readiness to respond.
For patients whose chronic pain has rewired the nervous system, our Dynamic Mind+ TMS protocol (EXOMIND) pairs with Dynamic PRP+ to reset the pain processing so the biologic can do its work.
Patient Experience: Most patients who optimize their overall health alongside PRP therapy experience the best results.
PRP is safe for older adults because it uses your own blood, eliminating risks associated with synthetic drugs, donor tissue, or surgery. Age is not a contraindication.
Older adults may need higher-dose PRP or a series of injections. The response may be slightly slower, but growth factors remain effective across all age groups.
Our Dynamic PRP+ PRP injection protocol adjusts preparation based on age and condition severity to maximize results.
PRP is one of the safest options for joint and tendon conditions at any age.
For older adults with advanced degeneration, our Dynamic Stem Cell+ protocol may be the better biologic fit; both are safe at any age.
Dr. Garg’s internal medicine board certification means he evaluates systemic safety considerations alongside the orthopedic indication, which is an authority layer most PRP providers do not carry.
Patient Experience: Many patients in their sixties and seventies respond well to PRP therapy and stay active.
