Why Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Is Changing the Way We Heal

A Natural, Proven Alternative to Steroids and Surgery

In a world full of medications, surgeries, and quick fixes, more people are turning to regenerative medicine to heal the body—not just mask the symptoms. One of the most powerful and research-backed tools in this category is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, and its cousin, Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP).

At Form Fitness & Chiropractic, we offer safe, affordable, in-office PRP and PPP injections for a wide range of musculoskeletal and joint issues. Whether you're battling chronic inflammation, recovering from injury, or trying to avoid surgery, PRP could be the solution you’ve been searching for.

What Is PRP?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a healing concentrate made from your own blood. After a small blood draw, we spin the sample in a high-speed centrifuge to separate it into layers. The platelet-rich layer is rich in:

• Growth factors
• Cytokines
• Repair proteins
• Anti-inflammatory mediators

These components work together to reduce pain, accelerate healing, and promote tissue regeneration at the cellular level.

✅ PRP is 100% natural. No drugs. No additives. Just your body’s own healing power—concentrated and redirected.

What Is PPP?

PPP (Platelet-Poor Plasma) is the top layer of the same blood sample, and while it contains fewer platelets, it's still rich in:

• Plasma proteins
• Fibrinogen
• Hydrating nutrients

We often use PPP in combination with PRP, or for aesthetic applications, inflammation control, or mild soft tissue irritation. It can also be effective in lymphatic recovery and hydration support.

Conditions PRP Can Treat

PRP is ideal for muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint-related injuries. Commonly treated conditions include:

• Herniated or degenerative spinal discs
• Sciatica and radiculopathy
• Knee, shoulder, and hip arthritis
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis
• Chronic low back pain
• Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
• Post-surgical recovery and scar remodeling

Long-Term Benefits of PRP Therapy

Unlike cortisone or NSAIDs, PRP is regenerative—not suppressive. It doesn’t just reduce symptoms. It helps your body heal.

Long-term benefits include:

• Reduced pain and inflammation
• Improved range of motion and strength
• Faster return to activity or sport
• Fewer relapses and flare-ups
• Lower risk of surgical intervention

🧠 Research in The American Journal of Sports Medicine has shown PRP to be more effective than corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid injections in managing knee osteoarthritis—with longer-lasting pain relief and improved joint function.

Is PRP Safe?

PRP is considered extremely safe. Because it's made from your own blood, there is virtually no risk of rejection, allergic reaction, or systemic side effects. Side effects are minimal and typically limited to mild post-injection soreness or swelling.

At Form, our protocols are based on:

• Sterile, closed-loop processing
• Precision anatomical targeting
• Integrated care with decompression and rehab support for optimal outcomes

PRP at Form: Affordable, Effective, and Integrated

We know PRP therapy can be life-changing—but at many clinics, it’s also overpriced.

💸 Typical PRP price in Utah Valley:

$800–$1,200 per injection

✅ At Form Fitness & Chiropractic:

Significantly lower per-injection cost—often part of an integrated care plan that includes decompression, chiropractic, and rehab.

We offer bundled regenerative plans that make it easier and more affordable to get real results without the financial stress.

Why Combine PRP with Decompression and Chiropractic?

Disc injuries, joint degeneration, and nerve pain often stem from mechanical imbalances and inflammatory overload. PRP treats the internal biology—but combining it with spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments, and functional rehab accelerates results and helps the body hold the correction long-term.

Don’t Just Manage Pain. Regenerate Health.

PRP and PPP therapies are safe, natural, and backed by real science. If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to joint or disc pain, we’re here to help you rebuild from the inside out.
