PRP Joint Injections in Garner, NC

PRP is one option to discuss alongside exercise, physical therapy and other medical care for your diagnosis.

( Joint & tendon care )

Start with the cause of your pain

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a blood sample and injected into a selected treatment site. MarSha evaluates knee osteoarthritis, shoulder concerns and elbow tendon pain before recommending a plan.

Shoulder concerns

Golfer’s elbow
A joint injection and a tendon injection target different tissues. The diagnosis, severity and previous treatment guide whether PRP is appropriate. PRP joint injections at MarSha are performed by Dr. Shaikh, M.D., following an individual assessment.

An informed decision about PRP

The goal is a useful change in pain and function. PRP preparations and results vary, so a clear diagnosis and realistic expectations come first.

Your diagnosis first

Review the painful area, examination findings, available imaging and previous treatment.

Evidence and alternatives

Research is mixed, and clinical guidelines differ. Discuss the potential benefit alongside established options.

Rehabilitation still matters

Activity changes and an appropriate exercise plan remain part of care. PRP does not replace necessary orthopedic treatment.

Your PRP injection appointment

Consultations at MarSha MedSpa take place in Garner, North Carolina, for clients from Raleigh, Cary and across the Triangle.

Review your history

Bring imaging reports, previous treatment details and a complete medicine list.

Agree on the plan

Discuss the target tissue, expected benefit, limitations, risks and costs before proceeding.

Prepare and inject PRP

A blood sample is processed to concentrate platelets for injection into the selected site.

Plan recovery and review

Leave with written activity advice, warning signs and a plan to assess your response.
Allow up to about an hour for blood collection, preparation and injection; consultation needs may add time.

Progress and Maintenance:

Allow time to assess

Any benefit may develop over weeks. Temporary soreness or a pain flare can occur first.

Track everyday function

Compare pain, walking, sleep or the activities that matter to you—not just a single good day.

Review the next step

Your response guides further care. There is no universal injection count or repeat schedule.

( Is it for you? )

Is PRP appropriate for you?

Suitability depends on the diagnosis, health history and treatment goals. A painful joint alone does not establish that PRP will help.

A good fit if

  • You have an assessed joint or tendon condition and want to discuss nonsurgical options.
  • You can follow an agreed activity and rehabilitation plan.
  • You understand that benefit is uncertain and may be limited.

Discuss before you begin

  • An acutely hot, swollen joint, fever or sudden inability to bear weight needs urgent assessment.
  • Infection, platelet or bleeding problems, significant illness or medicines may change suitability.
  • Severe structural damage or another diagnosis may need different treatment or specialist referral.
PRP is not a proven way to regrow lost cartilage, cure arthritis or guarantee that surgery can be avoided.

  • Follow your written activity, walking and rehabilitation plan.
  • Ask when to restart exercise and which pain-relief measures are suitable.
  • Keep the injection site clean and attend the agreed review.

Risks and warning signs

  • Infection and nerve or tissue injury are possible injection risks.
  • Seek urgent care for severe or worsening pain, a hot swollen joint or fever.

Questions before you book?

PRP is a concentration of platelets prepared from your own blood. It is injected into a selected site after assessment. It is different from a stem-cell or exosome treatment; tendon injections and injections inside a joint are also different procedures.

Some people report improved pain and function, but studies and clinical guidelines disagree. Evidence varies by condition, preparation and technique. Shoulder pain may arise from a joint, tendon or another cause, so diagnosis matters. PRP cannot be promised to rebuild cartilage or repair a tear.

There is no single schedule or success rate that applies to everyone. Your diagnosis, previous treatment and response guide whether further injections are reasonable. Improvement, if it occurs, may take weeks; duration varies.

Your provider sets activity and exercise advice for the treated tissue. Do not assume immediate unrestricted activity. Ask about walking, work, braces, ice and pain relief before leaving, and do not change prescribed medicines on your own.

Using your own blood does not remove injection risks. Pain flares, bruising, bleeding, infection and tissue or nerve injury are possible. PRP joint injections are not an FDA-approved arthritis treatment; clearance of preparation equipment does not establish benefit for arthritis.

MarSha MedSpa is self-pay. Your assessment guides the treatment plan and any personalized quotation. Call (919) 747-9733 or Contact Us to arrange your visit.
