PRP for Joint & Tendon Healing
Harness Your Body’s Natural Healing Power
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue regeneration. By concentrating these powerful growth factors and injecting them into damaged areas, PRP promotes faster recovery and long-term relief.
For joints and tendons, PRP works by reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen production, which strengthens ligaments and repairs cartilage.

PRP Therapy Overview: What You Need to Know
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP Therapy for joint and tendon healing utilizes the body’s own platelets to enhance recovery from injuries, chronic pain, and degenerative conditions. By concentrating growth factors, PRP stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair—helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and function.
Looking for an Advanced PRP Treatment?
For advanced healing PRPx delivers a higher concentration of platelets and growth factors, optimizing joint and tendon regeneration. This next-generation PRP solution enhances recovery, reduces pain, and strengthens ligaments and tendons—offering a more effective, long-term alternative to steroid injections or surgery
How PRP Works
Our cutting-edge PRP treatments use your own concentrated platelets and growth factors to promote healing in areas affected by injury, chronic pain, or degenerative conditions. Through a science-backed, minimally invasive approach, we focus on:
- Joint Pain & Arthritis Relief – Reduces inflammation and supports cartilage regeneration in knees, shoulders, hips, elbows, and TMJ
- Tendon & Ligament Healing – Speeds up recovery for tendonitis, ligament injuries, rotator cuff tears, and tennis elbow
- Sports Injuries & Strains – Helps athletes recover faster from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries
- Post-Surgical & Chronic Pain Relief – Accelerates healing and reduces pain post-knee surgery, ACL repair, and meniscus injuries
Unlike temporary pain relief solutions, PRP Therapy targets the root cause of tissue damage, offering a non-surgical, long-lasting alternative for faster recovery and optimal performance.

What to Expect from PRP Treatment
Step 1
Consultation & Evaluation
Determine if PRP or PRPx is right for you
- Before beginning Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, you’ll meet with our Sioux Falls PRP specialists for an evaluation. We’ll review your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals to ensure PRP is the right fit.
- Already Know You Want PRP? If you’ve already decided to move forward, you can schedule your PRP session directly—no consultation required.
Step 2
Blood Draw & PRP Preparation
Harnessing your body’s natural healing power
- Once you’re ready for treatment, we’ll draw a small amount of blood, similar to a routine lab test. Your blood is then placed into a high-speed centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other components.
- If PRPx is chosen, additional processing occurs to create a more concentrated form of PRP with higher platelet and growth factor levels, designed to enhance healing.
Step 3
Precision PRP Injection
Targeted delivery for maximum healing
- Your PRPx injection is administered directly into the affected joint, tendon, or treatment area. We use ultrasound guidance (if needed) to ensure the PRP is placed with precision for optimal regeneration and pain relief.
- How Long Does It Take? The entire PRP procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, with the injection itself lasting just a few minutes.
Step 4
Recovery & Aftercare
Minimally invasive with little downtime
- Most patients experience mild soreness or stiffness for 24-48 hours as the healing process begins. Unlike steroid injections, which only reduce inflammation, PRPx actively repairs tissue, meaning some post-injection inflammation is expected—this is a sign the treatment is working!
- Activity Restrictions.
- First 48 hours: Rest and avoid strenuous activity.
- After 3-5 days: Gradual return to normal movement, as tolerated.
- 2-6 weeks: Most patients notice reduced pain, improved function, and continued healing.
Step 5
Step 5: Follow-Up & Long-Term Healing
Your recovery timeline & next steps
- Because PRPx stimulates natural healing, improvements continue for several weeks to months after treatment. We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to track your progress and determine if an additional PRP session is needed.
- How Many PRP Treatments Will I Need?
- Many patients see significant relief after their first treatment package.
- For chronic injuries or arthritis, multiple treatment packages apart may be recommended.
PRP Therapy FAQs
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair. PRP is created by drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the injured area, joint, or tendon to stimulate natural regeneration.
At Accelerate My Wellness headquartered in Sioux Falls, we use PRPx, an advanced form of PRP that contains a higher concentration of growth factors, enhancing its effectiveness compared to standard PRP. This makes PRPx an optimal solution for patients with chronic pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and joint degeneration.
Results from PRP therapy vary depending on the condition being treated, but most patients begin to notice improvement within 2 to 6 weeks after their first injection. The healing process continues for several months, with many patients experiencing long-term pain relief and improved mobility as their body repairs itself.
With PRPx therapy, patients often report faster and more noticeable improvements due to its higher concentration of platelets and growth factors. At our Sioux Falls clinic, we tailor each PRPx treatment plan based on your condition and healing response.
The number of PRP sessions varies based on the severity of the condition being treated. Most patients need 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results.
At Accelerate My Wellness in Sioux Falls, we also offer PRPx, which delivers greater benefits than standard PRP due to its enhanced healing properties, and does so in only one (1) treatment. During your consultation, we’ll develop a personalized PRPx treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during PRP injections. Since PRPx therapy is derived from your own blood, there is a low risk of adverse reactions. We use advanced injection techniques and numbing options at our Sioux Falls clinic to ensure a comfortable experience.
Pain levels vary depending on the treatment area, but most patients describe the sensation as a mild pressure or soreness that resolves within a few days.
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Some soreness or mild swelling may occur in the treated area but typically resolves within a few days.
For PRPx therapy, recovery may be even smoother due to its advanced formulation, which promotes faster healing and reduced inflammation. At Accelerate My Wellness in Sioux Falls, we provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

At Accelerate My Wellness in Sioux Falls, we specialize in PRPx therapy for joint pain, rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, and knee osteoarthritis—helping athletes and active individuals recover faster without surgery.
Steroid injections temporarily reduce inflammation, but they do not heal the underlying injury. In contrast, PRP and PRPx therapy stimulate natural healing, making them a long-term solution for pain relief.
At our Sioux Falls PRP clinic, we recommend PRPx therapy for patients who want a regenerative approach to healing instead of temporary symptom relief. PRPx has been shown to provide longer-lasting results than steroids, with less risk of joint degeneration over time.

Insurance-free medicine offers several advantages to patients, starting with a more personalized and efficient healthcare experience. Without the constraints of insurance companies dictating treatments or limiting time with doctors, patients receive direct, uninterrupted access to their healthcare provider. This allows for longer, more meaningful consultations that focus on the root causes of health concerns rather than quick fixes. Patients benefit from tailored, comprehensive care plans that aren’t restricted by insurance protocols, leading to faster diagnoses and more effective treatments. Additionally, the absence of insurance bureaucracy often results in reduced administrative delays, enabling patients to take control of their health with minimal hassle and more timely, proactive interventions.
