PRP Therapy in Wesley Chapel for Joint, Tendon and Soft-Tissue Healing
What is PRP Therapy?
At Augustine Chiropractic, we utilize this non-surgical therapy to treat conditions like osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tears, and plantar fasciitis without the need for drugs or invasive surgery. By harnessing your body’s natural growth factors, we target the root cause of pain rather than just masking the symptoms.
At Augustine Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Wesley Chapel, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is offered as a regenerative option for injured or painful joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles when you are a qualified candidate. Care is directed by Dr. Brian Augustine, DC, with the clinical team including Dr. Brooke Andrews, DC, and Heather Simmons, NP, and is built around practical recovery goals — not endless treatment contracts.
PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to help support the body’s natural healing response. It is not surgery, and it is not a guaranteed cure. Your exam decides whether PRP fits your case.

What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood to help promote healing in injured or painful tissues.
In plain terms:
- A small amount of your blood is drawn
- The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets
- The platelet-rich plasma is injected into the injured area (such as a joint, tendon, ligament, or muscle)
Platelets contain growth factors that may help stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
Patient-friendly summary: PRP Therapy uses your body’s own healing cells to help reduce pain and promote healing of injured joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. After a simple blood draw, concentrated platelets are injected into the affected area to support natural tissue repair and improve function without surgery.
- Results vary by diagnosis, severity, and overall plan
- Candidate screening comes before treatment recommendations
- PRP is one tool — not a promise that every patient will avoid surgery or eliminate pain
