Regenerate. Restore. Relieve.
Chronic joint pain or sports-related injuries can sideline your lifestyle—but surgery isn’t always the answer. At the office of Michael Varveris, MD in Naples, FL, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to help your body heal itself naturally. By harnessing the power of your own platelets, PRP reduces inflammation, repairs damaged tissues, and relieves musculoskeletal pain without drugs or downtime.
What Is PRP Therapy and How Does It Work?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated form of your own blood’s platelets—cells rich in growth factors that aid tissue repair. To begin, a small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. This plasma is then injected directly into the area of pain or injury, stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
PRP is especially beneficial for conditions where blood supply is limited or healing is slow. It offers a minimally invasive option for patients seeking pain relief and recovery without surgery or long-term medication.

- Joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip, ankle)
