Welcome to our latest episode of #TreatmentTuesday! In this video, Regenerative Medicine Specialist Dr. Niteesh Bharara answers a common question: "Is PRP Therapy painful?"

Dr. Bharara reassures patients that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is generally very mild compared to the chronic pain and discomfort they might be experiencing daily. The temporary discomfort from the PRP procedure is typically minimal and often outweighed by the significant relief and healing benefits that follow. Non-surgical procedures like PRP Therapy are much less painful and have a quicker recovery time as compared to surgical alternatives.
