WHO THIS IS FOR?

YOUR BODY IS SENDING SIGNALS: A knee that aches on the stairs. A shoulder that won't lift like it used to. Pain that cortisone shots keep delaying but never fixing. These aren't just signs of aging, they're signs your tissue needs real repair.

KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

Cartilage breakdown causing chronic joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility with every step

ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES

Partial tears, impingement, or tendinitis in the shoulder keeping you from lifting, reaching, and sleeping

MENISCUS DAMAGE

Torn or worn meniscus tissue causing instability, swelling, and sharp pain during activity

SHOULDER BURSITIS

Inflamed bursa sacs creating deep aching pain that flares with overhead movements

POST-SURGICAL SLOW HEALING

Recovery stalling after knee or shoulder surgery, with lingering stiffness and incomplete function

CHRONIC TENDON PAIN

Patellar tendonitis, bicep tendon issues, or other chronic tendon injuries that won't resolve on their own

HOW IT WORKS?

01
STEP 01

WE DRAW YOUR BLOOD

A small sample of your blood is drawn, typically 15-30ml, right here at our Lebanon clinic. No hospital, no general anesthesia, no overnight stay. The entire appointment takes under an hour.

MINUTES 0 - 10
02
STEP 02

WE CONCENTRATE YOUR PLATELETS

Your blood is spun in our medical-grade centrifuge, separating the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. The result is a concentrated solution with 5 to 7 times the normal platelet count, loaded with your body's own growth factors.

MINUTES 10 - 25
03
STEP 03

WE INJECT IT WHERE IT COUNTS

Dr. McKinney precisely injects the PRP concentrate directly into the affected knee or shoulder joint. The platelets activate on contact with damaged tissue, releasing growth factors that trigger your body's natural repair process.

MINUTES 25 - 45

THE TECHNOLOGIES

YOUR OWN BLOOD. ENGINEERED TO HEAL.

Normal blood contains about 200,000 platelets per microliter. Our centrifuge process concentrates that into a therapeutic dose your joint has never seen before.

1X
Normal Blood

Standard platelet count. Adequate for everyday healing. Not enough for chronic joint damage or torn tissue.

5-7X
PRP Concentrate

High-dose platelet concentration packed with growth factors PDGF, TGF-b, VEGF, and IGF-1 to trigger accelerated tissue repair.

THE PLATELET-RICH PLASMA PROCESS AT BLUE MOUNTAIN WELLNESS

We process your blood in-house using a medical-grade centrifuge, the same class of equipment used in hospital and clinical settings. Your sample is drawn, spun, and injected in a single appointment, right here in Lebanon, PA. No outsourcing, no delays, no shortcuts.

WHY YOU CAN TRUST THIS?

BACKED BY DECADES OF RESEARCH

IT STARTED IN ORTHOPEDICS.
IT IS NOW IN LEBANON, PA.

PRP therapy was first used in open-heart surgery in the 1980s and later adopted by elite sports medicine programs to help professional athletes recover faster. Over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies have since validated its use for joint, tendon, and soft tissue repair. It is used today by NFL teams, orthopedic surgery centers, and regenerative medicine clinics worldwide. Now it is available right here in Lebanon County through Dr. McKinney at Blue Mountain Wellness.

WHAT LIFE LOOKS LIKE AFTER PRP?

You climb stairs without dreading the first step

Knee inflammation calms. Cartilage begins rebuilding. Movement feels different, smoother and more confident.

Your shoulder lifts again without the catch

Torn tissue heals from within. Reaching overhead, throwing, and sleeping on your side become possible again.

You stop planning your day around your pain

No more avoiding walks, trips, or activities. Your joint stops being the center of every decision.

You avoid surgery, or at least delay it significantly

Many patients reduce or eliminate the need for surgical intervention when PRP is used early enough in the damage cycle.

Your body starts repairing the root cause, not masking it

Unlike cortisone, which suppresses inflammation temporarily, PRP recruits your own biology to rebuild what is broken.

EXPERT SPOTLIGHT

• COMMON QUESTIONS

QUESTIONS WE
HEAR ALL THE TIME

?
Is PRP therapy safe?
Yes. PRP uses your own blood, so there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure with a strong clinical safety record across thousands of published studies.
?
How many injections will I need?
Most patients receive 1 to 3 injections spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Dr. McKinney will build a protocol based on your imaging, your condition severity, and how your body responds to the first treatment.
?
When will I start feeling results?
Most patients notice meaningful improvement between 4 and 8 weeks. PRP works by triggering biological repair, not by masking pain, so results build over time and continue improving for several months.
?
Can PRP help me avoid knee replacement surgery?
For many patients with moderate osteoarthritis, yes. PRP is most effective when used before the joint has reached end-stage damage. Dr. McKinney will review your X-rays or MRI and give you an honest assessment of whether PRP is the right fit.
?
Is it covered by insurance?
PRP is typically not covered by insurance as it is classified as a regenerative therapy. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Call us and we will walk you through what to expect financially before your appointment.
