Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses your own blood to rebuild damaged knee and shoulder tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore function, without surgery, without steroids.
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.
Cartilage breakdown causing chronic joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility with every step
Partial tears, impingement, or tendinitis in the shoulder keeping you from lifting, reaching, and sleeping
Torn or worn meniscus tissue causing instability, swelling, and sharp pain during activity
Inflamed bursa sacs creating deep aching pain that flares with overhead movements
Recovery stalling after knee or shoulder surgery, with lingering stiffness and incomplete function
Patellar tendonitis, bicep tendon issues, or other chronic tendon injuries that won't resolve on their own
Patients receiving PRP injections reported significant pain reduction and improved function at 12-month follow-up vs hyaluronic acid group.
Rotator cuff patients treated with PRP showed significantly improved DASH scores and reduced pain at 6-month follow-up compared to corticosteroid injection.
Patients with patellar and rotator cuff tendinopathy reported high satisfaction and return to activity at 12 weeks post-injection.
Patients receiving PRP for grade II-III knee osteoarthritis showed significantly reduced progression to total knee replacement at 2-year follow-up.
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 - 10Your 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 - 25Dr. 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 - 45Normal blood contains about 200,000 platelets per microliter. Our centrifuge process concentrates that into a therapeutic dose your joint has never seen before.
Standard platelet count. Adequate for everyday healing. Not enough for chronic joint damage or torn tissue.
High-dose platelet concentration packed with growth factors PDGF, TGF-b, VEGF, and IGF-1 to trigger accelerated tissue repair.
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.
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.
Knee inflammation calms. Cartilage begins rebuilding. Movement feels different, smoother and more confident.
Torn tissue heals from within. Reaching overhead, throwing, and sleeping on your side become possible again.
No more avoiding walks, trips, or activities. Your joint stops being the center of every decision.
Many patients reduce or eliminate the need for surgical intervention when PRP is used early enough in the damage cycle.
Unlike cortisone, which suppresses inflammation temporarily, PRP recruits your own biology to rebuild what is broken.
"My knee had been bone on bone for years. I was told surgery was my only option. After two PRP treatments with Dr. McKinney, I am back to walking my dogs every morning without pain."
"I tore my rotator cuff and was not ready for surgery. Dr. McKinney suggested PRP and within 8 weeks my shoulder was functional again. I avoided the OR entirely."
"Cortisone gave me maybe six weeks of relief. PRP gave me my life back. I have been pain-free in my knee for over a year now. I wish I had done it sooner."
"The process was simple and the staff made me feel completely comfortable. My shoulder started responding within three weeks. This is real medicine."
Sometimes the best way to understand what Platelet-Rich Plasma feels like is to hear it from someone who has been through it. Our patients came in with painful knees and shoulders and walked out with results. Listen to what they experienced after treatment at Blue Mountain Wellness.
