PRP Therapy in Duncan, BC
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative injection service that uses components from your own blood to help support the body’s natural recovery processes.
PRP contains a concentrated level of platelets and growth factors that may help support the body’s natural recovery response. PRP may be considered for patients experiencing tendon pain, joint discomfort, soft tissue irritation, or chronic musculoskeletal concerns.
At Start Line Health, PRP therapy may be used as part of a broader care plan designed to support pain management, function, and longer-term recovery goals.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Joint, Tendon, and Soft Tissue Recovery Support
PRP therapy is commonly used in orthopedic and regenerative medicine settings to help support recovery in areas where symptoms may be persistent or slower to improve.
Unlike approaches focused primarily on short-term symptom management, platelet-rich plasma therapy is designed to support the body’s natural recovery environment.
PRP injections may be considered for patients experiencing:
- Chronic tendon pain
- Joint pain or stiffness
- Sports-related concerns
- Repetitive strain symptoms
- Persistent inflammation or irritation
Care recommendations vary depending on symptoms, clinical presentation, severity, and overall recovery goals.

How PRP Therapy Works
PRP therapy begins with a small blood draw performed during your appointment.
The blood is processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors before being injected into the targeted area as part of the care plan.
The goal of PRP therapy is to help support the body’s natural recovery response in the targeted area.
Depending on your symptoms and recovery goals, PRP therapy may be combined with physiotherapy or rehabilitation to support movement, strength, and longer-term recovery planning.
