The challenge
Many patients arrive at TC Regen after months of joint or tendon pain that hasn't responded to rest, anti-inflammatories, or cortisone injections. They want an option that works with the body's own biology rather than masking symptoms, and they often ask how PRP and PRGF differ from other regenerative treatments and whether either is appropriate for their specific injury.

The Process
01
PRP and PRGF therapy at TC Regen begins with a physician evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether a platelet-based treatment is appropriate. Because PRP and PRGF are prepared from the patient's own blood, they are autologous treatments — the sample is drawn, concentrated, and prepared in-office before being injected at the targeted joint or tendon under image guidance.
02
What PRP and PRGF Are
Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of the patient's own platelets and the growth factors they release, prepared by drawing a small volume of blood and separating its components. PRGF is a refined preparation focused on the growth-factor fraction. Both are autologous, meaning the material comes from the patient's own body, which is why they are widely used as a first regenerative option for orthopedic and tendon conditions.
How TC Regen Uses Them
At TC Regen, PRP and PRGF are delivered by injection under ultrasound guidance to confirm accurate placement at the targeted joint, ligament, or tendon. The specific preparation and number of sessions are selected by the physician based on the structural diagnosis. PRP and PRGF may be used on their own or alongside other regenerative treatments depending on the clinical picture.

What Patients Can Expect
A PRP or PRGF visit at TC Regen is typically completed in a single in-office appointment of 30 to 45 minutes, including the blood draw, preparation, and injection. Most patients return to light activity within 2 to 3 days, with any symptom change developing gradually over several weeks as the treated tissue responds. A TC Regen physician reviews progress at follow-up and may recommend physical therapy to support recovery.
