Heal Faster, Play Harder: How PRP Therapy Treats Sports Injuries
Whether you’re an avid skier in Bogus Basin, a weekend warrior on the Boise River Greenbelt, or a local athlete pushing limits at the gym—injuries happen. At Boise Biologics and Regenerative Medicine, we offer cutting-edge PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to help you recover faster, without surgery or long-term downtime.
Let’s explore how PRP therapy works and the many types of sports injuries it can help treat—right here in Boise.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a natural, regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing power. A small sample of your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate healing platelets, and then injected directly into the injured tissue.
These platelets release powerful growth factors that:
Stimulate tissue repair
Reduce inflammation
Speed up recovery time
This makes PRP an ideal solution for active individuals who want to avoid surgery and get back to doing what they love—fast.
Common Sports Injuries Treated with PRP in Boise
At Boise Biologics, we specialize in treating a wide range of soft tissue and joint injuries using PRP therapy. Here are some of the most common conditions we see:
1. Tendonitis & Chronic Tendon Pain
Examples: Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendinitis, jumper’s knee
PRP helps repair damaged tendons and reduces inflammation that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
2. Ligament Sprains
Examples: Ankle sprains, MCL and LCL injuries
PRP can help partially torn ligaments heal stronger by encouraging collagen growth and tissue regeneration.
3. Muscle Strains & Tears
Examples: Hamstring pulls, quad strains, calf muscle tears
Whether it’s a sprinting injury or a pulled muscle from overtraining, PRP accelerates recovery and supports muscle healing.
4. Joint Pain & Early Osteoarthritis
Examples: Mild arthritis in knees, shoulders, or hips
PRP injections can reduce joint pain and improve mobility by calming inflammation and promoting cartilage health.
5. Rotator Cuff Injuries
Partial rotator cuff tears and chronic shoulder pain are common in overhead athletes. PRP helps reduce pain and improve function without the need for surgery.
