Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections in Brighton, MI

What is PRP?

PRP therapy is an advanced, all-natural treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery. Platelet-rich plasma is created from a concentrated sample of your own blood — it contains higher levels of platelets, growth factors, and proteins than normal plasma, all of which play a critical role in the body’s natural healing process.

When injected into an injured or inflamed area, PRP activates the body’s repair mechanisms — stimulating cell growth, attracting healing cells to the site, promoting new blood vessel formation, reducing inflammation, and supporting the production of collagen and new tissue. The result is faster, more natural healing without the side effects associated with cortisone injections or the downtime of surgery.

The signaling pathways activated by the growth factors and signaling molecules in PRP have several positive effects:

PRP works by triggering a cascade of healing responses at the cellular level — stimulating new cell growth, guiding healing cells to the injury site, forming new blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients, calming excessive inflammation, and rebuilding the structural tissue needed for lasting repair.

What Can PRP Treat?

Dr. Castelein offers PRP injections to treat a range of foot and ankle conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and osteoarthritis. The injection is placed directly into the inflamed tissue or joint, using your body’s own materials to reduce inflammation and promote healing from within.

Benefits

PRP is minimally invasive, performed on an outpatient basis, and uses the same materials and methods found in local hospitals. Most patients experience little to no downtime and can return to regular activity shortly after. PRP isn’t the right fit for every condition or patient — Dr. Castelein will evaluate your specific situation and help you determine if it’s the right option for you.

Our Process

Dr. Castelein begins by drawing a small sample of your blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. This solution is then injected precisely into the affected area to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. Brighton Foot & Ankle is one of the few podiatry practices in Livingston County to offer PRP — giving patients access to a cutting-edge, non-surgical option that many practices simply don’t provide.
