How Dr. Holmes Uses Platelets to Help You Heal
Blood has three main parts: white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Platelets contain the powerful growth factors your body needs to repair injuries. With PRP therapy, we concentrate the platelets into a small amount of plasma by a centrifugation and precise separation process after a simple blood draw from an arm vein. When injected into a damaged area, these factors go to work and help tissue repair faster, and in the case of arthritic joints, can slow the deterioration process.
Many patients notice less pain and better movement just weeks after the PRP treatment. If you're dealing with chronic pain, visit Dr. F. Clarke Holmes in Nashville and get the care you need.

How Can Platelet Rich Plasma PRP Therapy Help You?
A Natural Approach for Chronic Knee Pain Relief
The knee is a common problem spot in the body. If you've been dealing with chronic pain from arthritis, or if you've torn something in your joint, PRP can be an excellent treatment option. It helps many patients delay or even avoid surgery. Unlike hyaluronic acid injections, PRP therapy doesn't just lubricate your joint, it may actually help it heal from within. If you're experiencing knee pain and reside in or near Nashville, Tennessee, contact Dr. F. Clarke Holmes for the safest PRP treatment.
Most appointments take just under an hour. The post-procedure discomfort can range from minimal to moderate, yet is almost always less painful than a surgery. Most experience relief within a few weeks, but in some cases, it can take a couple of months before significant improvement is appreciated. Come meet with the Impact Sports Medicine and Orthopedics team, and we’ll design the right plan to treat your chronic pain.
How the PRP Injection Process Works
At Impact Sports Medicine and Orthopedics, we start by reviewing your medical history. This helps us determine if PRP injections are right for you. If we move forward with a PRP treatment plan, we'll draw a small amount of your own blood, which is placed in a centrifuge where it's spun down to concentrate your platelets. The final mix, the platelet-rich plasma, is injected back into your body precisely and under the guidance of ultrasound- right where you need it. To learn more about your specific condition, visit our blog or watch our videos to better understand our in-office procedures.
Combining PRP Therapy with Physical Therapy
Dr. Holmes often recommends combining PRP therapy with physical therapy to improve results. PRP treatment may kick-start the healing process, but movement helps complete it. We will guide you through safe exercises that will support your recovery. This combination approach works well for active individuals or athletes who are looking to return to their pre-injury routines.
We Keep PRP Treatment Safe & Simple
For most people, PRP has minimal risks. Because it uses your own blood, the risk of side effects is low. But like any procedure, it's not for everyone. If you have an active infection, bleeding disorder, are taking blood thinners or have rheumatoid arthritis, PRP injections might not be right for you. Schedule an evaluation with us today and we'll talk through your medical history to determine if PRP treatment is a good fit for you.
Our clinic isn't just about treatments, it's about partnership, education, and wellness. We work with you to develop a plan that supports healing and helps you return to an active lifestyle that you can enjoy. Call us to learn more about the TendoNova procedure in the Nashville area.
