What Progress Looks Like
Results You Feel, Not See
There’s no before-and-after photo for this one. Joint pain relief doesn’t show up in a picture. It shows up in the stairs you stop dreading and the morning stiffness that fades. Here’s the honest timeline.
2 to 3 Weeks
You may start to notice the first improvement in pain and movement as your platelets get to work.
3 to 6 Months
Full results typically become noticeable, usually across an initial series of 1 to 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Every 4 to 6 Months
Follow-up treatments are usually scheduled at this interval, or as needed to maintain your relief.

What Our Patients Say
What Is PRP for Joint Pain?
A Non-Surgical Alternative, Made From You
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to alleviate joint pain and promote healing. It uses a concentration of your body’s own platelets to stimulate the treated area (the same growth factors your blood already sends to an injury, just concentrated and placed exactly where you need them.
Because the injection is made from your own blood, there’s no foreign substance involved, which significantly reduces the risk of an allergic reaction. It’s most useful for early arthritis or mild tendon injuries, and less so for advanced or severe conditions) a consultation is how we find out which one you’re dealing with.
Seamless Health also trains other practitioners in PRP technique, and was first in the region to offer Cellenis® NaturaGel.

Safety & Aftercare
What To Do
- Rest the treated joint for at least a few days
- Apply ice to the injection site, 15 to 20 minutes at a time
- Drink plenty of water before your procedure, and stay hydrated after
- Maintain balanced nutrition to support healing
- Attend your follow-up appointments
What To Avoid (First 24 to 48 Hours)
- Anti-inflammatories: stop all of them 2 weeks before, and avoid them for 1 week after. That includes Advil, ASA, Aleve, Naprosyn, Voltaren, Arthrotec and Celebrex. They work against the very platelet response PRP depends on
- Avoid strenuous activity for several days, resume sport only once you're pain-free
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24 to 48 hours beforehand
- Tell your provider about any anticoagulation therapy, pregnancy, infection, tumours or metastatic disease. These can rule PRP out
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP therapy safe?
Yes. PRP therapy uses your own blood, which significantly reduces the risk of an allergic reaction. Minor side effects include temporary swelling, redness and soreness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days.
Am I a candidate?
Ideal candidates have chronic joint pain, osteoarthritis, tendonitis or ligament injuries, and are in generally good health. PRP may be beneficial for early arthritis or mild tendon injuries, but less so for advanced or severe conditions. It isn’t suitable if you have a blood disorder, an infection at the injection site, are on active anti-coagulation therapy, are pregnant, or have a tumour or metastatic disease.
How many injections will I need?
Most clients start with an initial series of 1 to 3 PRP treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Patients being treated for osteoarthritis of the knee typically receive two to three injections, spaced two to four weeks apart. Follow-up treatments are usually scheduled every 4 to 6 months, or as needed.
What do I need to stop taking beforehand?
Discontinue all anti-inflammatory medications for two weeks before your injections (including Advil, ASA, Aleve, Naprosyn, Voltaren, Arthrotec and Celebrex), and avoid them for a week afterwards. These medications blunt the inflammatory healing response that PRP is designed to trigger. Also tell your provider about any anticoagulation therapy, pregnancy, infection, tumours or metastatic disease.
Are there restrictions after the injection?
Avoid strenuous activities for several days and resume sporting activities only once you’re pain-free. Recovery is typically 1 to 2 days. PRP can also be combined with other treatments such as physical therapy or medications for enhanced results.
