PRP vs. Regenerative Cellular Therapy: What Patients Should Know

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and regenerative cellular therapies are often grouped under the broad term regenerative medicine, but they are different approaches.

NovaGenix does not currently offer PRP injections. Patients who find this page while researching PRP are welcome to contact NovaGenix to discuss the differences between PRP and the regenerative cellular options currently evaluated by the medical team.

What Is PRP?

PRP is prepared from a patient’s own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets in plasma. Platelets contain proteins and signaling molecules involved in clotting and tissue-repair processes. PRP has been studied in a variety of orthopedic and sports-medicine settings.

What Are Regenerative Cellular Therapies?

Regenerative cellular medicine is a broad category. Depending on the product, it may involve cellular or tissue-derived biologic materials used or studied for their potential role in tissue signaling, repair, inflammation, and recovery. These products are not interchangeable, and their composition, evidence, regulatory status, and appropriate clinical use can differ significantly.

At NovaGenix, regenerative medicine discussions are physician-led and individualized. A consultation is intended to determine whether further evaluation is appropriate and to explain realistic expectations, limitations, alternatives, and safety considerations.

How PRP and Regenerative Cellular Therapy Differ

The simplest distinction is the source. PRP is made from the patient’s own blood. Regenerative cellular therapies may involve biologic materials from other sources depending on the treatment being discussed.

The approaches also differ in preparation, composition, clinical evidence, and potential applications. A treatment that may be reasonable for one condition or patient may not be appropriate for another.

Why Patients Research Regenerative Medicine

Patients commonly seek information about regenerative approaches for knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, ankle, tendon, ligament, and other musculoskeletal concerns. Some are looking for options after physical therapy, medications, injections, or other conservative treatments have not provided adequate relief.

A proper evaluation matters because pain can have many causes. Regenerative procedures are not appropriate for every diagnosis, and some conditions require orthopedic, neurologic, rheumatologic, surgical, or other specialty care.

Does NovaGenix Still Perform PRP?

No. NovaGenix previously offered PRP and has historical experience with regenerative procedures, but PRP is not a current NovaGenix service. The clinic's current services focus on stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine, with treatment considered only after medical evaluation.

If a patient calls asking about PRP, the NovaGenix team can explain how PRP differs from the regenerative approaches currently discussed and help determine whether a physician consultation makes sense.
