PRP & Stem Cell Therapy
Harnessing your body's natural regenerative potential
Advanced Regenerative Medicine
At Mountain Sun Medical, we offer cutting-edge regenerative treatments that utilize your body's own healing capabilities. Our PRP and stem cell therapies represent innovative approaches to addressing pain, injuries, and certain chronic conditions by enhancing tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. These minimally invasive procedures provide alternatives or complements to traditional treatments, potentially helping you avoid more invasive interventions.
Treatments utilize your body's own regenerative elements to potentially accelerate and enhance the healing process.
Quick, outpatient procedures with minimal downtime compared to surgical interventions.
Ultrasound-guided injections ensure accurate placement of regenerative factors exactly where they're needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves concentrating platelets from your own blood and injecting them into targeted areas to promote healing. Stem cell therapy uses cells with regenerative capabilities, often derived from your bone marrow or adipose tissue, to potentially repair damaged tissues. Both therapies aim to harness your body's natural healing processes to address pain and injuries.
These therapies may be used for various musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis, tendon injuries (such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis), ligament sprains, rotator cuff tears, plantar fasciitis, and certain types of joint pain. They are also sometimes used to enhance healing after surgery or to address chronic pain conditions that haven't responded well to conventional treatments.
Some discomfort may be experienced during the collection of your blood (for PRP) or bone marrow/adipose tissue (for stem cells), and during the injection procedure. However, we use local anesthetics and other techniques to minimize pain. Most patients report the procedures to be well-tolerated with manageable discomfort. After treatment, some patients experience temporary soreness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.
Response times vary depending on the condition being treated and individual factors. Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, while others may take several months to experience the full benefits. These therapies work by initiating and enhancing natural healing processes, which occur gradually over time. Most complete results are typically observed between 3-6 months after treatment.
Currently, most insurance companies consider PRP and stem cell therapies to be investigational or experimental and do not provide coverage. However, we offer transparent pricing and payment options to make these treatments accessible. Some patients may be able to use HSA or FSA accounts, and we can provide necessary documentation for potential reimbursement attempts or tax purposes.
