PRP Therapy in Greenwood Village, CO
Harnessing your body's own healing factors to reduce pain and promote tissue repair. Performed by Dr. Matthew Hyzy at our Greenwood Village clinic, serving the south Denver metro.
PRP Therapy
What PRP Therapy Involves
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy concentrates the healing factors already in your blood and places them precisely into the injured tendon, ligament, or joint under ultrasound guidance. A small blood draw is processed in-office, then injected where imaging and exam point to the problem. The goal is to support tissue repair and reduce pain rather than mask it. PRP is not limited to joints and tendons — spinal PRP is used for selected disc, facet, and ligament pain in the neck and low back.
Who Needs This
- Knee osteoarthritis when replacement has been recommended but isn't wanted yet
- Tendon problems that never resolved — rotator cuff, tennis elbow, gluteal or hamstring tendons
- Partial ligament injuries from skiing, cycling, or lifting
- Hip and shoulder pain that returns after cortisone wears off
- Athletes who want to keep training instead of taking a surgical recovery
- Spine pain — disc, facet, or ligament sources in the neck and low back — where a biologic option is preferred over repeat steroid
How the Work Actually Goes
- 01
Diagnosis first
History, exam, and imaging review to confirm the pain source before anything is injected.
- 02
Blood draw and processing
Your sample is drawn and concentrated in-office the same visit.
- 03
Image-guided injection
Ultrasound or fluoroscopy places the injectate exactly at the target tissue.
- 04
Recovery plan
Activity guidance, loading progression, and follow-up so the tissue is actually rehabbed.
What Affects the Price
- How many joints or tendons are treated in one visit
- Whether imaging or diagnostic injection is needed first
- Single treatment versus a staged series
- Whether Emsculpt Neo or rehab support is added to the plan

FAQs
PRP Therapy FAQs
Does PRP hurt?
Most patients describe pressure and soreness for a few days. We use local anesthetic and give you a specific plan for the first week.
How soon will I notice a change?
Tissue repair is gradual. Many patients report change over 4–8 weeks, with continued improvement for several months.
How many treatments will I need?
That depends on the tissue and the severity. Some problems settle with one treatment; others do better with a staged series.
Can PRP be used in the spine?
Yes — spinal PRP is offered for selected disc, facet, and ligament targets under fluoroscopic guidance. Candidacy is determined at your evaluation after exam and imaging review.
