The Benefits of PRP Therapy
PRP therapy works by accelerating the body’s natural healing process, allowing patients to recover more quickly than with traditional treatments. Many individuals noticer reduced pain and swelling, improved mobility and function, and less reliance on pain medications.
Unlike treatments that only mask symptoms, PRP targets the root cause of pain. By stimulating tissue repair and regeneration, PRP therapy provides long-term relief for patients struggling with chronic pain and joint degeneration.

PRP Therapy Q&A
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses a concentrated form of your own blood’s platelets to promote healing. These platelets contain natural growth factors that help reduce inflammation, repair tissue, and accelerate recovery. At Hecker Sports Medicine, PRP therapy is used to treat a variety of joint, tendon, and ligament injuries.
How does PRP therapy work?
PRP therapy works by drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, and injecting the concentrated solution into the injured area. This process stimulates your body’s natural healing response, helping to regenerate damaged tissue, improve mobility, and relieve pain.
What conditions can PRP treat?
PRP therapy is effective for a wide range of joint and soft tissue conditions, including:
Foot & Ankle Pain: (Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, ligament sprains)
Knee & Hip Injuries: (Osteoarthritis, meniscus injuries, joint instability)
Shoulder, Elbow & Wrist Conditions: (Rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, wrist sprains)
Recovery After PRP Treatment
Following a PRP injection, patients may experience mild swelling or soreness at the treatment site for 24-48 hours. This is a normal part of the healing process as the platelets begin to repair damaged tissue.
Timeline for Improvement:
2-4 Weeks: Initial pain relief and reduction in inflammation.
6-12 Weeks: Continued improvement in mobility and function.
3-6 Months: Maximum healing and long-term benefits.
Each patient responds differently, and outcomes depend on the severity of the condition and adherence to post-treatment care recommendations.
What we work with

Trigger Finger
Trigger finger causes pain, stiffness, and locking of the finger or thumb from tendon inflammation.
Separated Shoulder (AC Joint)
A separated shoulder occurs when the AC joint ligaments are stretched or torn, causing pain, swelling, and limited shoulder movement.

“Highly Recommend”
"I highly recommend Dr. Hecker and his staff. His thorough treatment of my foot issues allowed me to prepare for and complete a successful Inca Trail hike. His shoe recommendations helped me find a comfortable pair of hiking shoes (as well as several of my friends with whom I shared the info). It is so nice to feel like I now know how to find shoes with good support and that I don't have to live with foot pain. His very professional staff also make you feel very welcome and supported. Thank you Dr. Hecker!"
“I was able to play pickeball”
Doctor Hecker is amazing and so is his staff. They are kind, efficient and get the job done. I highly recommend going here if you have an ankle injury. He went above and beyond to make sure my ankle was completely healed before he released me to return to normal activity. The good news was he put me in a brace which allowed me to continue playing pickleball while I healed.
“My treatments worked”
I came to Dr. Hecker for treatment of my Achilles injury after trying ozone shots, acupuncture, and physical therapy without success. Dr. Hecker treated my injury with sugar shots to initiate healing and used Winback , Low Light Lazer, and Piezo Shock Wave therapy. My treatments were a complete success. I was able to return to my running routine averaging 10 miles a week for the last year without a single setback!
