PRP injections in Winter Garden, FL
Platelet-rich plasma concentrates the platelets and growth factors in your own blood and delivers them to an injured or worn joint or tendon, where they may support the body's natural repair process. It's a non-surgical option many active adults consider before more invasive treatment.
Areas we treat
Shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, knees, ankles, and feet — nearly any joint or tendon that can be treated in the office. We do not inject hips or the spine, which require image-guided injection; if that's what you need, we'll point you to the right specialist.
How the visit works
- A small blood draw, just like a lab test
- Your sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets
- The PRP is injected into the target joint or tendon
- You leave with clear recovery and activity guidance
What to expect
- Some soreness for a day or two after the injection
- Light activity within a day or two; results, when they occur, typically develop over several weeks
- Some conditions benefit from a series of two or three treatments spaced weeks apart
Good to know
PRP is not a cure and results vary. It isn't appropriate for every condition, and it isn't usually covered by insurance. Dr. Chander evaluates whether you're a candidate and discusses alternatives, including referral when surgical or specialist care is the better path.

Many patients start with one to three treatments, depending on the joint and the condition.
Can PRP be combined with other regenerative options?
Sometimes. We may discuss Wharton's jelly allograft injections when appropriate.
