PRP Therapy for Pets in Eugene, OR
Advanced Regenerative Medicine for Pain Relief and Healing
At The Veterinary Hospital in Eugene, OR, we are proud to offer PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma) as part of our commitment to advanced, integrative veterinary care. This innovative, minimally invasive treatment harnesses the healing power of your pet’s blood to accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, and support long-term joint and tissue health.
What Is PRP Therapy for Pets?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the concentrated healing components of your pet’s blood—specifically the platelets—to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Platelets are rich in growth factors, which play a vital role in the body’s natural healing process.
In veterinary medicine, PRP is commonly used to treat orthopedic injuries, osteoarthritis, soft tissue damage, and post-surgical recovery. Because PRP is derived from your pet’s blood, it is safe, biocompatible, and highly effective in promoting faster, natural healing.
What Conditions Can PRP Help Treat?
At The Veterinary Hospital, PRP therapy is most often recommended for:
- Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
- Hip or elbow dysplasia
- Tendon and ligament injuries (e.g., CCL tears)
- Chronic lameness or joint stiffness
- Post-operative healing support
- Soft tissue injuries
If your pet is not responding well to traditional medications or you are looking for an alternative to surgery, PRP may be a valuable solution.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
The PRP procedure involves several precise, vet-supervised steps:
- Blood Collection – A small amount of blood is drawn from your pet.
- Centrifugation – The blood is spun in a specialized centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
- Injection – The concentrated PRP is injected directly into the affected joint or tissue, where it immediately begins promoting repair.
The entire process is performed in-clinic, often with light sedation to keep your pet calm and comfortable. Most pets recover quickly and experience improved mobility within a few days to weeks.
Why Choose PRP Therapy for Your Pet?
PRP therapy offers several important benefits, including:
- Reduced inflammation and pain
- Accelerated tissue healing
- Improved joint function and mobility
- Minimally invasive, drug-free treatment
- Reduced reliance on long-term medications
- Faster recovery from surgery or injury
For many pets, PRP can delay or even eliminate the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
