PRP Therapy
in Westchester County, NY

Care at Integra Health is led by Dr. Noble Thomas, DC, MSACN, and our clinical team evaluates every PRP candidate before any injection is planned. That matters, because platelet-rich plasma works well for some problems and poorly for others, and a clinic that treats everyone treats no one honestly.

We examine the painful area, review your history and imaging, and use ultrasound guidance when appropriate so the plasma lands precisely where the damaged tissue is. If an option from our full PRP treatment program or a referral elsewhere serves you better, that is what you will hear.

Platelet-rich plasma starts with a small sample of your own blood, drawn in our Hawthorne office like routine lab work. A centrifuge separates and concentrates the platelets, the cells that carry your body's repair instructions, and that concentrated layer is injected into the injured joint or tendon.

The point is biology, not chemistry. PRP raises the concentration of your own growth factors at the exact spot where healing has stalled, and because the material comes from you, rejection and allergic reaction are not concerns.

PRP for Knee Pain and Osteoarthritis

Knee arthritis is the most common reason Westchester patients ask us about PRP, and it is where the published research is strongest. Injections placed into the joint quiet inflammation and support the cartilage environment, helping patients stay active, delay joint replacement conversations, or step away from cortisone shots that have stopped holding.

PRP for Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Injuries

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, partial-thickness tears, and biceps tendon irritation make reaching overhead, lifting, and sleeping on one side miserable. PRP delivers concentrated growth factors into damaged tendon tissue that has naturally limited blood supply, and we pair it with rehab so the shoulder gets stronger as it heals.

PRP for Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow

Elbow tendons heal slowly, which is why tennis elbow and golfer's elbow can drag on for a year or more despite rest, braces, and stretching. Chronic elbow tendinopathy is one of the better-studied uses of PRP, and a precisely placed injection can restart a stalled healing response for racquet players, lifters, and desk workers alike.

PRP for Hip Pain and Bursitis

Outer hip pain from gluteal tendinopathy or greater trochanteric pain syndrome, and stiffness from early hip arthritis, respond poorly to rest alone. PRP targets the irritated tendon and joint tissue itself rather than masking the signal, and we evaluate the hip, spine, and gait together because hip pain rarely travels alone.

No, and the difference matters when comparing providers. Much of the PRP marketing you will see in Westchester comes from med spas offering facials and cosmetic microneedling. This page is about orthopedic PRP: injections into joints and tendons to treat pain and restore function.

Integra Health does offer PRP for hair thinning and skin rejuvenation too; those applications are covered on our main PRP treatments page. If your goal is a knee, shoulder, elbow, or hip that works again, you are in the right place.

The strongest candidates are adults with mild to moderate joint arthritis or a chronic tendon injury that has plateaued despite rest, activity changes, or physical therapy. If cortisone relief keeps fading faster each time, PRP is worth a serious conversation.

PRP tends to be a poor fit for end-stage bone-on-bone arthritis, active infection, certain blood and platelet disorders, and medications that cannot be safely adjusted, and pregnancy generally defers treatment. We screen for all of this first.

PRP is widely used, but it is not magic, and any clinic promising guaranteed results should worry you. The research base is strongest for knee osteoarthritis and chronic tendinopathies such as tennis elbow, and more mixed elsewhere.

Our job is to match the treatment to the condition, set realistic expectations before you commit, and track your progress at every visit.

Cost is the question we hear most, so here is the straight answer: pricing depends on your plan of care. The factors that move it are how many areas are treated, whether you need one injection or a series of 2 to 3, and whether ultrasound guidance is used. Published national ranges vary so widely that quoting a number without examining you would be guesswork.

Because most insurers still classify PRP as elective, the injection itself is usually self-pay. Our team verifies your benefits at no charge before your first visit, then puts your complete plan cost in writing. Flexible payment options are available, and we will never pressure you into a package.

Most orthopedic PRP in Westchester is delivered inside large surgical groups and hospital systems. Integra Health offers a different experience: one central Westchester clinic where the doctor who evaluates you guides your plan.

We sit just off the Taconic State Parkway and the Saw Mill River Parkway, and the Hawthorne Metro-North station on the Harlem Line is about a five minute walk from our door at 153 Broadway Suite 1.
