PRP injections in Greeley, from a medical practice

A PRP injection uses your own blood. We draw a small amount, spin it to concentrate the platelets, and inject that platelet-rich plasma into the joint, tendon, scalp, or skin that needs help healing. Platelets carry growth factors, and putting a high concentration of them exactly where tissue is damaged is the idea behind every regenerative injection. NOCO Healthcare offers PRP in Greeley as part of a medical practice run by a family nurse practitioner, which means the consultation is a real medical evaluation and the answer is sometimes that PRP is not the right tool.

We use PRP for two things: joint and tendon pain, and hair restoration. Each starts with a conversation about whether it is likely to work for you.

PRP for joint and tendon pain

The most common reason people ask about PRP is a knee, shoulder, elbow, or tendon that has hurt for months and has not responded to rest, physical therapy, or a steroid injection. PRP is not a painkiller. It is an attempt to restart healing in tissue that has stalled: osteoarthritis in a knee, tendinopathy in an elbow or shoulder, chronic strains. Results build over weeks rather than hours, and some people need more than one session. Our joint pain services page explains how we evaluate pain first, including imaging when needed, and how we coordinate with Health by Design Chiropractic for bracing and physical therapy when those help.

PRP hair restoration

For thinning hair, PRP is injected into the scalp to stimulate follicles that are still alive but underperforming. It is a non-surgical option, it works best early, and it requires a series of sessions followed by maintenance. We explain candidly who tends to respond and who does not. Our regenerative hair restoration page and our guide to non-surgical hair regrowth cover the details, timelines, and what to expect at each visit.

What a PRP injection costs in Greeley

In general, insurance covers the initial consultation, imaging, and follow-up visits, because those are ordinary medical care. Most insurance does not cover the PRP injection itself. Our pricing depends on the area being treated and the number of sessions recommended, and we give you the number before you commit. Call (970) 888-0399 for current pricing, and ask about payment plans if that would help.

What to expect at the visit

Blood is drawn from your arm, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and the plasma is injected into the treatment area, with numbing as needed. Soreness for a day or two is common. For joints, we usually ask you to ease off heavy activity briefly. For the scalp, you can return to normal activity the same day with a few precautions we walk you through.

Why get PRP from a family medicine practice

Because the same provider who evaluates your knee can also manage your blood pressure, order your labs, and see your kids. PRP at NOCO is not a menu item at a spa; it is one option inside a primary care relationship, and it comes with the honesty that relationship requires. Our about page explains how the practice started and why it stays small.
