Biceps Tendinitis and PRP Treatment in Raleigh & Cary, NC
Updated: 1 day ago
Quick answer: PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a concentrated injection of platelets from your own blood, placed under ultrasound guidance. At our Raleigh & Cary offices it is a cash-pay, nonsurgical treatment, and candidacy and exact pricing are reviewed at the evaluation, before you commit.

For patients in Raleigh and Cary, NC dealing with musculoskeletal pain and injury, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be considered when symptoms persist despite appropriate conservative care. PRP uses a concentrated preparation of the patient's own platelets and is intended to deliver growth factors to an injured or degenerative area. At Carolina Nonsurgical Orthopedics, treatment decisions are individualized after a musculoskeletal evaluation, and injections are performed with ultrasound guidance when appropriate to improve anatomic accuracy. PRP is not the right treatment for every patient or every diagnosis, but it can be an important nonsurgical option to discuss before considering more invasive procedures. Our Raleigh and Cary offices evaluate patients throughout the Triangle for regenerative and nonsurgical orthopedic treatment options.
Understanding Biceps Tendinitis and PRP Treatment in Raleigh & Cary, NC
Biceps Tendinitis and PRP Treatment in Raleigh & Cary, NC can cause persistent pain and loss of function when the involved tissue does not recover with time and basic conservative care. A focused musculoskeletal examination and appropriate imaging can help determine the specific structure responsible for symptoms and whether the problem is primarily tendon, ligament, cartilage, joint, or another source.

Patients with biceps tendinitis and prp treatment in raleigh & cary, nc do not all need the same treatment. The goal is to identify the painful structure, understand how severe the condition is, and choose the least invasive option likely to restore function.

Had PRP somewhere else — and it didn't work?
A failed PRP injection doesn't always mean PRP can't help you. The two most common reasons we see when we review outside treatments are dose — many clinics deliver a fraction of the platelet dose used in the studies that showed benefit, and often never measured it — and placement, when the injection was done without ultrasound guidance and never reached the target it was meant for. If your first treatment was underdosed or unguided, having it done properly is a different procedure, not a repeat of the same one. At an evaluation with us, we'll review what was actually done and tell you honestly whether redoing it right makes sense — or whether something else would serve you better.
