PRP Injections: Natural Relief, Healing, and Long-Term Support for Pain

Home » Wellness » PRP Injections for Pain

Pain affects people in different ways. Whether the pain moves through your shoulders, lower back, knees, neck, or legs, it can slowly take away comfort, mobility, and energy.

At Aesthetic Envy, we meet people every day who want their life back — without relying on temporary fixes or solutions that only mask the discomfort.

That’s why PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy has become one of our most requested regenerative treatments. If you need this treatment, you can book an appointment with our highly trained injector, in Sacramento now!

This service is available at our Folsom, Sacramento, and Roseville locations.

Why PRP?

PRP uses something powerful and completely natural: your own platelets. These platelets contain abundant growth factors, which in turn support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote healing throughout the body.

Instead of covering up the pain, PRP works with your body to support recovery at the source. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain from an old injury or a new condition that’s limiting your movement, PRP offers a science-based, minimally invasive path forward.

People Like PRP Because:

  • It’s your own platelets, nothing artificial
  • It helps heal, not just hide symptoms.
  • It’s quick and minimally invasive.
  • There’s basically no downtime.
  • It goes after the real source of the pain.
  • It can be used for tons of conditions

How the PRP Process Actually Works For Pain Relief

PRP pain treatment works in a simple yet powerful way. Platelet-rich plasma is made by taking a small sample of your blood and spinning it down to increase the concentration of platelets. This enriched plasma is then injected directly into the injured or painful area to support healing and reduce discomfort.

Platelets are known for their role in blood clotting, but they also hold an impressive ability to help repair muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

For years, PRP therapy has been widely used during surgeries to support better healing and improve overall outcomes.

Past and ongoing clinical trials continue to show how effective PRP can be. Most studies report noticeable improvements in healing, tissue regeneration, pain levels, and the function of the treated area.

Because of these results, PRP has become an important option for pain relief—especially for people of all ages who may not be ideal candidates for invasive procedures or surgery.

The benefits of platelet-rich plasma therapy are clear, and at Aesthetic Envy, we use PRP to help many of our patients find relief from pain.

Who’s a Good Candidate for PRP?

PRP might be right if you:

  • Want a natural alternative to manage pain
  • Prefer to avoid surgery or long-term medicines.
  • Have chronic pain that hasn’t improved
  • Are you healing from an injury and want to speed recovery?
  • Want better mobility and less inflammation.
  • Have tried everything else without real improvement

In short, if you’re tired of being in pain, PRP gives you a promising, regenerative option.

PRP Injections FAQs

What are PRP injections?

Think of PRP as your body’s own repair kit. After spinning a tiny sample of your blood to isolate platelets, we use the concentrated platelet-rich plasma to help soothe sensitive tissues. It’s all natural; there are no harsh chemicals or unknown substances, just your own platelets to support healing and lowering inflammation.

What kinds of problems can PRP help with?

People visit us in Roseville for problems like:

  • That stubborn knee that hates stairs
  • Achy shoulders
  • Sciatica firing down the leg
  • Carpal tunnel
  • Neck pain from too much laptop time
  • Back issues like herniated or degenerative discs
  • Migraines triggered by tension
  • Work injuries
  • Scoliosis-related discomfort

How long until I actually feel a difference?

Not instantly! Most people start noticing little improvements after a few weeks as swelling settles down and tissues start repairing. The results usually keep building gradually over a couple of months.

Does PRP hurt? And will I need downtime?

You may experience a brief, mild tingling or warming sensation during the injection, but it is generally well-tolerated and not severe. Afterward, some people feel a kind of deep soreness for a day or two — like you worked out muscles you forgot you had. Most people go right back to their day. Heavy lifting or vigorous activities may necessitate some waiting time, although total downtime is minimal.

How many PRP sessions do I need?

It depends on what’s going on inside your body. Some people get great results from just one session. Others do better with two or three, spaced a few weeks apart. Your condition, pain level, and healing goals usually guide the plan.

Is PRP safe?

Yes! Because we’re using your own blood, the risk of a bad reaction is about as low as it gets. No foreign substances, no synthetic fillers. It’s one of the most natural, minimally invasive options out there for pain relief and tissue healing.

Ready to Feel Better Again?

Living with pain isn’t something you just “push through.” PRP gives you a natural, supportive option for real improvement — not temporary numbing.
If you’re ready to move freely again and get back to doing what you like without constant flare-ups, our Sacramento team can help you start that process. Schedule a consultation today!
