Enhancing Athletic Recovery With Platelet Rich Plasma
Sports Medicine in Nashville: The Benefits of PRP Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is an exciting non-surgical option that can help athletes achieve a faster and more effective recovery from sports-related injuries. PRP is a concentration of platelets from your own (autologous) blood. These platelets contain growth factors, which can help accelerate your body’s natural recovery process, reduce inflammation, and reduce scar tissue. This helps athletes get back to their sports quickly while also reducing pain and recovery time.
Additionally, since the procedure uses a patient's own blood, there is no risk of an allergic reaction or side effects. With proper treatment and maintenance, PRP can help athletes get back on the field sooner and stronger than ever before.
Dr. Kaminsky also offers stem cell augmentation from body fat (lipoaspiration) and bone marrow.
Platelet-rich plasma can help with:
- Accelerated recovery from acute and chronic injuries
- Reduced inflammation
- Enhanced soft tissue repair
- Reduced pain
- Increased range of motion
Dr. Sean Kaminsky is a leader in providing PRP for sports medicine. He utilizes the latest advanced technology to ensure the best results for his patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better, PRP or Mesenchymal stem cells?
Both Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) seem to work on an individual basis, depending on the person in question and their needs. Each of these treatments has its own set of benefits and drawbacks - Dr. Kaminsky can explain the specifics to you and recommend which one might work best for you.
Will PRP or stem cells lead to growth of new cartilage?
Studies indicate that stem cell and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections can be beneficial to joints with cartilage damage. Initial experiments demonstrate the potential for tissue growth and regeneration, however there is still more research needed to confirm these effects in the real world.
How many injections are necessary?
This is still being evaluated. Several studies show results from a single injection, while others incorporate multiple injections as part of their protocol. As these treatments rely on biological processes, if they are found to be helpful, it may be necessary to repeat them at an appropriate interval. Each patient is unique, and Dr. Kaminsky will discuss his recommendations with you based on your needs.
What is the timeline in response to these injections?
The effects of these compounds vary depending on the level of damage in the joint or tendon. After injection, they begin to work, but because biologic responses need time to take effect, significant changes may not be seen for a few weeks. Progress is typically gradual, with improvements continuing over several months.
