What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

PRP enhances the healing process, giving the treatment a deeper, stronger, faster, and longer lasting result. Prolozone (ozone gas) is added to the PRP treatment to help activate the platelets, so they work better. The combination of PRP and Prolozone is more effective together.

Think of PRP as stem cell’s little brother (or sister) because they secrete growth factors and healing agents like stem cells.

Think of PRP as stem cell’s little brother (or sister) because they secrete growth factors and healing agents like stem cells. Unlike most clinics that use PRP, at Embody Wellness Naturopathic we use a TRUE PRP which is 4x the concentration which is necessary for tissue regeneration and to attract stem cells. Also, most clinics do not use Prolozone to help enhance the effectiveness of their treatments with PRP.

How do you make PRP?


To harvest the PRP, A simple blood draw is performed and a special kit, centrifuge machine is used to isolate and concentrate the platelets in the blood. The procedure takes 15 minutes to get the PRP.

I just finished my 4th session with Dr. Hanson. My shoulder is totally pain free, did not require treatment this session, and is back to normal.

My hip that was diagnosed as needing replacement, is now 95% pain free and has allowed me to Alpine ski 5 times this winter and back country ski on a 3 day wilderness snow camp trip with a 50# pack. Amazing results. thank you Dr. Hanson and Embody Wellness.
