Autologous Growth Factor Injections for Chronic Tendon & Fascial Healing in Financial District
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy concentrates natural blood platelets rich in bioactive growth factors (PDGF, TGF-beta, VEGF) to kickstart cellular healing in stubborn, poorly vascularized tissues.
When chronic conditions like recalcitrant plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinosis fail to heal with rest and orthotics, targeted PRP injections trigger collagen synthesis and tissue remodeling. At[cite: 9] Manhattan Podiatry Group[cite: 9], Dr. Mark Sharobeem, DPM[cite: 9], delivers high-purity ultrasound-guided PRP injections directly into damaged tissue zones.
Utilizes your own derived biological factors to heal degenerate tendon fibers and plantar fascia tissue without synthetic medications or foreign biological compounds.
Plantar fasciosis, Achilles tendinopathy, peroneal tendinitis, severe sprains.
Simple in-office blood draw processed via dual-spin centrifuge separation.
Ultrasound-guided delivery into micro-tear zones (approx. 30–45 mins total).
Brief activity modification for 1–2 weeks followed by progressive tissue healing.
A small blood sample is collected and spun in a specialized centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma containing 5x to 10x normal growth factor levels.
Using high-frequency ultrasound, Dr. Sharobeem pinpoints exact areas of tendon thickening or fascial tearing, depositing concentrated PRP directly into damaged tissue.
Growth factors stimulate new collagen matrix assembly and microvascular blood flow over 4 to 8 weeks, permanently strengthening repaired tendon fibers.
Many patients achieve sustained long-term relief after a single injection, though chronic severe tendinosis or large plantar fascial tears may benefit from a 2-session protocol spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
While clinical coverage varies by commercial carrier, our office provides clear transparent self-pay options and assists with reimbursement paperwork where applicable.
Yes. NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen block platelet activity. Patients should stop taking anti-inflammatory medications for 1 to 2 weeks before and after treatment to ensure maximum growth factor release.
Patients are advised to take it easy for 7 to 14 days following the injection. Light physical therapy and low-impact activity resume around week 2, with full high-impact training resuming as tissue remodeling completes.
