PRP Injections Kona
Natural Healing for Injuries, Pain, and Skin Regeneration
Support healing from injury, pain, and inflammation. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your body's own growth factors to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve recovery. All orthopedic injections are performed under ultrasound guidance for precise targeting.
Administered by a licensed naturopathic doctor.
If you are dealing with joint pain, tendon injuries, or slow healing, PRP therapy may be a natural option to support recovery.
Platelet-Rich Plasma uses your body's own healing factors to help repair tissue and improve recovery without relying on medications or invasive procedures.
Other regenerative options like exosome therapy may also be considered.
PRP therapy may be helpful for:
Knee pain
Shoulder pain
Rotator cuff injuries
Tendonitis
Ligament sprains
Tennis elbow
Plantar fasciitis
Hip pain
Chronic joint pain
Sports injuries
Overuse injuries
PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and concentrating the platelets.
These platelets contain growth factors that support healing, tissue repair, and collagen production.
When injected or applied to targeted areas, PRP helps stimulate the body's natural regenerative processes. Orthopedic injections are performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement in the affected tissue.
Precision Matters
At Hawaiʻi Longevity & Regenerative Medicine, orthopedic PRP injections are performed under ultrasound guidance whenever appropriate — not by feel or estimation alone.
PRP is a limited, precious resource — a small volume of concentrated platelets drawn from your own blood. Where it goes matters. Ultrasound lets us see your tissue in real time, so the treatment lands where it belongs.
Book a ConsultationConfirms the PRP reaches the target tissue or joint space — not just the general area.
Lets us see the tissue we want to avoid, so we can steer clear of structures that shouldn't be touched.
We see the actual condition of the tissue — tendon, bursa, and joint surfaces — not an assumption.

A small blood draw is performed at the beginning of your visit.
The blood is then processed to concentrate the platelets, which typically takes about 30 minutes.
The PRP is then injected or applied depending on the treatment area.
Most treatments are completed within approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
Answers to the questions we hear most often — from your neighbors, your friends, and the people we meet at community events.
Both Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid injections are used to help manage joint pain, but they work in very different ways.
Hyaluronic acid is designed to improve lubrication within the joint. It can help reduce pain and improve movement for some people with osteoarthritis by acting as a cushion and lubricant.
PRP takes a different approach. PRP is created from your own blood and contains a concentrated amount of platelets and natural growth factors. Rather than simply lubricating the joint, PRP aims to support your body's natural healing response.
Neither treatment is automatically "better." The right option depends on your diagnosis, your goals, your activity level, and the condition of the joint. During your consultation, Dr. Tori Long will evaluate your history, imaging, and physical examination to determine which treatment may be most appropriate for you.
One of the most common questions we hear is, "How long will PRP last?" The answer depends on what is being treated and how your body responds.
Many patients begin noticing improvement over several weeks, as PRP works by supporting your body's natural healing process rather than providing immediate symptom relief.
For some conditions, the benefits may last six months to a year or longer. Others may benefit from additional treatments depending on the severity of the injury, activity level, and overall health.
Our goal is not simply temporary pain relief. We want to help support healthier tissue, improve function, and keep you doing the activities you love.
Cortisone and PRP are designed to accomplish different goals.
Cortisone is often used to reduce inflammation and may provide relatively quick symptom relief. However, it does not stimulate tissue repair.
PRP uses your body's own healing factors in an effort to support the natural healing process. Improvement may take longer to develop, but for certain conditions, PRP may provide longer lasting improvement than treatments focused only on symptom relief.
The best treatment depends on your diagnosis and individual goals.
Most patients describe PRP injections as uncomfortable rather than painful. Because PRP is injected into an injured area, some soreness during and after the procedure is expected.
It is also common to experience increased soreness for several days following treatment as the body's healing response begins.
Dr. Long uses ultrasound guidance to improve precision and takes time to ensure patients understand what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
Every patient is different. Some patients experience significant improvement after a single treatment, while others may benefit from a series of injections depending on the condition being treated.
Factors such as the severity of the injury, tissue quality, activity level, and overall health all influence the treatment plan. Your recommendations will be individualized after a comprehensive evaluation.
PRP may be considered for individuals experiencing:
PRP is not appropriate for every condition, which is why an evaluation is important before determining whether treatment is recommended.
At Hawaiʻi Longevity & Regenerative Medicine, PRP injections are performed under ultrasound guidance whenever appropriate. Ultrasound allows Dr. Long to visualize the target tissue in real time, improving precision and helping ensure the treatment is delivered to the intended area.
At Hawaiʻi Longevity & Regenerative Medicine, we don't believe healing comes from a single injection.
PRP is most effective when combined with an accurate diagnosis, thoughtful rehabilitation, proper nutrition, healthy movement, and addressing the underlying factors that influence healing.
Depending on your individual needs, your treatment plan may also include advanced laboratory testing, hormone evaluation, nutrition guidance, physical therapy recommendations, or other regenerative therapies to support long term recovery.
