Healing with Platelet Therapy
Founder and orthopedic specialist, Cassie Mandala, PA-C, has extensive experience in treating patients with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for musculoskeletal conditions. For nearly 2 decades, she has been offering patients PRP as a natural and minimally invasive approach to healing and recovery. She has trained and educated other medical professionals on the utilization of PRP and developed injection techniques that minimize patient discomfort and downtime. She has seen firsthand the life changing effects of PRP, and is proud to offer this natural treatment to her patients.
What to Expect from PRP
Following a simple in-office blood draw, the small blood sample is centrifuged or spun to then extract the maximum amount of growth and healing factors from the plasma. Then, the PRP is delicately injected into the area needing attention and healing.
PRP can offer accelerated healing, improved function, pain relief, even arthritis relief. There are an abundance of clinical studies supporting the use of PRP in treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

Conditions Treated:
01
Chronic Tendonitis & Tendinosis
Conditions like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), and plantar fasciitis may respond to PRP, when other traditional treatments have failed to provide relief.
02
Ligament, Tendon or Muscle Injuries
While promoting healing and tissue regeneration, PRP may also have pain relieving effects on strains and tears.
03
Arthritis
PRP can help to reduce pain, improve joint function, and slow down the progression of osteoarthritis. While there is more data supporting PRP use in the knees, other joints may benefit from PRP therapy too.
04
Post-Surgical Recovery
PRP can be utilized to enhance healing after surgeries involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, or cartilage. From rotator cuff repairs to meniscus repairs, PRP can be an adjunct treatment and healing accelerator to procedures that otherwise have notoriously long recoveries.
05
Scar improvement
A series of PRP injections, spaced months apart, along with microneedling and sometimes other modalities can be used to improve the appearance and thickness of a scar.
Your PRP Treatment Journey
Working it’s magic over the course of weeks to months, PRP counteracts the inflammatory cascade in the body, and promotes a healing environment where injected.
It has proven to be very safe, with extremely low risk of adverse reaction, as it only utilizes one’s own blood components without any additives. Nearly everyone is a candidate for PRP. Depending on the condition being treated, more than 1 treatment of PRP may be needed for the desired effects. Sometimes, only 1 PRP treatment is needed to produce a fantastic result. At Mandala Aesthetics & Wellness, we’ll provide education and guidance on your journey.
