PRP Therapy in Gilbert, AZ
PRP Injections at Our Gilbert, AZ Clinic
Regenerative Performance's clinic is in Gilbert, AZ, where Dr. Drew Timmermans, ND, RMSK performs image-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for joint, tendon, and spine pain that has not resolved on its own. Every injection is performed under the image guidance the structure requires, using ultrasound, x-ray, or both, and every patient begins with a comprehensive 2-hour evaluation at our Gilbert location to identify what is actually generating the pain before any treatment is recommended.
What PRP Is and How We Perform It in Gilbert
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated preparation of the platelets in your own blood. Platelets store and release growth factors, signaling proteins that support healing: they modulate inflammation, stimulate collagen production, support new blood vessel growth, and recruit the body's own healing cells to the injured area.
Blood draw is typically 120-300 mL, set by the structures being treated and each one's dose target, and every sample is tested in-house to confirm the platelet count meets the therapeutic target for that tissue. Every injection is performed under the image guidance the structure requires, using ultrasound, x-ray, or both.
All of this starts with the diagnosis. Every patient at our Gilbert clinic begins with the 2-hour evaluation, because the diagnosis is what determines whether PRP will help and which structures actually need to be treated.

Knee Pain, Tendinopathy, and Spine Conditions We Treat with PRP
Patients come to our Gilbert clinic for PRP injections most often for knee pain and tendinopathy, though PRP is used across the musculoskeletal system, including select spine conditions.
Knee Pain
Knee osteoarthritis and meniscus tears are among the best-studied uses of properly dosed PRP. Whether PRP fits a given case depends on the stage of the joint damage and what the evaluation finds. PRP does not rebuild a fully collapsed joint.
Tendinopathy
Tendinopathy, degenerative tendon changes sometimes still called tendonitis, is among the most studied uses of properly dosed PRP, though the evidence varies by tendon and by how advanced the degeneration is. Ligament sprains, instability, and specific nerve entrapments are treated with the preparation matched to the tissue.
Some patients are also treated for spine-related pain, including facet joint and SI joint pain. X-ray (fluoroscopy) guidance is added alongside ultrasound for spine injections. Because several structures can produce similar pain patterns, the evaluation, not the symptom alone, determines which structures are actually generating your pain and whether PRP is appropriate. For a closer look at how PRP is used for chronic joint pain right here in Gilbert, see our article on the topic.
Visiting Our Gilbert Clinic
Regenerative Performance's only location is in Gilbert, Arizona, and it is where every evaluation and injection takes place, not a satellite office. Your first visit is the 2-hour evaluation: an in-depth history, a hands-on physical exam, and diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound when it is indicated, which for most musculoskeletal complaints it is. The PRP injection, if recommended, is scheduled as a separate visit.
On injection day, blood is drawn and processed on site over 1 to 1.5 hours while you relax in our IV lounge, and then each structure on your treatment plan is injected under image guidance.

Regenerative Performance's PRP clinic is at 726 N Greenfield Rd, STE 101, Gilbert, AZ 85234.

Who performs ultrasound-guided PRP injections in Gilbert, AZ?
Dr. Drew Timmermans, ND, RMSK performs PRP injections at Regenerative Performance in Gilbert, AZ. He has performed orthobiologic procedures since 2015 and holds the RMSK certification in musculoskeletal sonography. Every injection is performed under the image guidance the structure requires, using ultrasound, x-ray, or both.
Can PRP injections treat tendonitis (tendinopathy)?
PRP injections can support healing in tendinopathy, the chronic tendon degeneration sometimes still called tendonitis. Tendon problems are among the most studied uses of properly dosed PRP, though the evidence varies by tendon and by how advanced the degeneration is. Whether PRP is appropriate depends on which tendon is involved, how advanced the degeneration is, and what a diagnostic evaluation finds; a hands-on exam and diagnostic ultrasound are typically needed to confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
What happens at a PRP evaluation at Regenerative Performance?
A PRP evaluation at Regenerative Performance in Gilbert, AZ, is a 2-hour visit built around three things, in order: your history, a hands-on physical exam, and diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound when clinically indicated, which is the case for most musculoskeletal complaints. That evaluation determines which structures are actually generating your pain and whether PRP, another regenerative option, or a surgical referral makes the most sense. If PRP is recommended, the injection itself is scheduled as a separate visit.
