When your body doesn’t move like it used to, when joints feel stiff, or an old injury keeps flaring up, it’s more than just an inconvenience. It chips away at your freedom. In a city like Scottsdale, where wellness and movement are part of the lifestyle, pain isn’t just annoying, it gets in the way of living fully.
From the hiking trails at McDowell Sonoran Preserve to golf rounds in the sun or simply navigating the stairs at Scottsdale Quarter, mobility matters here. And that’s why so many people are turning to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a natural, non-surgical option that works with your body’s biology to promote real healing.
At Regenerative Performance, we don’t just offer PRP treatments, we build personalized recovery plans that consider everything from your medical history to your day-to-day habits.
Your blood is made up of several key components, and one of the most powerful for healing is platelets. These tiny but potent cell fragments carry signals that tell your body where to repair, rebuild, and restore tissue.
PRP therapy takes a small sample of your own blood, runs it through a centrifuge to concentrate those healing platelets, and reintroduces them directly into the area that’s been giving you trouble, whether that’s a shoulder that aches after pickleball, a low back that nags after golf, or a hip that aches after long walks.
Scottsdale blends activity and lifestyle in a way few cities do. It’s not unusual to see retirees playing pickleball next to college athletes doing sprint drills, or wellness-focused parents hiking Tom’s Thumb while their kids tackle rock walls at Life Time.
That shared energy, the drive to stay moving, stay sharp, and live well, makes PRP a great fit here. It supports that rhythm without pulling you out of it. There’s no drawn-out downtime, no long recovery curve. It fits right into the way people already live in this city: full throttle, but balanced.
The actual treatment is pretty straightforward:
That’s it. No hospital stay. No surgical scars. Most people feel okay to get back to their normal routine within a few days, with some temporary activity adjustments depending on what’s been treated.
This isn’t a plug-and-play treatment. Every patient we see has a different story and the truth is, how your body heals depends on more than the injury itself. That’s why our team, led by Dr. Drew Timmermans, looks at the full picture: sleep, nutrition, movement patterns, and stress levels, too.
We combine advanced diagnostic tools like ultrasound imaging with a deeply human approach. That means the PRP goes exactly where it needs to, and you leave with a plan, not just a procedure. Our Scottsdale patients appreciate that we listen as much as we treat.
You don’t have to be a CrossFit athlete or weekend warrior to benefit from PRP. In fact, some of our best results come from Scottsdale locals who’ve simply been living with discomfort—quiet joint pain, long-healed injuries that never quite got back to 100%, or the wear and tear that comes from an active, full life.
PRP may be a great option for individuals who are:
And because it uses your own cells, the treatment is low risk. There’s nothing foreign going into your system, just your own biology being put to better use.

Every person heals a little differently. Some people start noticing a difference after a couple of weeks. For others, it might take a month or two to feel the full shift. But when that shift happens, it usually lasts, and that’s what makes it different from a quick-fix injection like cortisone.
As of now, most plans don’t cover PRP because it’s classified as regenerative injections. We know that’s frustrating. But, we do offer financing options through Advance Care Card to make it a bit more accessible. Most of our Scottsdale patients say it’s worth the investment, especially when it means avoiding surgery or potentially harmful cortisone injections.
Sometimes, yes. Other times, the body needs more encouragement. While some people will require two to three treatments over time, we don’t recommend cookie-cutter plans; it all depends on how your body responds.
That’s actually one of the most exciting things about PRP. Even if an injury “healed,” if it never healed right, PRP can reinitiate that natural repair process. We see a lot of Scottsdale patients who finally found relief from PRP after years of living with subpar recovery.
We’ve seen fantastic outcomes in all major areas of the body, including knees, hips, the low back, shoulders, and even the neck. Tendons and ligaments respond particularly well because they often struggle with blood flow. PRP helps bridge that gap.
Generally, yes—with a few smart modifications. If you’re working out at gyms in North Scottsdale or running trails near Papago Park, we’ll help tailor your activities to complement healing without derailing it. We often recommend physical therapy as part of your healing, as movement and exercise are often encouraged for maximal healing.
When you live in a place like Scottsdale, where staying fit and feeling well are part of daily life, not just something on a to-do list, being limited by pain is more than inconvenient. It’s exhausting.
PRP therapy offers a new approach. It’s not a band-aid, and it’s not a dramatic intervention. It’s just your own body, focused and amplified.
If you’ve been stuck in a loop of rest, flare-up, repeat, it might be time to try something that gets to the root cause. Reach out to Regenerative Performance and schedule your consultation today. We’re just outside the heart of Scottsdale in Gilbert, and we’re ready to help you move forward.
