What Is RPA Therapy?
RPA Therapy is a specialized, ultrasound-guided injection technique delivering regenerative biologics–such as PRP, amniotic fluid, or exosomes–directly to inflamed or irritated perivascular tissues where nerves and blood vessels often cause chronic pain. Unlike traditional PRP injections targeting joints or tendons, RPA Therapy addresses neurovascular inflammation, a frequently overlooked source of nerve pain, post-surgical discomfort, and persistent musculoskeletal issues.
Benefits of RPA Therapy:
- Targets inflammation at the nerve-vessel interface
- Promotes vascular and neural healing
- Relieves tendon, ligament, and fascia pain without steroids
- Ideal for patients unresponsive to surgery, cortisone, or standard PRP
- In-office, minimally invasive, no general anesthesia required

Frequently Asked Questions About RPA Therapy
-
RPA Therapy relieves pain and inflammation caused by neurovascular irritation, especially when other treatments have failed. It’s ideal for nerve-dominant pain, failed surgery outcomes, or chronic joint pain without obvious structural damage.
-
While RPA may utilize PRP or stem cells, it differs in technique and target area. PRP typically focuses on tendons or joints, whereas RPA targets the nerve-blood vessel interface, improving outcomes for nerve-related pain.
-
Patients with persistent pain after joint replacement or orthopedic surgery, chronic tendon/ligament pain, nerve pain unresponsive to medication, and those seeking non-surgical biologic healing.
-
Most patients feel mild discomfort comparable to a flu shot. Local anesthetics and ultrasound guidance minimize pain and enhance precision.
-
Healing often begins within 1-3 weeks, with peak results around 4-8 weeks. Some cases may require a second session.
-
Most regenerative biologic treatments like RPA are elective and not covered by insurance. We offer flexible financing, FSA/HSA compatibility, and transparent pricing.
