You've tried rest. You've tried physio. Maybe cortisone shots that wore off in weeks. PRP injection therapy is designed to support your body's own repair processes — not just mask the pain.
The cortisone shots that wear off after a few weeks. The anti-inflammatories that mask the problem but never fix it. The physio exercises you did religiously — and the pain came right back. You've been told to "give it time" or "learn to manage it," but you're not ready to accept that this is just how life is going to be now.
Maybe it's a knee that's keeping you off the golf course. A shoulder that won't let you lift overhead anymore. A hip that makes you feel decades older than you are. Whatever the joint, whatever the injury — you're looking for something that actually supports healing, not just another temporary fix.
That's exactly what PRP therapy is designed to do.
In this short video, Dr. Vic explains how PRP works differently from cortisone, anti-inflammatories, and other common approaches — and why supporting your body's own healing process may offer a different kind of result.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative injection treatment that uses your body's own blood to support natural healing. A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then injected directly into the injured or painful area.
The concentrated platelets release growth factors that may help stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support the healing of damaged tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and joints — without surgery or prescription pain medications.
A small sample of your blood is collected, similar to a routine blood test.
Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
The concentrated PRP is injected precisely into the target area to support tissue repair.
Dr. Vic has been performing regenerative injection therapies — including PRP, Prolotherapy, and Prolozone — for over two decades. This isn't a side offering he added recently. Musculoskeletal pain and sports medicine have been at the core of his practice from the very beginning.
What sets his approach apart is the combination of deep experience, thoroughness, and a root-cause perspective. He takes the time to understand the broader picture — why you're in pain, what may be contributing to slow healing, and what else may need to be addressed for the best possible outcome.
Two decades of focused experience — Regenerative injection therapy has been a core part of Dr. Vic's practice from the beginning.
Root-cause approach — Dr. Vic looks beyond the pain to understand metabolic, nutritional, and inflammatory factors that may be affecting healing.
Multiple regenerative options — PRP, Prolotherapy, and Prolozone, with the approach tailored to your specific condition.

From your first call to recovery — here's how the process works.
Call (604) 541-8811 to book. Dr. Vic will assess your condition, review any imaging, and discuss whether PRP may be appropriate.
The PRP procedure takes about 45–60 minutes. Blood draw, processing, and injection are all done in a single visit.
Most patients can return to daily activities within a day or two. Dr. Vic will provide specific recovery guidance for your condition.
Healing progresses over weeks to months. Follow-up visits track your progress and determine if additional treatments may be beneficial.

(604) 541-8811Most patients describe the injection as a brief, moderate discomfort — similar to a dental freezing. Some soreness in the treated area is normal for a few days afterward as the healing response begins.
That depends on your condition and how your body responds. Some patients experience meaningful improvement after a single treatment. Others — particularly those with more chronic or degenerative conditions — may benefit from 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart. Dr. Vic will discuss a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.
PRP works by stimulating a healing response, which takes time. Many patients begin to notice improvement within 4–6 weeks, with continued progress over the following months as tissue repair progresses. Individual timelines vary depending on the condition.
Many extended health plans in BC cover naturopathic visits, but PRP injection fees may not be fully covered under all plans. Health Spending Accounts (HSA) can often be used. Our front desk can provide specific fee details when you call to book.
No referral is needed. You can book directly by calling (604) 541-8811. If you have existing imaging (X-rays, MRI), bring it to your consultation — it helps Dr. Vic assess your condition more thoroughly.
All three are regenerative injection therapies, but they work differently. PRP uses your own concentrated platelets and growth factors. Prolotherapy uses a dextrose solution to trigger a localized healing response. Prolozone combines ozone gas with nutrients to support tissue repair. Dr. Vic is experienced in all three and will recommend the approach best suited to your specific condition.
Results vary from person to person and depend on the nature and severity of the condition being treated. Dr. Vic will be straightforward with you about what PRP can and can't do for your specific situation — no vague promises. A consultation is the best way to discuss realistic expectations.
A consultation is just a conversation — no commitment, no pressure. Call today to find out if PRP may be right for your condition. Dr. Vic will give you an honest assessment and a clear recommendation.
