Thousand Oaks Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Treatment for Foot & Ankle Injuries in Santa Clarita
Platelets are a component in the blood that aid in the clotting and healing process. Extracting platelet rich plasma (PRP) from one’s own blood and injecting it into an injured area of the body can stimulate the healing process and reduce swelling and inflammation. PRP therapy has become a popular treatment for athletes with foot injuries who need to recover as quickly as possible so they can resume their usual workout routine.
At Performance Foot and Ankle, we provide platelet rich plasma for all patients who can benefit from it, athletes and otherwise. Our knowledgeable and experienced podiatrists can answer any of your questions about the treatment and help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Call (805) 380-3152 today to learn more about PRP therapy at Performance Foot and Ankle in Thousand Oaks.
How Does PRP Work?
Patients who participate in PRP therapy have platelets extracted from their own blood. This means that there is no risk of having an adverse reaction to the injection. First, blood is extracted from a blood-abundant area of the body. The blood is then put in a centrifuge device which separates out a concentrated solution of PRP. The PRP is then injected into the designated area so that the platelets can get to work and begin the healing process.
In podiatry, PRP is typically used to treat the following:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Ankle sprains and strains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendinitis
- Cartilage tears
- Sports injuries
PRP therapy may provide some relief within the first few days of treatment, but it usually takes a few months to experience the full healing benefits. One of the primary benefits of PRP therapy is that it promotes long-term healing that can help the damaged area grow stronger and more resilient.

"Can't thank her enough"
Dr. Gifford was very knowledgeable with explaining the cause of my heel pain and gave me a painless injection. She was very friendly and took her time with answering all my questions. Can't thank her enough because I'm back to my normal workout routine without any pain!- Ryan G. -
"They do excellent work and care about their patients."
Going to performance foot and ankle. It's like going to your salon or Barber. Once you find a good stylus, you won't leave them. Doctor Patel and his staff are like that. My dad has been going to them for years he's 102 years old. They do excellent work and care about their patients.- Verby N. -
"I highly recommend this place!"
The process was smooth and efficient from the start. After filling out "contact us" form on their website, I received a call within 30 minutes to set up my appointment. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. When I arrived, I handed them the printed form, and I was seen almost immediately. Dr. Patel was fantastic—he took the time to listen to all my concerns, identified the cause of my issue, and provided a clear solution. He even showed me at-home remedies and offered tips on how to prevent the problem in the future, without making me feel pressured to buy any treatment products. He went above and beyond in his care. Overall, a great experience!- Emma -
"This is what medical care should be!"
Excellent customer service, and thorough care. Dr. Patel was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and skilled (my kind of doc). The office was clean, and well-run. Billing was smooth as well without any of the hiccups you get at other offices. This is what medical care should be!- Ashutosh S. -
"I highly recommend!"
Dr. Patel and his staff were absolutely incredible! I was having issues with my foot for about 5 years and I had been to numerous doctors without success. Then I met Dr. Patel and I’m happy to report that my issue is now solved! So thankful and could not be happier. Everyone here is super nice, down to earth and they genuinely care about you, the patient, which was super important to me. I was very impressed with how they go about their business and I highly recommend!- Matthew D. -
"Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable."
Dr. Gifford and her team are amazing and I recommend Dr. Gifford without hesitation. She provided me with multiple options to address Achilles issues. I ultimately needed surgery and the results have allowed me to walk without pain and return to activities I had been missing. My incision site is imperceptible. Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable.- Carrie D.
