Step 1 of 7 TreatmentChanges update your reusable protocol
Choose the treatment
The treatment selection changes the starting aftercare and rehabilitation language. All settings remain editable.
Diagnosis or treatmentOptional reusable description. Do not enter a patient's name or other identifier.
Medication guidance
Set the practice's medication instructions. Prescribed antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy is handled separately from OTC NSAIDs.
NSAIDs before PRPNonselective NSAID washout before treatment.Common conservative starting point Review evidence
NSAIDs after PRPPost-procedure nonselective NSAID restriction.Common conservative starting point Review evidence
Simple pain medicationPatient-facing option for discomfort.Practice preference Review evidence
Prescription medication safetyPrevents a generic handout from instructing patients to stop medically necessary therapy.Core safety language
Do not stop aspirin, clopidogrel, anticoagulants, or other prescribed medications unless specifically instructed by the clinician managing that medication or your PRP treatment team.
Before the procedure
Preparation recommendations are intentionally separated from claims that they improve PRP potency or clinical outcomes.
Alcohol before PRPElective peri-procedural abstinence interval.Evidence-informed starting point Review evidence
High-fat meal before collectionAvoid an unusually high-fat meal before the blood draw.Evidence-informed starting point Review evidence
Normal hydrationEncourage normal hydration and routine food intake unless fasting is required for another reason.Evidence-supported practical guidance
Extra hydration for an easier blood drawOptional practice guidance for patients who tend to be difficult blood draws. This is intended to support venous access, not to claim improved PRP potency.Practice-adjustable venous access guidance Review evidence
Smoking / nicotineEncourage reduction or cessation when feasible without claiming a validated PRP-specific abstinence interval.Evidence-informed guidance
First hours and days after PRP
Choose the instructions that fit the treatment and your clinical workflow.
Alcohol after PRPOptional peri-procedural practice guidance. A specific post-PRP abstinence interval has not been established.Practice preference Review evidence
Relative rest / activity modificationInitial period before gradual symptom-guided progression.Evidence-informed starting point Review evidence
When to contact the practiceIncludes worsening pain, marked swelling, fever, drainage, spreading redness, new neurologic symptoms, or another unexpected reaction.Core safety language
Activity and rehabilitation
Post-procedure care is indication-specific. These fields give the clinician control over timing while keeping the patient language clear.
Begin rehabilitation / mobilityStarting point for controlled rehabilitation or range of motion.Treatment-dependent starting point Review evidence
Begin strengtheningStarting point for progressive strengthening.Common evidence-informed practice range Review evidence
Return to higher-demand activityTime or clinical criterion for progression.Practice-adjustable guidance Review evidence
Why these remain editable: published PRP protocols vary substantially. The builder provides practical starting points without presenting one universal rehabilitation schedule as established standard of care.
