PRP Training for Chiropractors

The course covers PRP applications across four major areas: aesthetics (facial rejuvenation, microneedling with PRP, combination therapies with dermal fillers), pain management (chronic tendinopathies, ligament sprains and tears, bursa injections, orofacial pain), hair restoration (male and female pattern baldness using PRP with biologics like Bio-D and A-Cell), and sexual dysfunction (intracavernous injections for males and intra-vaginal injections for females).

Licensed healthcare professionals including MDs, DOs, DMDs, DDS, NPs, PAs, and RNs are eligible to attend and perform PRP treatments. Unlicensed professionals may participate for observational learning through demonstrations. Completion of pre-course materials and online didactic modules is required before attending the live workshop.

The course covers both single-spin and dual-spin PRP preparation methods using FDA-approved systems. You will learn blood draw technique, centrifuge settings, platelet concentration optimization, and clinical validity comparisons between preparation methods to determine the best approach for each clinical application.

Yes. The course includes supervised hands-on training on live patients under the guidance of board-certified physician experts. You will perform PRP preparation and injection procedures during the live workshop component, building the clinical confidence needed to integrate PRP services into your practice immediately.

The curriculum covers PRP combined with microneedling and MicroRoller techniques for enhanced skin rejuvenation, PRP with dermal fillers for facial volume restoration, and the use of biologics including Bio-D and A-Cell with PRP for hair restoration. You will also learn conjunctive prescription and combination therapy strategies across all clinical applications.

The PRP training provides 6.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. The course is fully CME-accredited and meets professional development requirements that may fulfill licensing board continuing education mandates. Participants receive Empire Medical Training certification upon successful completion.

Certification involves pre-course preparation with access to the educational portal, completion of online didactic modules covering PRP basics, safety, and patient selection, passing a knowledge assessment before the live workshop, attending the one-day intensive hands-on program, and passing a final comprehensive assessment demonstrating proficiency in PRP techniques.

PRP treatments offer strong profit margins with high patient demand across multiple specialties. Revenue opportunities include aesthetic PRP facials, hair restoration treatment series, pain management injections, and sexual dysfunction treatments. The versatility of PRP across four distinct application areas means you can serve diverse patient populations while building a robust recurring revenue stream.

Chiropractic scope of practice for injection therapies varies by state and is expanding. A growing number of states authorize chiropractors with appropriate training to perform injection-based procedures including PRP. Some states require additional certification or continuing education hours specifically in injection techniques. Empire recommends verifying your state chiropractic board's current regulations and provides guidance on meeting any additional requirements during the course.

PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly to damaged tissues, accelerating the healing process that chiropractic adjustments support through improved biomechanical alignment. When used together, manual therapy restores proper joint mechanics while PRP promotes tissue-level regeneration — creating a synergistic approach that produces faster, more complete recovery than either therapy alone. Patients who receive both treatments report superior outcomes for chronic joint pain, sports injuries, and degenerative conditions.

PRP is particularly effective for conditions you likely see regularly — knee and hip osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, lateral and medial epicondylitis, plantar fasciitis, chronic low back pain with facet joint involvement, and sports-related ligament and tendon injuries. The treatment targets the inflammatory and degenerative processes underlying these conditions, providing regenerative healing that complements your manual therapy approach.

Chiropractic scope of practice regarding injection procedures varies significantly by state. A growing number of states authorize chiropractors to perform trigger point injections, joint injections, PRP treatments, and other injection-based therapies with proper training and certification. It's essential to verify your state chiropractic board's specific regulations before adding injection services. Empire's certification documents your hands-on training competency for credentialing purposes.

Interventional pain management techniques like trigger point injections, joint injections, and PRP therapy directly complement chiropractic adjustments by addressing soft tissue and joint inflammation, promoting healing, and providing pain relief that enhances the effectiveness of manual therapies. Functional medicine services expand your ability to address root causes of chronic conditions. Together, these integrated approaches deliver superior patient outcomes compared to any single modality alone.

Empire's course provides comprehensive hands-on training and certification in the specific procedures covered. Depending on your state's requirements, you may also need to complete additional hours of injection-related continuing education, obtain specific state certifications, or establish a practice protocol review with a medical director. Empire's team can help you understand the requirements in your specific state and practice context.
