Serving Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, Ventura, Ojai, and all of the Central Coast
PRP Therapy for Beverly Hills, CA Patients
Purety Family Medical Clinic is approximately 90 minutes northwest of Beverly Hills via the 101. Because every PRP injection is delivered under real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound guidance, the procedure is performed in-office at our Santa Barbara clinic — so Beverly Hills patients travel to us for the injection itself.
Worth the drive for Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills, and Bel-Air patients seeking root-cause integrative care — treating knee and joint pain, arthritis, and tendon or ligament injuries.
PRP Injection Cost & Insurance in Santa Barbara
How much do PRP injections cost without insurance in Santa Barbara?
PRP injections at Purety Clinic are a self-pay, fee-for-service treatment. Your treatment plan and pricing are discussed at consultation after reviewing the affected joint or tendon, your imaging, and whether more than one session is recommended. Call (805) 500-8300 for current PRP pricing. Ask what your quote includes, such as consultation, ultrasound guidance, the injection, and follow-up.
Does insurance cover PRP injections?
PRP injections for joint pain, arthritis, and tendon injuries are generally not covered by insurance. Plan for self-pay treatment rather than assuming reimbursement. Discuss your treatment plan and fees with the clinic before scheduling a procedure.
This information concerns musculoskeletal PRP made from your own blood, which is distinct from stem cell products or prolotherapy. Learn about PRP for knee pain, rotator cuff injuries, and tennis elbow. Suitability and results vary by condition and patient.

Dr. Jonathan Birch NMD, RMSK is one of the few practitioners in the Santa Barbara area who is board-registered in Musculoskeletal Sonography — meaning every PRP and regenerative injection is performed under real-time ultrasound imaging, not anatomical guesswork.
This matters because injection accuracy is one of the strongest predictors of outcome. Studies show that even experienced clinicians miss their target 30–50% of the time without imaging guidance. With ultrasound, every injection is confirmed visually before the needle advances.
If you've tried PRP elsewhere without success, the delivery may have been the problem — not the therapy.
Treatments We Offer
Every treatment is tailored to your imaging, history, and health goals
PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) concentrates your own platelets 5–7× above baseline and delivers a potent dose of growth factors directly to injured tissue under ultrasound guidance.
Conditions Treated:
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Rotator cuff tears
- Tennis & golfer's elbow
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Hip bursitis & labral tears
- Shoulder impingement
- Patellar tendinopathy
Stem Cell & Biologic Injections
Wharton's Jelly, exosomes, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) provide a scaffold of growth factors, cytokines, and regenerative signals. Recommended for more advanced joint degeneration where PRP alone may be insufficient.
Conditions Treated:
- Moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis
- Meniscus tears
- Hip degeneration
- Avascular necrosis
- Failed joint replacement
- Degenerative disc disease
- Cartilage defects
- Complex ligament injuries
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy uses dextrose-based injections at selected ligament and tendon attachment points. It is considered for some pain and instability concerns after an examination; evidence and response vary by condition.
Unlike PRP, prolotherapy does not use concentrated platelets. Prolozone uses ozone and is a different procedure. Discuss alternatives such as rehabilitation, the proposed injection sites, possible soreness, bleeding or infection, and how progress would be assessed before agreeing to a course.
Compare Prolozone injectionsConditions Treated:
- Chronic low back pain
- Sacroiliac joint instability
- Ligament laxity
- Ankle instability
- Whiplash / cervical instability
- Temporomandibular (TMJ)
- Hypermobility syndromes
- Recurrent sprains
Questions About Neural Therapy?
Our service directory lists neural therapy, an approach using local-anesthetic injections for selected pain concerns. It is distinct from platelet-rich plasma, dextrose prolotherapy, and Prolozone. Evidence depends on the condition and technique; it should not be presented as a general treatment for chronic illness.
Ask the clinic to confirm current availability and whether an evaluation is appropriate for your concern. Bring details of your pain, prior treatments, medications, and any local-anesthetic allergies. A clinician should explain alternatives, injection-specific risks, and costs before treatment is considered.
Ask about a neural therapy evaluationPlanning Your Injection Consultation in Santa Barbara
Start with an individual evaluation
PRP and prolotherapy are not interchangeable. Dr. Birch reviews the affected area, examination findings, prior care, and available imaging to discuss whether an injection or another approach is appropriate. Benefits are not guaranteed, and a consultation does not commit you to treatment.
Before your appointment
Have your medication and supplement list, relevant MRI or X-ray reports, and a summary of previous treatments ready. Ask how to send records, how long to allow for evaluation, and whether treatment would require a separate visit. Do not stop prescribed medicines without instructions from your treating clinician.
Ask for a current, itemized quote
PRP pricing information appears above. For prolotherapy or other injections, request a separate quote covering the evaluation, imaging or guidance, each proposed procedure, and follow-up. The number of sites and visits is individualized; do not assume the same fee applies to every injection type.
An inquiry or discovery call is a first conversation, not a medical consultation or confirmation that treatment is appropriate. Confirm consultation fees and scheduling with the office before booking.
What to Expect
Most procedures take under an hour and are performed at our Santa Barbara clinic
Consultation & Imaging Review
Dr. Birch reviews your MRI or X-rays, examines the area under ultrasound, and confirms your candidacy for regenerative treatment.
Personalized Protocol
You receive a tailored plan — whether that's a single PRP injection, a series of prolotherapy sessions, or a combination with biologics.
Ultrasound-Guided Treatment
Every injection is performed under real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound, with the needle position confirmed before delivery.
Recovery & Follow-up
Expect mild soreness for 3–7 days. Avoid NSAIDs for 4 weeks. Follow-up at 4–6 weeks to assess progress and plan next steps.
Patient Results
Real patients. Real relief. From Santa Barbara and the Central Coast.
"I was told I needed a knee replacement. After two PRP sessions with Dr. Birch I'm back to hiking. The ultrasound guidance made a real difference — I'd had PRP done elsewhere before with no result."
"Rotator cuff tear, no surgery needed. Dr. Birch walked me through every step and I could see the needle go exactly where it needed to on the ultrasound screen. Three months later I'm back to tennis."
"Chronic low back instability for six years. I'd tried everything. Dr. Birch's prolotherapy series was the first thing that gave me lasting stability, not just temporary relief."
