Looking for a non-surgical solution for joint pain? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections might be right for you.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties without medications or surgery.
PRP involves injecting concentrated platelets and plasma from your own blood into the injured area. Platelets and plasma are rich in growth factors and proteins that help stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support collagen production.
Unlike corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections, PRP uses your own biology to promote healing from within.
What to expect during your treatment
- A sample of your blood is drawn.
- The sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets-rich plasma concentrate.
- Using ultrasound guidance, the PRP is precisely injected into the injured area to promote healing.
Our clinic uses top-of-the-line technology, which permits each PRP injection to be entirely personal, and customizable to the needs of the patient.
Conditions commonly treated with PRP
1. Tendon Injuries including:
- Elbow Epicondylitis (sometimes referred to as “tennis elbow”, or “golfers’ elbow”)
- Tendinopathy conditions including patellar tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy and Achillies tendinopathy
2. Ligament Sprains
- Mild to moderate knee ligament sprains such as: MCL, ACL and PCL injuries.
- Ankle ligament sprains such as ATFL
3. Muscle Injuries
- Such as hamstring strains and quad strains
4. Joint Pain or Arthritis
- Mild to moderate osteoarthritis (especially in knees or hips), to reduce pain and inflammation.
5. Post-surgical Healing
- Sometimes used after surgery to enhance healing (e.g., rotator cuff repair)
