What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small sample of your own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting this concentrate into the injured or degenerated area. Platelets contain growth factors that can support the body’s natural tissue repair process.

Conditions Treated with PRP

• Early-stage knee osteoarthritis
• Tennis Elbow
• Golfer’s Elbow
• Tendon injuries and chronic tendinopathy
• Ligament sprains
• Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain

What to Expect During Treatment

The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis. A small blood sample is drawn and processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the treatment area under sterile conditions, often guided by ultrasound for precision. Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two, with a personalized recovery and physiotherapy plan.
