Persistent joint or tendon pain can affect everyday movement, exercise and recovery.
For selected patients Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy offers a personalised, non-surgical treatment option using a preparation obtained from their own blood.
PRP is intended to support the body’s natural healing response.
During treatment, a small blood sample is taken from a vein and processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. The prepared plasma is then injected into the affected joint or soft tissue.
Following an individual orthopaedic assessment, PRP may be considered for:
• Osteoarthritis and joint pain
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff problems
• Achilles and other persistent tendon conditions
• Selected muscle and sports injuries
Treatment recommendations depend on the diagnosis, previous treatment and the condition of the affected tissue.
