Medical Management (PRP Injection)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine technique that utilizes a patient's own blood to promote healing. During the procedure, a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn, and it is then processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the injured or affected area to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.

PRP therapy is commonly used for conditions like:

  • Tendon injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
  • Ligament injuries
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Muscle injuries
  • Some chronic pain conditions

While PRP injections are generally considered safe, their effectiveness can vary depending on the condition being treated and individual patient factors. Not all medical insurances cover PRP therapy, and it's essential for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits with their healthcare providers before proceeding with the treatment.
