Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative orthobiologic treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood to accelerate recovery from injuries and chronic joint conditions. PRP is created by drawing a small sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate platelets, and then re-injecting the concentrated platelets into the affected area.
Platelets are rich in growth factors and proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair, collagen formation, and inflammation control. By delivering a high concentration of these natural healing elements directly into the injured site, PRP stimulates the body’s own repair mechanisms, reducing pain and improving function.

Most patients tolerate it well. A local anesthetic may be used to reduce discomfort. Mild soreness may occur afterward.
Typically, 2–3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart give the best results.
Results can last 12–18 months depending on lifestyle and severity of condition.
