Platelet Rich Plasma(PRP) Injections

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative medicine treatment used to support healing in orthopedic injuries affecting tendons, ligaments, muscles, cartilage, and joints. PRP therapy is commonly used for sports injuries, tendonitis, ligament sprains, arthritis-related pain(opens in a new tab), and chronic orthopedic conditions that may benefit from non-surgical treatment approaches.

PRP is created using a sample of your own blood, which is processed and injected into the injured area to help stimulate the body’s natural healing response and reduce inflammation.
