FAQs
What conditions can PRP injections treat?
PRP is commonly used for tendon injuries like tennis elbow, ligament sprains, osteoarthritis, muscle strains, and certain joint pain conditions. It’s a versatile option for promoting healing where other treatments have fallen short.
How is the PRP injection procedure performed?
We draw a small amount of your blood, concentrate the platelets using a centrifuge, and then inject the PRP into the targeted area. Ultrasound guidance is often used to ensure precise placement of the injection.
Are PRP injections painful?
You may feel some discomfort during the injection, but most patients tolerate the procedure well. Local anesthesia can be used if needed to minimize any pain.
How long does it take to see results?
Healing timelines vary, but many patients notice improvement within a few weeks. Optimal benefits usually develop over 2 to 3 months as the tissue regenerates.
Is PRP safe and are there any side effects?
Since PRP uses your own blood components, it has a low risk of allergic reaction or infection. Some mild swelling or soreness at the injection site may occur temporarily.
