PRP joint and soft tissue injection uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood to support treatment of selected joint, tendon and soft tissue conditions. Suitability depends on the underlying diagnosis, symptoms and individual medical assessment. What is PRP? Platelet-rich plasma is prepared by processing a small sample of your own blood to concentrate platelets in the plasma. How does PRP injection work? The prepared PRP is injected into a specific joint or soft tissue area following clinical assessment. Joint pain and osteoarthritis: PRP may be considered for selected patients with conditions such as knee osteoarthritis and other joint-related problems. Sports and soft tissue injuries: Treatment may be considered for certain tendon and soft tissue conditions, including tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis. PRP treatment process: Assessment, blood collection, PRP preparation and targeted injection form the main stages of treatment. Recovery and results: Temporary soreness can occur after injection, while the response and timescale for improvement vary between patients. Who may be suitable? A medical assessment is important to determine whether PRP is appropriate and whether another treatment option may be more suitable. Choosing a doctor: Appropriate diagnosis, medical experience, patient safety, realistic expectations and follow-up are important when considering PRP treatment. PRP is not suitable for every condition or patient, so treatment should be based on an individual clinical assessment.
