PRP Injection

A platelet-rich plasma injection concentrates growth factors from the patient's own blood and delivers them directly into an injured tendon, ligament or joint to accelerate the body's natural healing response. It is commonly used for chronic tendon injuries that have failed to improve with rest, physiotherapy and standard anti-inflammatory treatment. Because the plasma is derived from the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal. The treatment is often combined with a structured rehabilitation programme rather than used as a standalone fix.
