PRP treatment

PRP injections can help in the treatment of cartilage wear, arthrosis, tendon inflammation and sports injuries. PRP treatment can be used for many musculoskeletal problems, including joint cartilage wear and arthrosis of the knee, shoulder, hip and small joints, as well as tendon inflammation, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, chronic Achilles tendon inflammation, chronic heel pain and plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder and various sports-related tendon and muscle injuries.

The treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis in a clinic setting, so no hospital stay is needed. The whole process takes no more than an hour, including blood sampling, processing the blood with 5 minutes of centrifugation, re-injection and administration. A single session may be sufficient.

The risk of PRP treatment is minimal, as it uses the patient’s own blood in a fully closed system with special single-use, sterile and certified medical devices. The minimal risk comes mainly from the needle punctures, which are easy to manage.

Important: only one joint can be treated per session.
