PRP — Platelet-rich plasma
PRP is a biological treatment prepared from your own blood: the growth factors in your platelets are used to support tissue repair. It is used for tendinopathies, mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis and some sports injuries.
Book appointmentWhen is it indicated?

A small amount of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and injected under ultrasound guidance into the area to be treated. It is an outpatient procedure and you go home the same day.
