Platelet Rich Plasma (known as PRP) is a revolutionary treatment used to treat many conditions ranging from osteoarthritis to rotator cuff tears and much more.
PRP is made from spinning your blood and extracting the platelet rich plasma and injecting this into the site of concern.
So you've decided to get a PRP injection. There are a few very important things you need to be aware of prior to the procedure. I break down my pre-procedure instructions in this video.
Conditions treated by PRP:
- Osteoarthritis of all joints in the body (commonly performed on hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist, thumb)
- Tendinosis or chronic tendinopathy
- Rotator cuff tear in the shoulder
- Meniscus tears in knees
- Labral tears in hips and shoulder
- Tennis Elbow, Golfers Elbow
- Patellar tendinopathy/jumpers knee
- Achilles tendinopathy, partial Achilles tendon tear
- Plantar fasciitis, plantar fascia tear
- TFCC or scapholunate tears of the wrist
- Any much more
