PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
Preparation of concentrated platelets from your own blood containing healing factors to repair tissue and reduce pain.

What can I expect following intra-articular injections?
Patients who receive intra-articular injections can expect considerable relief from joint pain and inflammation, improved joint mobility and better overall function. This targeted treatment directly addresses the underlying cause of joint discomfort, offering immediate pain relief and preventing the recurrence of symptoms.
Many patients enjoy improved mobility and quality of life for several weeks or even months. Intra-articular injection enables greater participation in daily activities and a return to a more active lifestyle.
