JS Hospitals is proud to offer cutting-edge regenerative therapy techniques, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections, to accelerate healing and alleviate pain. PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes your body’s natural healing abilities to repair damaged tissues and promote regeneration. It is particularly effective for orthopedic conditions, joint pain, and sports injuries.

What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves using a concentrated solution of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that play a vital role in tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

How it Works

1. Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
2. Centrifugation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate platelets and plasma from other components.
3. Injection: The PRP solution is injected directly into the affected area, such as joints, tendons, or muscles, to accelerate healing.

Conditions Treated with PRP Therapy

PRP injections are used to treat a variety of orthopedic conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis: Reduces pain and inflammation in joints like knees, hips, and shoulders.
• Tendon Injuries: Effective for treating conditions like tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, and rotator cuff injuries.
• Sports Injuries: Helps in the recovery of ligament and muscle injuries.
• Cartilage Repair: Promotes regeneration in cases of cartilage damage.
• Back Pain: Addresses degenerative disc issues and sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Benefits of PRP Injections

• Natural Healing: Uses the body’s own cells to repair damaged tissue.
• Minimally Invasive: Avoids the need for surgery or prolonged downtime.
• Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Provides long-lasting relief for chronic pain conditions.
• Accelerates Recovery: Speeds up healing in both acute and chronic injuries.
• Safe and Low Risk: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, there is minimal risk of adverse reactions.

Procedure Overview

1. Consultation: Our specialists evaluate your condition to determine if PRP therapy is suitable.
2. Preparation: Blood is drawn, typically from the arm, and processed to prepare the PRP solution.
3. Injection: The PRP is injected into the targeted area using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for precision.
4. Post-Procedure Care: Patients can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure, with improvement often seen within weeks.

PRP for Sports and Joint Health

PRP therapy has gained significant attention in the treatment of sports injuries and joint conditions:

• Sports Injuries: Helps athletes recover faster and return to peak performance.
• Joint Preservation: Delays or eliminates the need for joint replacement surgeries in early-stage osteoarthritis.
