Regenerative Medicine: PRP Therapy (Private Practice)

* All PRP treatments for osteoarthritis using platelet-rich plasma are offered as self-funded (private) treatments.

What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

Platelets contain components that promote tissue repair. PRP is a concentration of these platelets, activated to a high density. PRP is rich in growth factors that support cellular regeneration and healing.

What is PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that enhances the body’s natural healing power by using the patient’s own cells. By injecting PRP—prepared from the patient’s own blood—into the affected area, the growth factors in the platelets are believed to stimulate the body’s innate healing response.

About medical examination

• Simple preparation and can be performed as a same-day outpatient procedure.
• Involves only blood collection and injection—no age limit applies.
• Minimal scarring; repeat treatments are possible.
• If the repair response is successful after a single injection, pain relief and functional improvement may be long-lasting.

• Injection into Affected Area
  PRP is dispersed across the affected region, which may cause some pain.
• In rare cases, patients may experience severe pain making it difficult to walk immediately after treatment; however, most can leave the clinic after resting for about 10 minutes.
• No immobilization or bed rest is required, but refrain from intense exercise.
• Painkillers may be prescribed, but anti-inflammatory medications are minimized to support natural healing.
