Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) joint infiltration is a regenerative therapy that involves injecting a concentrated form of the patient’s own platelets into a joint to promote healing and reduce pain. It is commonly used for treating musculoskeletal conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and ligament damage.
Benefits of PRP Joint Infiltration
Pain Relief
PRP helps reduce joint pain by decreasing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
Improved Joint Function
Patients often experience better mobility and joint function after treatment.
Tissue Regeneration
Growth factors in PRP stimulate healing and regeneration of cartilage and soft tissues.
Reduced Need for Surgery
PRP may delay or eliminate the need for invasive procedures like joint replacement.
Minimally Invasive
The procedure is quick, performed in an outpatient setting, and has minimal downtime.
Natural Healing
Since PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of rejection or allergic reactions is minimal.
