Joint & Tendon-Injury Injection

Joint and tendon-injury injections use Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, a regenerative treatment that uses the healing properties found within your own blood to support the recovery of injured joints, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. PRP is commonly used to help promote natural healing, improve function, and support recovery from chronic or acute musculoskeletal injuries.

How it works?

PRP therapy begins with a small blood draw. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors and proteins involved in tissue repair and regeneration. The concentrated PRP is injected into the targeted area, where it helps stimulate the body's natural healing response and supports tissue recovery.
