Platelet Rich Plasma Injection - Ultrasound Guided


An ultrasound guided injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) can provide effective pain relief for patients suffering from joint arthritis, tendon, muscle or ligament injuries.

Precise needle placement using the ultrasound by an experienced, skilled doctor ensures the needle accurately targets the intended location within the joint, tendon, muscle or ligament. This improves the overall effectiveness of the injection and reduces the risk of complications.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections involve using a concentrated sample of a patient's own blood platelets to help promote healing and reduce inflammation in the joint and tendons.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have been explored as a treatment option for various muscle, tendon, and joint problems.

Some conditions where PRP may be considered include:
  1. Tendon Injuries: PRP can be used for conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff tears, patellar tendinitis, tennis and golfers elbow
  2. Muscle Injuries: Strains or tears in muscles may benefit from PRP injections to aid in the healing process
  3. Joint Arthritis: PRP injections might be considered for joint arthritis, especially osteoarthritis of the knee joint to promote repair and reduce symptoms
  4. Ligament Injuries: PRP injections have been investigated for certain ligament injuries, such as medial and lateral collateral ligament tears

It's important to note that research on PRP is still evolving, and its effectiveness can vary among individuals and conditions.

The process of preforming a PRP injection includes:
  1. Blood Draw: A small amount is taken from the arm of the patient
  2. Centrifugation: The blood is then spun rapidly in a centrifuge, separating it into its components. The platelet-rich plasma is removed, which contains a higher concentration of platelets than normal blood
  3. Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected directly into the affected joint, tendon or ligament
  4. Healing Properties: Platelets contain growth factors that can stimulate regrowth of tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote healing

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is derived from patients own blood.  It contains a high concentration of platelets.  These are rich in growth factors and protein needed for tissue repair and regeneration.  When injected into a joint, they can help in healing damaged tissue, reducing inflammation and overall joint function.

Evidence shows that patients usually require 3 PRP injections every 1-2 weeks to get maximum benefits.  If successful, improvements in pain can take 4-6 weeks to take effect and benefits can last up to 12 months.
