The science

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentration of your own blood's growth factors — the natural proteins that your body uses to heal tissue, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cell repair.

In PRP therapy, a small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. This rich plasma is then precisely injected into the affected joint, where it accelerates the body's own healing response.

Because PRP uses your own biological material, the risk of rejection or allergic reaction is virtually zero — making it one of the safest regenerative therapies available today.

1
Blood draw
A small amount of your blood (15–30ml) is drawn — similar to a routine blood test.
2
Centrifuge separation
The sample is spun at high speed to isolate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells.
3
Precision injection
Our doctor injects the concentrated PRP directly into the affected joint under careful guidance for accuracy.
4
Natural regeneration begins
Growth factors activate over the following weeks, stimulating cartilage repair, reducing inflammation, and restoring mobility.
Who it helps

Conditions Treated

Knee Osteoarthritis
Degenerative wear of knee cartilage causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. PRP slows progression and restores comfort.
Hip Joint Pain
Chronic hip discomfort from labral tears, bursitis, or early arthritis — PRP promotes tissue healing in the hip capsule.
Shoulder Injuries
Rotator cuff tears, tendinopathy, and shoulder impingement respond well to PRP's targeted growth factor delivery.
Spine & Back Pain
Facet joint arthritis and degenerative disc conditions can benefit from targeted PRP injections to reduce nerve-driven pain.
Tennis & Golfer's Elbow
Chronic tendon pain at the elbow from overuse injury — PRP accelerates repair of the damaged tendon fibres.
Ankle & Foot Pain
Plantar fasciitis, ankle ligament injuries, and Achilles tendinopathy — all well-documented indications for PRP therapy.

Common questions

Frequently Asked

Is PRP painful?
The blood draw is the same as any routine test. The injection site may be numbed with local anaesthetic beforehand, so most patients report only mild pressure during the procedure. Some soreness in the joint for 2–5 days after is normal and expected.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients see significant improvement after 1–3 sessions. Your doctor will assess your response and recommend a personalised protocol — typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
When will I feel a difference?
PRP works progressively. Some patients notice improvement within 2–4 weeks, while others see the full benefit at 8–12 weeks as new tissue forms and inflammation resolves. Results continue improving for up to 6 months.
Am I a good candidate for PRP?
PRP is most effective for mild to moderate joint degeneration, tendon injuries, and sports-related conditions. Patients with severe end-stage arthritis may need additional options. A consultation with our doctor is the best way to assess your suitability.
Can I return to work the same day?
Yes — most patients return to desk work or light activity the same day. Strenuous activity and heavy loading of the treated joint should be avoided for 1–2 weeks to allow the healing response to activate properly.
Is PRP covered by insurance?
Coverage varies between insurers. Our team can provide you with the relevant documentation and procedure codes to submit a claim to your insurance provider. Please enquire at the time of booking.
