Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections

PRP injections are an advanced regenerative treatment used to support healing, reduce inflammation and help manage chronic pain. Using a concentrated solution of your body’s own platelets, PRP treatment aims to stimulate natural tissue repair and improve function over time.

What is a PRP injection?

Platelets are cells in your blood that play an important role in healing damaged tissue. PRP is made by taking a sample of a your blood, concentrating the platelets and injecting that concentrate into the injured or painful area to promote a natural healing process and reduce inflammation. As PRP uses your own blood, the treatment is considered minimally invasive with a low risk of allergic reaction.

What conditions can be treated with PRP?

PRP therapy is widely used in pain management and regenerative medicine for conditions including:

  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Ligament sprains
  • Tendon injuries
  • Hip pain
  • Chronic joint pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Back and musculoskeletal pain
  • Hair loss

What are the benefits of PRP treatment?

If chronic pain, joint stiffness or recurring injuries are affecting your daily life, PRP therapy may offer an effective non-surgical solution. Many patients choose PRP injections to help them return to work, exercise and improve their ability to perform everyday activities with greater comfort and confidence.

PRP treatment may help to:

  • Reduce ongoing pain and inflammation
  • Support faster, natural tissue healing
  • Improve mobility, strength and joint function
  • Delay or potentially avoid surgery
  • Treat chronic injuries without repeated steroid injections
  • Accelerate recovery from sports and activity-related injuries
  • Enhance overall quality of life and physical performance

Because PRP uses your body’s own healing properties, it is a popular option for patients looking for a more regenerative approach to pain management and injury recovery.

Our experienced clinicians provide personalised treatment plans designed around your symptoms, lifestyle and recovery goals — helping you get back to doing the things you enjoy as quickly and safely as possible.

PRP vs Steroid Injections: What’s the Difference?

PRP Injections

PRP therapy uses a concentrated sample of your own platelets to support the body’s natural healing process. Rather than simply masking pain, PRP aims to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation over time. The aim of PRP treatment is to provide longer-term improvement for some conditions and avoid repeated steriod exposure.

Steriod Injections

Steroid injections work by rapidly reducing inflammation within a joint or soft tissue area. They can provide fast pain relief, particularly during acute flare-ups, and are helpful for short-term symptom control.
