Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are a regenerative treatment option that uses a concentration of the patient’s own platelets to accelerate healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. PRP is derived from a simple blood draw, spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelets and growth factors, and then injected directly into the affected area.

PRP has been shown to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair by enhancing the body's natural healing response. It’s particularly effective for chronic tendon injuries (such as tennis elbow or patellar tendinopathy), mild to moderate arthritis, and certain ligament injuries. PRP is a great option for patients looking to avoid surgery or reduce reliance on medications.

Several clinical studies have shown favorable outcomes:

A 2019 study in The American Journal of Sports Medicine showed that PRP was more effective than corticosteroid injections for chronic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) over the long term.

PRP has also shown promise in improving pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, with better outcomes than hyaluronic acid injections in some trials.

Many professional athletes use PRP to recover faster and return to play, backed by growing evidence for its use in sports medicine.

While PRP doesn’t guarantee results for every patient, it is a low-risk, natural approach that can be part of a customized treatment plan aimed at healing the underlying issue rather than just masking the symptoms.

Steroid injections are a proven, effective way to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in joints, tendons, or around nerves. Commonly used for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or bursitis, these injections can offer fast relief and improve mobility when conservative treatments haven’t helped. While not a long-term solution for everyone, they can be an important part of a personalized care plan to manage symptoms and get you moving again.

Bursa injections target inflamed bursae—fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints—to reduce pain and swelling caused by bursitis. Often performed in the hip, shoulder, or knee, these injections deliver a powerful anti-inflammatory directly to the source of irritation. For patients with persistent pain despite rest or therapy, bursa injections can help restore function and improve comfort with minimal downtime.
