At Palmshade Clinic, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – an advanced, regenerative treatment designed to help patients with joint pain, early arthritis, sports injuries, and tendon problems. PRP harnesses the body’s natural healing potential to repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation, improving both pain relief and mobility.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentrated solution prepared from your own blood.
- A small amount of your blood is drawn
- Platelets (rich in growth factors) are separated using a centrifuge
- This concentrated plasma is injected into the affected joint or tendon under sterile conditions
Since PRP uses your own blood, the therapy is safe, natural, and minimally invasive
Who Performs the Procedure?
At Palmshade, PRP therapy is performed only by a qualified Orthopedician, after a thorough screening and assessment.
- We evaluate your joint health, medical history, and stage of disease
- Only patients who are likely to benefit are recommended for the procedure
- The injection is done under sterile precautions, sometimes guided by ultrasound
Advantages of PRP Therapy
- Natural & Safe – Uses your own blood, no synthetic chemicals
- Promotes Healing – Growth factors stimulate repair of cartilage, tendons & ligaments
- Reduces Pain & Inflammation – Especially useful in early arthritis and chronic joint pain
- Delays Surgery – May postpone the need for joint replacement in early cases
- Faster Recovery – Helps athletes & active individuals return to activities sooner
When is PRP Most Beneficial?
PRP is especially useful when:
- Arthritis is in the early to moderate stages (before severe cartilage loss)
- In cases of sports injuries – ligament sprains, tendonitis, meniscus injuries
- For chronic joint pain not improving with physiotherapy or medications
- In patients not ready for or wanting to delay surgery
- As part of a comprehensive orthopedic and physiotherapy care plan
PRP is less effective in advanced arthritis (when joint cartilage is completely worn out) – in such cases, other orthopedic options are advised.
Safety & Recovery
PRP is especially useful when:
- Minimal discomfort during injection
- Done in an outpatient/daycare setting – no hospitalization required
- Patients usually resume light activities the same day
- Some may require 2–3 sessions spaced weeks apart, depending on condition
