FAQs

What is Musculoskeletal Plasma Therapy (PRP)?

Musculoskeletal Plasma Therapy utilises a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints by using the body’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems. It’s a regenerative treatment that has been in use for decades and continues to be a part of comprehensive approaches to musculoskeletal care.

What can be treated with PRP?

PRP is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

Chronic tendon pain: Such as achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, hip and shoulder tendon pain, and plantar fasciitis

Osteoarthritis: Effective for hip, knee, or small joint arthritis

Ligament, Tendon, and Muscle Injuries: PRP can promote healing in these areas

Women's Health (‘O spot’ and ‘G spot’)

What does the treatment entail?

Plasma is collected into a sterile syringe.
The skin is prepared using an antiseptic agent.
The Plasma filled syringe is then guided into the joint.
Several joints or injured tissues can be injected in one visit.
We suggest 3 treatments 1-4 weeks apart then every few months to a year if required.

Is it painful?

This treatment is generally not considered painful, but some discomfort may be experienced depending on the individual’s pain threshold and the area being treated. A local anesthetic or a numbing cream may be used to minimise discomfort during the procedure. It’s common to feel some soreness at the treated site for a short period after the injections, which is a normal part of the healing process.

Who should not have this treatment?
