PRP For Musculoskeletal Conditions

What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative medicine treatment that uses your body’s own healing properties to treat musculoskeletal conditions. PRP is created by concentrating platelets from your blood, which contain powerful growth factors that promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation. When injected into injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, or joints, PRP can accelerate healing, reduce pain, and improve function. At Adapa and Agastya Medical Associates, we offer PRP therapy as a minimally invasive treatment option for various orthopedic conditions.

What Conditions Can PRP Treat?

PRP therapy is used for chronic tendon injuries (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis), ligament sprains and injuries, osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, and other joints, muscle strains and tears, rotator cuff injuries, plantar fasciitis, and other soft tissue injuries. It’s particularly beneficial when conservative treatments haven’t provided adequate relief.

How We Provide PRP Therapy

Comprehensive Evaluation Thorough assessment of your musculoskeletal condition, review of previous treatments and imaging studies, determination if PRP is appropriate for your condition, and discussion of expected outcomes and alternatives.

Treatment Planning Customized PRP protocol for your specific condition, number of injections needed (typically 1-3 sessions), treatment interval scheduling, and preparation instructions before your procedure.

PRP Preparation Process Blood draw from your arm (similar to routine blood test), centrifugation to concentrate platelets and growth factors, activation of platelets to release healing properties, and preparation takes approximately 30-45 minutes.

Precision Injection Local anesthesia for comfort during injection, ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance when appropriate for precise placement, injection of PRP directly into the injured tissue, and sterile technique throughout the procedure.

Post-Treatment Protocol Rest period immediately following injection, activity modification guidelines during healing, pain management recommendations (avoiding NSAIDs which may interfere with healing), and gradual return to activity schedule.

Follow-Up & Monitoring Regular assessment of pain levels and function, tracking improvement over weeks to months (full results take 3-6 months), determining need for additional PRP sessions, and integration with physical therapy when appropriate.

Rehabilitation Support Coordination with physical therapy for optimal outcomes, progressive strengthening and stretching programs, and guidance on preventing re-injury.
