How PRP Treatment Works
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment uses a sample of your own blood, which is processed to concentrate healing platelets. These platelets are then injected into the affected area using ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement.
PRP is commonly used to support healing for tendon injuries, joint pain and osteoarthritis. Depending on your condition, a series of treatments may be recommended to achieve the best possible outcome.

PRP vs PRP Matrix – What’s the Difference?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and PRP Matrix are both advanced treatments that use your body’s natural healing properties, but they differ in how the platelets are prepared and delivered.
Standard PRP involves concentrating platelets from your blood and injecting them into the affected area to support healing and reduce inflammation.
PRP Matrix takes this a step further by forming a thicker, gel-like matrix. This allows the platelets to remain at the treatment site for longer, providing a more sustained release of growth factors.
As a result, PRP Matrix may offer enhanced healing effects and is often recommended for more complex or chronic conditions.
