PRP injections

Platelet-rich plasma uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate healing in tendon injuries that have stopped responding to conservative care. It is an option before surgery rather than instead of a proper diagnosis.

What's Involved

Candidacy assessment — Ultrasound imaging to confirm the tendon problem PRP can help.
Preparation — Your own blood drawn and concentrated in the office.
Guided injection — Placement into the target tissue under ultrasound guidance.

When to Come In

Chronic plantar fasciitis — Heel pain persisting beyond several months of treatment.
Achilles tendinopathy — Degenerative tendon change that has not responded to loading programmes.
Wanting to avoid surgery — A reasonable step to try before an operation is scheduled.
