PRP Therapy for Joint Pain Relief
Q1: What is PRP therapy for joint pain?
A: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body’s own platelets to promote healing in injured or painful joints. It’s a natural, non-surgical treatment for arthritis, tendonitis, and ligament injuries.
Q2: How does PRP therapy work?
A: In PRP therapy, your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and injected into the affected joint. These platelets release growth factors that reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
Q3: What conditions can PRP treat?
A: PRP is effective for knee arthritis, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, hip pain, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and early-stage osteoarthritis.
Q4: Is PRP therapy available in Ghatkopar, Mumbai?
A: Yes, Dr. Mayur Rabhadiya provides advanced PRP therapy for joint pain relief at Advanced Joint Care Center in Ghatkopar East.
Q5: How many PRP sessions are needed?
A: Most patients require 1 to 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the severity of the condition and response to treatment.
Q6: Is PRP therapy painful?
A: The procedure involves minimal discomfort. A local anesthetic may be used, and any post-injection soreness usually resolves in 1–2 days.
Q7: How soon will I feel relief after PRP therapy?
A: Most patients start noticing improvements within 2–6 weeks, with continued healing over several months.
Q8: Are there any side effects of PRP therapy?
A: Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is low. Minor swelling or soreness may occur but is temporary.
Q9: Can PRP delay the need for joint replacement?
A: Yes, PRP can slow the progression of joint damage, reduce pain, and improve mobility — potentially delaying or avoiding surgery.
