Welcome for International Patients

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. Injected into the target area under clinical guidance, PRP aims to stimulate the body’s natural repair response, supporting recovery in tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.

Conditions PRP Can Help

  • Knee: early osteoarthritis, patellar tendinopathy, post-injury pain
  • Shoulder: rotator cuff tendinopathy/partial tears, impingement
  • Elbow & Wrist: tennis/golfer’s elbow, De Quervain’s, chronic tendinopathy
  • Ankle & Foot: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, chronic sprains
  • Other: muscle strains, post-procedure healing support (case-by-case)
Final candidacy is determined after orthopedic assessment; not every condition requires PRP.
