Dr. Sneha Abhishek KiniUltrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Musculoskeletal Applications
Ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are an advanced regenerative treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, leveraging the body's natural healing mechanisms.
PRP, derived from a patient's own blood, contains concentrated platelets and growth factors, that promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
When combined with ultrasound guidance, PRP injections offer precise delivery to damaged tissues.
It improves outcomes for conditions like tendinopathies (like tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy), partial thickness tendon tears, plantar fasciitis, ligament injuries, and osteoarthritis.
These are safe procedures in experienced hands and are usually done on out-patient basis under local anaesthesia.
Key Benefits:
- Advanced regenerative treatment using body's natural healing
- Precise ultrasound-guided delivery to damaged tissues
- Concentrated platelets and growth factors from patient's own blood
- Effective for tendinopathies, tendon tears, and osteoarthritis
- Out-patient procedure under local anesthesia
