Mild discomfort may be felt during the injection. Some patients experience temporary pain or swelling at the injection site.
PRP injections are effective for reducing pain and promoting healing, particularly when used alongside other treatments like physiotherapy. The effects vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response to treatment.
Generally, up to 3 injections are recommended, but the exact number depends on your condition and response.
It's best to avoid strenuous activities for a few days following the injection.
You can typically resume light activities the day after the injection, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for a few days.
Typically, 1–3 injections are given, spaced several weeks apart, depending on your response to treatment.
Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, but it can take up to 3 months to see the full effect.
Side effects are usually mild and may include pain or swelling at the injection site.
PRP may help delay or avoid surgery for some conditions, particularly in the early stages of degeneration or injury.
Relief can last several months to a year, but the duration varies based on the condition and response to treatment.
