PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections are a relatively new and regularly evolving way of treating damaged cartilage, tendons, muscles, joints, and ligaments. This type of treatment utilises the body’s own healing properties in your blood to reduce pain and improve function in your joint, so you can return to your normal daily activities without discomfort. London Cartilage Clinic offers specialist PRP treatments to individuals looking for the best and most effective solutions for their joint pain.

How PRP injections work biological repair support

PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood that is rich in platelets and growth factors to support tissue healing.

  • A blood sample is taken and processed in a centrifuge.
  • Platelet-rich plasma is prepared to optimise growth-factor concentration.
  • PRP is injected into the target tissue with precision guidance.

The aim is to reduce pain, improve function, and support repair in cartilage, tendon, ligament, and muscle-related conditions.
