 Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for the knee, shoulder, and hand., a minimally invasive and non-surgical procedure that uses a patient’s own concentrated blood platelets to help treat knee osteoarthritis, cartilage injuries, and ligament sprains.

During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. This PRP solution is then injected into the knee joint to help stimulate natural healing, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint function.
