Possible Side Effects and Risks
While PRP Therapy uses your body’s own blood, there are potential risks, including:
- Temporary swelling or bruising at the injection site
- Mild pain or discomfort
- Rarely, infection or allergic reaction
Your healthcare provider will discuss these risks with you and determine if PRP Therapy is appropriate for your condition.

Platelet Rich Plasma
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a treatment that uses your body’s own blood to promote healing in injured or painful areas. A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the healing platelets, and then re-injected into the affected area. This process aims to support your body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Medical Acupuncture vs Electro-Acupuncture
PRP Therapy may be considered for:
- Joint pain (e.g., knees, shoulders, elbows)
- Tendon injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy)
- Ligament sprains
- Muscle strains
It’s important to note that individual responses to PRP Therapy can vary, and not all patients will experience the same outcomes.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
The healing platelets in your blood contain growth factors that can aid in tissue repair. By concentrating these platelets and delivering them directly to the site of injury, PRP Therapy aims to enhance your body’s natural healing processes.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Preparation: A small sample of your blood is drawn.
- Processing: The blood is processed to concentrate the healing platelets.
- Injection: The PRP is injected into the targeted area.
- Duration: The procedure typically takes about 30–60 minutes.
Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after treatment, though some may experience mild discomfort or swelling at the injection site.
