Joint & Muscular Injections

PRP and Hyaluronic Acid

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma Injections)

PRP injections use a patient’s own blood to heal damaged tissues in the body. It is a very safe and natural treatment method that has been shown to be effective in treating a wide variety of conditions, including Osteoarthritis, tendon injuries and fibromyalgia.

How Does the PRP Process Work?

Your healthcare professional will generally take a small blood sample from your body (most likely your arm) and place it in a centrifuge.The blood sample or platelet rich plasma will be prepared and injected into the affected area.

How Many Injections Are Needed?

This will depend on the type of injury or condition you have.

Which Conditions Are Treated With PRP?

PRP is a diverse treatment option that can be used for Osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, postsurgical repair, fibromyalgia and even hair loss.

What Are The Risks?

As PRP’s are drawn from your own blood, the risks are minimal. The only risks you face are infection from the needle or injuries to the skin

Your Recovery Starts Here: 1 Injection At a Time

PRP injections require very little recovery time. Besides a bit of rest, you can expect to return to your daily activities asap whilst your injury or condition heals.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricant found between your joints. It helps your joints to move smoothly and freely without pain. If you have arthritis of the knee, this fluid is thinned and compromises your movement – causing pain.

How Does Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Viscosupplementation) Work?

Hyaluronic acid makes up for your joint’s current lack of it by injecting an appropriate amount into the affected area. It then helps to smoothen the area between your joints and helps you move without discomfort.

What is The Treatment Process Like?

After a thorough examination of your body and selecting a high quality brand of hyaluronic acid, your health professional will inject the right amount into your joints.

Your healthcare provider might use an X-ray to ensure that the administered shot has been placed in the correct area.

You will be given guidelines on how long you should rest and which activities you should avoid, such as heavy lifting and jogging.

How Many Injections Are Needed?

In general, just one injection would be enough for almost immediate relief or a great improvement of your symptoms.

Who Needs Viscosupplementation?

Anyone who has arthritis and has not experienced relief of symptoms despite trying painkillers and other methods of treatment.
