How soon can I exercise after PRP?

Gentle movement starts immediately. Walking is encouraged. Higher impact activities or heavy lifting resume after physio clearance, typically at 2-4 weeks depending on the treated area.

How long do PRP results last?

Results typically last 12-18 months. Many patients experience longer relief with proper rehabilitation. Maintenance injections can be scheduled annually to preserve joint health.

How many PRP injections will I need?

Most patients see significant improvement after 1-3 injections spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Severity of the condition determines the exact protocol. Dr Abbas will create your personalized treatment plan.

Is PRP better than cortisone injections?

PRP addresses the root cause by regenerating tissue, while cortisone only reduces inflammation temporarily. PRP has no steroid side effects and provides longer-lasting results. Many patients transition from cortisone to PRP for sustainable relief.

Can PRP help avoid knee replacement surgery?

In many cases, yes. PRP can regenerate cartilage and reduce inflammation enough to delay or avoid surgery. Dr Abbas will assess your imaging and advise whether you're a suitable candidate.

Is PRP covered by insurance?

Some private health insurance policies cover PRP therapy. We provide itemized invoices for reimbursement claims. Check with your provider about regenerative medicine coverage.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes, we often combine PRP with shockwave therapy, physiotherapy, or cellular injections (BMAC, adipose) for layered results. Combination protocols often achieve faster and more complete recovery.

Q: Does PRP injection hurt?

We use local anaesthetic, vibration therapy, and nitrous oxide if needed. Most patients feel only mild pressure during the ultrasound-guided injection. The blood draw is like a routine test.

Why PRP Works

Platelets carry the growth factors that repair tissue after injury. We draw a small amount of blood, process it in a dual-spin centrifuge, and inject the golden layer under ultrasound into the exact fibres that hurt. Growth factors trigger collagen synthesis, recruit stem cells, and increase blood flow so healing accelerates naturally.

Autologous (your own blood) – zero rejection risk

Dual-spin centrifuge reaches 6–8x platelet concentration for powerful healing

Targets osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, ligament sprains, and post-surgery healing
