Joint pain, tendon injuries, and sports-related problems can significantly impact daily activities and performance. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injection is a modern regenerative treatment that uses the body’s own healing power to repair damaged tissues and reduce pain without surgery.

As a Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon in Greater Noida, Dr. Rupali Gupta offers PRP injections as a safe, evidence-based option for patients seeking long-term relief from musculoskeletal conditions.

What Is a PRP Injection?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is derived from the patient’s own blood. After processing, the platelet-rich portion—loaded with growth factors—is injected into the injured area to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Growth factors in PRP help:

  • Repair damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments

  • Improve blood supply to injured tissues

  • Reduce chronic inflammation


Conditions Treated with PRP Injection

PRP injections are commonly used for:

  • Knee osteoarthritis

  • Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries

  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow

  • Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL)

  • Tendinitis and bursitis

  • Sports injuries

  • Chronic muscle and tendon pain

Early-stage joint degeneration responds particularly well to PRP therapy.


Symptoms That May Indicate the Need for PRP Injection

You may benefit from PRP injection if you experience:

  • Persistent joint pain or stiffness

  • Pain during movement or sports

  • Swelling or inflammation around joints

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Injury-related pain not improving with rest or physiotherapy


Non-Surgical and Lifestyle Care Along with PRP

PRP injections work best when combined with:

  • Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises

  • Activity modification

  • Weight management for joint protection

  • Proper posture and ergonomics

  • Nutritional support for healing

Dr. Rupali Gupta customizes treatment plans to ensure optimal recovery.


PRP Injection Procedure

The procedure includes:

  • Drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood

  • Processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets

  • Injecting PRP into the affected joint or tissue under sterile conditions

The procedure is minimally invasive, usually completed within 30 minutes, and does not require hospital admission.


PRP Injection vs Conventional Treatments

Unlike painkillers or steroid injections that provide temporary relief, PRP addresses the root cause by promoting tissue regeneration. It offers longer-lasting benefits with minimal side effects, especially in early to moderate joint conditions.


Benefits of PRP Injection

  • Uses the body’s natural healing mechanism

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive

  • Reduces pain and inflammation

  • Improves joint mobility and function

  • Minimal downtime and quick recovery

  • Safe with very low risk of side effects


FAQs 

1. Is PRP injection safe?

2. How many PRP injections are needed?
Most patients need 1–3 injections depending on the condition.

3. When will I see results after PRP?
Improvement usually begins within 2–4 weeks and continues over time.
