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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
