PRP Platelet Therapy

🩸 What Is PRP (PlateletRich Plasma)?

PlateletRich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous (your own) blood-derived therapy. A small sample of your blood is drawn, then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets—cells rich in growth factors and cytokines that support tissue healing and regeneration. The resulting PRP is injected into the injured tissue to promote repair and reduce pain.

🎯 Ultrasound Guidance

At MedCAiRE Health, our ultrasound-guided PRP injections are performed by highly trained professionals to ensure accuracy and efficacy. A diagnostic ultrasound exam is required to confirm the precise location and extent of injury before treatment.

We use PRP therapy for a wide range of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, including:

• Knee osteoarthritis (mild to moderate)
• Partial tendon tears
• Rotator cuff pain or tendinopathy
• Patellar tendonitis
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
• Achilles tendonitis

Chronic joint or ligament injuries

🔍 PRP is particularly effective for partial tendon tears and chronic tendon injuries, where traditional physiotherapy or corticosteroid injections may have failed to provide lasting relief.

🌟 Benefits of PRP Therapy

• Stimulates natural tissue regeneration
• Reduces pain and inflammation
• Improves function and mobility
• Non-surgical, minimally invasive
• Uses your own cells—low risk of allergic reaction
• Ultrasound guidance improves safety and accuracy

🩺 The PRP Treatment Process

Consultation + Diagnostic Ultrasound
A comprehensive clinical exam and diagnostic ultrasound are performed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of the condition.

Blood Draw and PRP Preparation
A small sample of your blood is centrifuged on-site to isolate the PRP—this takes about 10–15 minutes.

Ultrasound-Guided Injection
The PRP is precisely injected into the affected tissue under real-time ultrasound guidance.

Post-Injection Care
You’ll receive customized instructions, and in many cases, rehabilitation exercises or physiotherapy is recommended.

Optional Repeat Injections
In some cases, a second injection may be advised 4–6 weeks after the initial treatment, depending on your progress.

💵 Pricing

• Single PRP Injection: $495
• Series of 2 PRP Injections: $990

(Includes ultrasound guidance and follow-up care. A diagnostic ultrasound exam may be billed separately.)

📝 Additional Notes

A diagnostic ultrasound exam is required prior to PRP injection to ensure an accurate diagnosis and to rule out complete tendon ruptures or structural abnormalities that may not benefit from PRP.

PRP is most effective for partial tendon tears, tendonitis, and mild-to-moderate degenerative conditions.

Complete tendon ruptures or severe arthritis are not ideal candidates for PRP.
