Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment used to relieve pain from joints, tendons, and sometimes nerves. The procedure involves taking a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate its components. The platelets and growth factors are concentrated and injected into the affected area, acting as an anti-inflammatory to reduce pain. While PRP does not regenerate joints or tendons, it is considered an effective analgesic treatment, often providing pain relief for up to 12 months. Repeat injections may be needed over time, and PRP is often preferred over corticosteroids or other injections such as hyaluronic acid due to its longer-lasting effects.
