When this treatment may help
Plasma treatment is discussed for selected joint and tendon problems. The practice lists osteoarthritis, tendon attachment symptoms and sports injuries among its applications. Suitability requires an individual assessment.
How the treatment works
A small amount of blood is collected and centrifuged. A prepared plasma portion is then injected into the agreed area. ACP and PRP describe preparation approaches; composition and application can differ.
What happens at your appointment
The visit includes discussion, blood collection, preparation and injection, followed by advice about activity. The number of applications depends on the findings, the procedure and progress over time.
What you can expect
The aim is better pain and function. NICE considers evidence for PRP effectiveness in knee osteoarthritis limited. Using your own material does not guarantee benefit or demonstrate cartilage restoration.
Limitations and possible risks
Pain and bruising can occur at collection or injection sites, and infection is possible. Blood disorders and medication need consideration. Treatment does not replace appropriate rehabilitation.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring reports and a complete medication list. Do not alter pain medicine or blood thinners without advice. Agree in advance when symptoms, activity and next steps will be reviewed.
Costs and insurance
The practice accepts all public health insurances and offers private treatment. This does not mean every individual service is covered. The scope, possible personal costs and follow-up are discussed before starting.
