Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy represents a significant advance in regenerative pain medicine.
At Eshna Pain & Palliative Centre, we offer physician-supervised, ultrasound-guided PRP therapy for a range of musculoskeletal and joint pain conditions — providing biological healing rather than mere symptom suppression.
PRP is derived from your own blood. A small volume of blood is drawn, placed in a centrifuge, and spun to separate platelets from other blood components. The resulting platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, IGF-1) at concentrations 3–8 times higher than normal blood. When injected into damaged tissue, these growth factors stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, promote new collagen formation, and improve the local healing environment.
• Knee osteoarthritis (Grade I–III) — most evidence-supported indication
• Hip osteoarthritis
• Shoulder osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tendinopathy
• Lateral epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
• Patellar and Achilles tendinopathy
• Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
• Rotator cuff partial tears
1. Consultation: Clinical assessment and review of imaging to confirm PRP is appropriate
2. Blood Draw: Approximately 10–20 ml from your arm vein
3. Centrifugation: Blood processed in a certified centrifuge (~15 minutes)
4. PRP Preparation: High-concentration PRP prepared and verified
5. Image-Guided Injection: PRP injected under ultrasound guidance for precision
6. Post-Procedure Guidance: Activity modification and physiotherapy recommendations
Frequently Asked Questions — PRP Therapy Delhi
Q: Is PRP effective for knee pain?
A: Yes. PRP is supported by multiple randomized controlled trials for knee osteoarthritis, particularly Grades I–III. It provides longer-lasting relief than hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid injections, with a regenerative mechanism.
Q: Is PRP safe? Any side effects?
A: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is negligible. Potential risks include infection (minimized with sterile technique) and temporary pain flare. There are no systemic side effects .
Q: Can PRP replace knee replacement surgery?
A: PRP can delay or reduce the need for surgery in many patients, particularly those with early-to-moderate arthritis. It is not a substitute for advanced-stage OA requiring replacement, but can significantly extend the period of comfortable function.
