Beyond Surgery: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as a Game-Changer for Tendon Injuries
PRP 101
Platelet-Rich Plasma concentrates your own platelets—and the growth factors they contain—into a powerful injectable that jump-starts tissue repair while avoiding the scalpel.
Why Choose PRP Over Surgery?
- Minimally invasive; no general anesthesia
- Reduced infection and complication risk
- Faster return to sport or daily activity
- Targets chronic tendon insertion pain unresponsive to physical therapy
