Beyond Surgery: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as a Game-Changer for Tendon Injuries

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

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

Evidence & Education
