Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection Treatment in London

Home / Services / Injections / Platelet Rich Plasma Injection

Platelet-rich plasma injection provides a natural approach that leverages the body’s own healing resources. An injection using a concentration of the patient’s own platelets is prepared from a small sample of the patient’s blood.

Platelets contain growth factors involved in tissue healing. This method is used for chronic tendon injuries and selected joint conditions.

Dr Purnajyoti Banerjee provides careful, evidence-based assessment and treatment. PRP treatment for tendon injury and PRP injection for joint pain may help stimulate healing rather than simply reduce inflammation.
