Platelet Rich Therapy

I'm pleased to be able to let you know that I can now offer platelet rich plasma injections for patients with tendon or joint pain.

These injections are a highly effective and natural way of healing acute or chronic tendon, muscle and ligament injury.

The procedure involves taking a small sample of the patients own blood, spinning it down in a centrifuge inside a special syringe and then using a separate syringe to inject the plasma, platelet and buffy coat mixture back into the patient.

There's an increasing amount of research evidence available and you can read more about platelet rich plasma injections here.
