High Dose Platelet Rich Plasma
(PRP)
What is PRP?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is made from a small sample of your own blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets. Platelets contain natural growth factors and proteins that help support the body’s healing response. By delivering a higher concentration of these healing components to an injured or painful area, PRP is used to encourage tissue repair and recovery.
What conditions does PRP treat?
PRP is commonly used when symptoms have not improved with rest, physiotherapy, or other conservative treatments, including:
- Tendon injuries
- Ligament problems
- Joint pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Some muscle injuries
High-dose PRP aims to provide a stronger concentration of these healing factors, and treatment is carefully selected based on the condition being treated. Dr James Ferrie performs these procedures alongside specialist Interventional Radiologist Dr Amit Lakkaraju.
Why choose high-dose PRP?
This advanced regenerative therapy offers a natural, minimally invasive option for patients looking to support healing and recovery without surgery. By harnessing the restorative potential of your own blood, high-dose PRP is designed to promote tissue repair, reduce pain, and help you return to activity with greater confidence.
