Regenerative injection therapy for stubborn tendons, tennis elbow, patellar tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis and knee osteoarthritis — no specialist referral required. Delivered in-clinic under ultrasound guidance.
Platelets are the small blood cells that release growth factors — the signalling molecules the body uses to repair injured tendons, ligaments and cartilage. In a PRP injection we draw a small volume of your own blood, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets to 4–7× normal levels, and inject that concentrate directly into the injured tissue. This delivers a highly concentrated dose of your body's own repair signals right where they're needed.
Because the biological is autologous (from you), the risk of allergic reaction is minimal, and drug-interaction and immune-rejection concerns are much lower than with off-the-shelf medications. Side effects are usually limited to short-term soreness at the injection site. This is why PRP has become a common choice for chronic tendinopathy that hasn't responded to physiotherapy, ice, NSAIDs and time.
The classic PRP indication. Multiple randomised trials show PRP outperforms corticosteroid injection for chronic tennis elbow at 6-12 months. Best result when symptoms have been present > 3 months and other treatments have plateaued.
The medial-side counterpart of tennis elbow. Same PRP mechanism — ultrasound-guided injection into the common flexor origin.
Common in runners, jumpers and long-standing patellofemoral loaders. Ultrasound-guided PRP into the patellar tendon, followed by a structured eccentric loading programme, gives durable relief.
Both midportion and insertional Achilles tendinopathy respond to PRP when the patient has completed 12 weeks of loading and is still symptomatic.
Heel pain that hasn't responded to stretching, orthotics and shockwave. PRP into the plantar fascia origin is a durable option before surgery is considered.
Chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy with partial-thickness tearing — ultrasound-guided PRP into the tear can reduce pain and support healing without surgery.
Grades 1-3 knee OA. PRP is often our first-line joint injection for younger patients and active older patients — good evidence base, less risk of cartilage effect than steroid, and often equivalent duration to HA.
Lateral hip pain, painful to lie on. Ultrasound-guided PRP to the gluteus medius tendon, followed by a hip abductor loading programme.
No referral needed. Walk in during opening hours, book online or WhatsApp us.
The blood draw, centrifugation and injection are all done in a single visit — you don't come back on a separate day.
PRP works best when it's the right tool for the right problem. The evidence is strongest for chronic tennis elbow, patellar tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis and knee osteoarthritis; it's less compelling for acute muscle strains, full-thickness rotator cuff tears and severe grade-4 knee OA. We tell you honestly whether PRP is likely to help, or whether you'd do better with a different approach — physiotherapy, shockwave, HA, cortisone or surgical opinion.
A PRP injection is not the whole treatment; it's a catalyst. The rehabilitation loading programme afterwards is what actually builds a durable tendon. We coordinate with our in-house physiotherapists so the two work together.
