What are PRP injections?
PRP uses your body's own healing power to repair damaged joints and tendons.
We use Arthrex ACP® - global medical-grade PRP trusted by elite athletes and sports medicine professionals worldwide.
We concentrate the healing platelets from your blood and inject them precisely into your injury using ultrasound guidance.
Medical-grade quality. Expertly given. Proven results.
