Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and preserve joint health. It’s an advanced form of regenerative medicine used for patients suffering from early arthritis, cartilage wear, ligament injuries, and chronic joint pain — especially in the knee, shoulder, and hip.
The PRP procedure involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s own blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets — the cells rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the affected joint or tissue under sterile conditions, where it helps reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and improve joint lubrication.
As a Joint Preservation and Regenerative Therapy Specialist, Dr. Prajyot Jagtap uses PRP therapy to delay the progression of arthritis and minimize the need for surgical intervention. The treatment supports cartilage regeneration, enhances mobility, and allows patients to stay active without long recovery periods. It’s especially beneficial for young, active individuals and early-stage osteoarthritis cases where joint replacement can still be avoided.
Because the treatment uses the patient’s own blood, PRP is safe, biocompatible, and has virtually no risk of allergic reaction or infection. Most patients experience gradual improvement in pain and function within a few weeks, with results continuing to enhance over several months.
