Platelet Rich Plasma & Hyaluronic Acid
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid are regenerative injections that support joint and tissue healing in osteoarthritis and certain tendon or joint injuries. PRP is concentrated from your own blood to support healing, while hyaluronic acid adds lubrication and cushioning.
Request a consultationWhat it treats
This procedure is commonly used to treat Knee Pain, Osteoarthritis and Lower Back Pain.
How it works
For PRP, Dr. Taheem draws a small sample of your blood, concentrates the platelets, and injects them into the affected joint or tissue to support the body’s natural healing. Hyaluronic acid injections add a lubricating, cushioning gel to arthritic joints.
What to expect
These regenerative options aim to relieve pain and improve joint function, particularly in earlier-stage arthritis. Benefits can develop gradually over several weeks as healing and lubrication improve.
