What joint conditions can PRP treat?
PRP injections for joint pain can address conditions within joints themselves (like osteoarthritis affecting cartilage). It can also address issues with the tendons that connect joints to muscles and bones, promoting regeneration with the goal to ease pain and increase mobility.
PRP has shown promise in treating specific joint issues like:
- Osteoarthritis
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
- Medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
- Tendinopathy
- Partial ACL tears
- MCL and other ligament tears
- Ankle ligament sprains/instability
- Chondromalacia patella
- Focal cartilage defects
- Labral tears
- Bursitis
