PRP Injections for Orthopedic Pain Relief
Heal naturally using your body’s own platelets to repair damaged tissues & reduce chronic pain.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that uses your body’s own healing cells to repair damaged tissues and relieve chronic joint and tendon pain. It is especially effective for conditions like arthritis, sports injuries and ligament or tendon inflammation. At Altius Hospital, PRP injections are performed by experienced orthopaedic specialists using precise, ultrasound guided techniques to ensure safe, accurate and long lasting relief.
What is PRP Therapy for Pain Relief?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood to repair damaged tissues and reduce chronic pain. Your blood contains platelets, cells rich in growth factors, that naturally stimulate healing. During this procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate these platelets and then injected into the painful or injured area.
This concentrated platelet solution helps reduce inflammation, improve tissue repair and enhance joint function. PRP therapy is widely used for managing knee pain, shoulder injuries, tendon problems, ligament sprains and early stage arthritis. Because it uses your own natural healing components, PRP is safe, effective and an excellent alternative for patients looking to avoid steroids or delay surgery.

Our Patients have Happy Stories to say
"I had been struggling with knee pain for almost two years and walking even short distance became difficult. After PRP treatment pain gradually reduced over next few weeks. I’m able to climb stairs and resume my morning walks without much pain now. Thanks to Dr. Mohit for the good care”
Mahesh A
"I tried everything for my heel pain - insoles, medications, rest but nothing helped completely. PRP was my last hope before considering surgery. I’m so glad I did it. The pain has reduced significantly and I can stand for long hours at work now. The hospital team made the whole experience smooth."
Shankar Sahu
"As someone who goes to the gym regularly a tendon injury in my elbow was very frustrating. PRP has helped me reduce pain much better than painkillers. The improvement has been gradual and hoping it lasts."
