PRP therapy (plasma therapy) for joints

PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma therapy) for joints is a modern treatment method based on the use of the patient’s own blood plasma enriched with platelets to stimulate healing and regeneration of damaged joint tissues, ligaments, and cartilage. This method is effective in the treatment of arthritis, osteoarthritis, sprains, and soft tissue injuries.

When is PRP therapy for joints recommended?

• In osteoarthritis, arthritis, and inflammatory joint conditions.
• For recovery after injuries, sprains, and ligament damage.
• In chronic joint pain, especially affecting the knees, shoulders, and elbows.
• After sports injuries to accelerate tissue recovery.
• In conditions associated with cartilage degeneration and joint wear.

How is PRP therapy performed in Belarus?

1. Blood collection. A small amount of blood is taken from the patient (usually 15–20 ml).
2. Centrifugation. The blood is placed in a centrifuge, where platelet-rich plasma is separated from other blood components.
3. Injection. The enriched plasma is injected directly into the affected joint using a sterile needle.
4. Recovery period. Mild discomfort at the injection site may occur during the first days; overall recovery typically takes from several days to a few weeks.

Advantages of PRP therapy for joints

• Use of the patient’s own blood eliminates the risk of rejection and allergic reactions.
• Stimulates natural healing and tissue regeneration processes.
• Minimal side effects and short recovery time.
• Can be combined with other treatment methods to enhance overall effectiveness.
