Exceptional, affordable healthcare.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, an innovative and effective non-surgical treatment for joint and soft-tissue pain and inflammation. A sample of your own blood is taken and treated so that the plasma and platelets are extracted and concentrated. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into your joint to reduce pain and restore movement.
PRP injections use your body’s natural healing processes to speed up recovery and reduce the need for surgery. The consultant orthopaedic surgeons and pain management specialists at The Vesey use ultrasound-guided PRP injections to treat problems including rotator cuff tears, knee osteoarthritis, tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy.
PRP is platelet-rich plasma, an innovative injectable treatment that harnesses the body’s ability to heal itself. PRP injections are a type of regenerative medicine.
Your consultant takes a blood sample then prepares it to concentrate the plasma, platelets and white cells.

The consultant re-injects the PRP into your body. The solution contains concentrated platelets that release natural growth factors that support tissue healing. PRP injections can treat osteoarthritis and accelerate the recovery of damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints.
