PRP Therapy: Rejuvenate Joints, Relieve Pain, Restore Mobility

PRP For Joints London

Understanding the Need for PRP Therapy

The Struggle with Joint Pain

Arthritis can be so painful that it affects your ability to perform activities that you did previously or even restricts your mobility in general. Intermittent or chronic ailments such as arthritis, sports injuries, or the natural onset of arthritic conditions drive people to search for palliative and permanent cures. In our practice at PRP London Clinic, many patients complain about treatment failure from other procedures. Thus, our goal is not merely to deal with acute pain and its background but to help the patient recover in the long term.

Personal Anecdote: Dr. Mohammad

Dr Mohammad Akbar founded PRP London Clinic with 25 years of experience in the medical industry; our clinic continues to offer the highest quality aesthetic treatments and serve our patients. Our treatments are tailored to the individual needs of our patients and delivered by GMC-registered doctors. 

We listen and care – every patient is different, so we ensure that providing the best possible treatment is our top priority so you can see results as quickly as possible.

Why PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy involves the utilization of a patient’s platelets diluted and injected into areas of the body to heal tissue injuries and as an anti-inflammatory measure. This approach is particularly beneficial for: 

  • Osteoarthritis: Therapy can also be conducted using PRP because it can assist in preventing the loss of cartilage and enhancing the mobility of joints.
  • Tendon Injuries: Tennis elbow Achilles tendonitis is a typical condition in which patients undergo PRP therapy.
  • Ligament Injuries: PRP promotes healing in ligaments, which typically have a limited blood supply and are slow to recover.

Case Study

  • Sarah’s Transformation
    Sarah, a 50-year-old teacher with severe osteoarthritis in the knees, had sought allopathic remedies that had not proved very effective and was facing the prospect of knee replacement surgery. At our clinic, Sarah came for PRP therapy, and after going through the process, she stated it improved her a lot. ‘I can walk without any pain now. I feel this treatment with PRP is the one that significantly changed my life.’

The Personal Approach at PRP London Clinic

  • Tailored Consultation

Your experience starts with an appointment with Dr. Mohammad, who will discuss your case. “I believe in building a good rapport with my patients, so as a patient, your input is crucial in determining the choice of the kind of treatment that fits you best,” he stresses. The first thing about this process is assessing one’s medical background, overall signs, and desired treatment plan. 

  • Advanced Pre-Treatment Assessment

We conduct a comprehensive pre-treatment assessment, including:

  • Blood Tests: To help you better understand your overall condition and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for PRP therapy.
  • Imaging Studies: High-resolution MRI and ultrasound imaging are used to evaluate joint pathology quantitatively.
  • Medication Review: Informing the practitioner about any medication or a dietary supplement you are currently using so that it does not affect the effectiveness of a chosen treatment.

The PRP Therapy Process

During the Procedure: Precision and Care

  • Blood Draw: You’ll have about 30-60 milliliters of blood taken from a vein in your arm, at most half a cup.
  • Centrifugation: From the other blood components, utilizing our highly advanced centrifuge, we exclude the PRP.
  • PRP Extraction: The platelets are then concentrated and isolated for injection, and the body receives these tiny vessel-building heroes through injections.

Injection Process: Expertise in Action

The PRP injection is performed with meticulous precision:

  • Local Anesthesia: To reduce pain and discomfort.
  • Guided Injection: When using the basic technique, the surgeon makes sure that the PRP is placed sharply on the affected joint using real-time ultrasound. “But precise and accurate placement is critical – it is the fine line between good and great,” states Dr Jhonson. 

Post-Process: Ongoing Support

  1. Immediate Aftercare: 

After the injection, some discomfort can be anticipated, and you will be observed for any adverse signs and symptoms that may arise immediately after the injection. The patient should avoid using the injected joint for the rest of the day.

  1. Recovery and Follow-Up: Personalized Care

You may get recommendations about restrictions concerning some types of activity and physical therapy. Dr. Jhonson has follow-up sessions that you must attend regularly to assess the level of improvement and make necessary changes. “We need to understand that healing is a process, and we at PRP London are here with the patients all through the process,” he stresses.

Long-Term Benefits and Future Implications

i. Short-Term Relief and Improved Mobility

This means that short-term measures must be adopted to ensure that people with joint disabilities enjoy improved mobility. Easing of symptoms, which include pain, is seen in most patients after the first few weeks of using these medications, as well as restoration of joint movement as the inflammation subsides and tissues begin to mend.

ii. Long-Term Healing and Prevention

PRP therapy offers potential long-term benefits by addressing the root cause of pain:

  1. Delay or Prevent Surgery: PRP can reduce a person’s need for surgery, such as joint replacement surgery or any other invasive procedure.
  1. Reduce Dependency on Medications: This is further backed by the fact that patients report significantly reducing the need for subsequent pain-relief medication and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Innovative Techniques and Research

PRP London Clinic is among the top clinics offering the latest research and advanced methodologies. We constantly improve our techniques and update ourselves with information about the enhanced methods. 

Our patients benefit from:

  1. Advanced Imaging Techniques: There are still open questions concerning PRP application efficiency, and some critical aspects should be considered to reach the maximum possible outcome, such as the precise positioning of the PRP.
  1. Personalized Treatment Plans: Stemming from the patient characteristics, designed uniquely for each client to make the therapy more effective.

Potential Future Advancements we’ll see:

  1. Integrative Combination Therapy:

PRP therapy, combined with other regenerative therapies such as stem cell or gene therapy, holds the promise of combination and improved outcomes. Future research may explore new combination therapies presenting complementary strategies in implementing the regenerative processes.

  1. Bioengineering Techniques:

Bioengineering techniques, such as tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting, are poised to revolutionize regenerative medicine, including PRP treatments for joints. Future developments could include bioactive scaffolds or engineered tissues regenerating cartilage, ligaments, and other joints. PRP has been incorporated to enhance and provide a long-term joint repair and rehabilitation solution.

  1. Biomarker-guided therapy:

Advances in biomarker research may lead to biomarker-guided PRP therapy, using specific biomarkers to tailor treatment regimens and predict individual patient responses to PRP joint therapy. Pharmaceutical PRP treatment strategies by identifying biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes can be manipulated to improve patient choice criteria, resulting in more personalized treatment efficacy.

Myths vs. Facts

Myth 1: PRP Therapy is Painful

Myth 2: PRP Therapy is Only for Athletes

Fact: PRP therapy assists anybody struggling with joint pain, but it is incredibly best for athletes. It’s beneficial in dealing with osteoarthritis and other conditions involving joints, tendonitis, and more.

Myth 3: PRP Results Are Immediate

Fact: The process of treatment by PRP therapy is slower but sure, which does not cause any harm and results in better health. Sometimes, it starts working within weeks, so to enjoy the best results, the treatment requires some more time, say several months.
