PRP for Unique Injuries
Customized PRP protocols for complex and uncommon musculoskeletal conditions.
When Standard Treatments Fall Short
Not every injury fits neatly into a textbook category. Some patients come to us after exhausting conventional options for conditions that are rare, complex, or involve multiple structures simultaneously. Others are elite athletes whose injuries demand a recovery approach that goes beyond what standard rehabilitation can achieve. This is where the true flexibility of PRP therapy shines.
The beauty of platelet-rich plasma is that it is not a rigid, one-protocol treatment. The concentration of platelets can be adjusted. The activation method can be tailored to favor different growth factor profiles. The injection targets can be customized to address whichever tissues are damaged, whether that is a rotator cuff tendon deep in the shoulder, a labral tear in the hip, or a compressed nerve in the wrist. This adaptability makes PRP uniquely suited for conditions that do not respond to cookie-cutter approaches.
We also see remarkable results when PRP is used as an adjunct to surgery. Applied during or after orthopedic procedures, PRP can accelerate tissue integration, reduce post-operative inflammation, and improve the quality of the healed tissue. For patients recovering from complex reconstructions, this biological boost can meaningfully shorten the road back to full function.
Conditions We Specialize In
Sports-Specific Injuries
Every sport imposes unique biomechanical demands on the body. Whether it is a hockey player's hip impingement, a pitcher's shoulder strain, or a dancer's chronic foot pain, we design PRP protocols that address the specific tissue damage and functional requirements of your sport.
Post-Surgical Tissue Repair
PRP can significantly enhance recovery after orthopedic surgery. Applied to surgical sites, it accelerates wound healing, reduces scar tissue formation, and supports the integration of repaired or reconstructed tissues, helping you return to function faster than with surgery alone.
Chronic Tendinopathies
When tendon damage in the shoulder, wrist, hip, or other locations has resisted months of physiotherapy and conservative care, PRP offers a biological reset. The concentrated growth factors restart healing processes that have stalled, breaking the cycle of chronic degeneration.
Rotator Cuff Injuries
Partial rotator cuff tears and chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy are among the most common causes of shoulder disability. PRP injected into the damaged tendon fibers promotes collagen synthesis and reduces the inflammatory milieu that perpetuates pain and weakness.
Hip Labral Tears
The acetabular labrum is critical for hip stability and smooth joint movement. For partial tears and labral fraying, PRP can support tissue repair and reduce intra-articular inflammation, potentially avoiding the need for arthroscopic surgery.
Nerve-Related Pain
Peripheral nerve entrapments and neurogenic inflammation can cause persistent pain that defies conventional treatment. PRP's anti-inflammatory properties and nerve growth factors can help create a healthier environment around compressed or irritated nerves, reducing pain signaling.
What to Expect
Comprehensive Discovery Consultation
Unique conditions require unique understanding. Your first visit is an extended consultation where we dive deep into your injury history, previous treatments, functional limitations, and goals. We review all available imaging and may order additional studies to build a complete picture of your condition.
Custom Protocol Design
There is no off-the-shelf protocol for complex injuries. We determine the optimal PRP concentration, activation method, and injection strategy for your specific condition. For multi-structure involvement, we map out a sequenced treatment plan that addresses each component systematically.
Precision Treatment Delivery
Using the most appropriate imaging guidance for your condition, whether ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or a combination, we deliver the customized PRP preparation to the exact target tissues. For challenging anatomical locations, we employ advanced needle approaches that maximize safety and accuracy.
Individualized Rehabilitation Program
Recovery from complex injuries demands a tailored rehabilitation approach. We work closely with your physiotherapist to design a progressive loading program that complements the biological healing initiated by PRP. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor progress and adjust the plan as your tissues respond.
Your Condition Deserves a Custom Approach
Complex injuries require more than standard solutions. Let us design a PRP protocol tailored to your unique situation.
