PRP Therapy for Musculoskeletal Injuries

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections using the patient's own concentrated platelets and growth factors to heal tendons, ligaments, and cartilage — covering the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and foot.

New Path Medical & Aesthetics offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as a minimally invasive, drug-free regenerative treatment for a wide range of soft tissue and joint conditions. PRP is prepared by drawing a small volume of the patient's blood, centrifuging it to concentrate the platelet fraction, and injecting the resulting plasma — rich in growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF — directly into the affected tissue under clinical guidance. Because PRP is autologous (derived from the patient's own blood), the risk of immune reaction or disease transmission is negligible, and the procedure can be safely repeated if required. At New Path, PRP is used to treat a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal complaints: shoulder conditions including rotator cuff tendonitis, cartilage defects, and early glenohumeral arthritis; lateral and medial epicondylitis (tennis elbow and golfer's elbow); knee tendonitis, ligament injuries (including partial ACL/MCL tears), cartilage defects, and early osteoarthritis; foot and ankle pathologies including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and ankle ligament sprains; and wrist and hand ligament sprains. The procedure is performed by Dr Rakesh, who holds a Graduate Diploma in Family Medicine and has over 15 years of clinical experience. Friday afternoons at the clinic are dedicated to procedures, ensuring unhurried, focused treatment sessions. PRP is particularly suitable for patients who have not responded to physiotherapy or NSAIDs, or who wish to avoid or delay surgical intervention. Multiple injections spaced 4–6 weeks apart are often recommended for chronic tendinopathies, while acute injuries may respond to a single session.
