PRP Injection — Joint Pain & Osteoarthritis

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) joint injections at Ray of Health offer a minimally invasive regenerative option for patients suffering from joint pain caused by osteoarthritis, cartilage injuries, meniscus tears, and ligament damage. The treatment harnesses the body's own healing biology — a small blood sample is drawn from the arm, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets up to five times their normal level, and then precisely injected into the…

Platelet-Rich Plasma contains high concentrations of growth factors including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF-1. When delivered directly into a damaged joint, these growth factors activate resident stem cells, promote collagen synthesis, reduce inflammatory mediators, and stimulate chondrocyte (cartilage cell) proliferation. The result is a gradual but meaningful reduction in pain and improvement in joint function over the weeks and months following injection.

At Ray of Health, PRP joint injections are performed by Dr James Tan Chung Hui, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with over a decade of sports surgery experience. Common indications include knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence Grade I–III), hip joint degeneration, shoulder osteoarthritis, meniscus tears unsuitable for immediate surgery, and ACL or MCL ligament injuries where conservative management is preferred.
