PRP Therapy for Sports Injuries and Arthritis

At our clinic, our qualified doctors and registered nurses offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy — a medical treatment that uses your body’s own blood components to support tissue repair and recovery.

What is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It’s made by taking a small sample of your own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then carefully injecting it into the area of concern. Platelets are part of your blood that contain natural growth factors that can help support your body’s healing processes.

How PRP May Help

PRP therapy is used in medicine to help manage symptoms related to:

  • Sports or soft tissue injuries (like tendon or ligament strain)

  • Mild to moderate arthritis or joint pain

Each person’s situation is different, and results can vary. Our medical team will assess your condition and discuss whether PRP is suitable for you as part of your treatment plan.

What to Expect

PRP is performed in a clinical setting by our trained medical professionals. The procedure typically involves:

  1. Drawing a small amount of your blood

  2. Processing it in a sterile system to prepare the PRP

  3. Injecting it into the treatment area under medical supervision

Downtime is usually minimal, and most people return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

Safety and Regulations

PRP is a medical procedure, not a cosmetic product. All PRP treatments at our clinic are performed by AHPRA-registered doctors and nurses using TGA-compliant medical equipment and sterile techniques.

Is PRP Right for You?

If you’re managing a sports injury or arthritis symptoms and want to explore PRP as an option, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our doctors. They’ll discuss your medical history, goals, and the most appropriate treatment options for you.
