PRP + Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Therapy
Struggling with knee osteoarthritis, meniscal tears, or chronic joint pain? Our PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRP + Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections offer a non-surgical, evidence-based solution to relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote long-term healing.
This powerful combo pairs PRP’s regenerative power with HA’s joint-lubricating benefits. Designed for mild to advanced osteoarthritis or chronic joint stiffness, it enhances mobility, reduces inflammation, and slows cartilage breakdown—clinically proven to outperform HA alone.
Treatment is ideal for patients with:
✔ Mild-to-severe osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2–3)
✔ Recurrent swelling/locking of the knee
✔ Contraindications to surgery (e.g., age, health risks)
✔ Desire to delay or avoid joint replacement
Treatment is not advised for patients with infections or bleeding disorders
Step 1: Blood Draw
Blood is drawn and processed into platelet-rich plasma.
Step 2: PRP Preparation
Blood is centrifuged for 5 minutes to separate red blood cells and PRP
Step 3: PRP Injection
PRP is drawn up from tube injected directly into treatment site
Key benefits
Synergistic Healing
Platelet-Rich Plasma repairs tissue; Hyaluronic Acid lubricates joints for smoother movement.
Enhanced Pain Relief
Studies show 30% better outcomes vs. Hyaluronic Acid alone (Xu et al., 2021).
Slows Osteoarthritis Progression
Platelet-Rich Plasma nourishes the cartilage and decreases the death rate of the cells, slowing down Osteoarthritis progression, Hyaluronic Acid works to replenish the body’s natural synovial fluid to protect cartilage.
No Downtime
Walk out same day; resume daily activities within 24-48 hours.
Conditions treated
Mild to advanced knee osteoarthritis
Chronic joint stiffness/pain
Meniscal tears and post-meniscectomy pain
Failed Hyaluronic Acid-only or Cortisone therapy

What is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative injection therapy that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to accelerate healing in damaged tendons, ligaments, and arthritic joints. It’s effective for:
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Meniscal tears
- Tendinopathies (e.g., hip bursitis, gluteal tendon pain)
Unlike surgery, PRP is minimally invasive and harnesses your body’s natural healing process.
Pricing
We offer affordable, transparent pricing for PRP and PRP + Hyaluronic Acid therapy. Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for PRP and 2 sessions 4 weeks apart for PRP+HA.
