PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

 

 

 

 

prepared plasma injections

 

This is a process in which the patient's own blood is extracted and then centrifuged (process of spinning). This facilitates the blood being separated into its different components, which are the red cells, the white cells and the platelets and plasma. The Platelet-rich Plasma can then be injected in joints for management of arthritis, into the tendons for treatment of tendinosis, into the muscle for helping in the healing after muscle tears, and into the plantar fascia for plantar fasciopathy.

Our MSK imaging specialists can aid in assessing the condition of the joint in question, improve the accuracy for the injection site localisation, and assist in guiding the needle to the precise location where it will ensure the desired outcome.

 

 

 

 

Other procedures and diagnostics

Here at MSK, we perform a range of procedures with the help of imaging techniques, enhancing the efficiency, quality, and patient outcomes for a wide range of clients.

 

 

Image guided Spinal intervention
We offer a host of Image guided spinal interventions including Nerve root blocks, epidural injections, and facet injections.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
PRP is used to treat a range of conditions, including arthritis, tendinosis, muscle tears, and for plantar fasciopathy.
Achilles Tendon Stripping
This is a minimally invasive, effective, and technically straightforward treatment of Achilles tendinopathy.
Dry Needling or Barbotage
This is the most frequent and successful treatment for patients with calcific tendonitis.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection
This substance mimics the joints’ natural lubricant, and has been shown to be highly effective in reducing pain and inflammation.
Cryoablation for Morton’s Neuroma
This is a highly effective treatment, especially if performed with an Ultrasound.
Steroid injections
When performing a steroid injection, we use real-time imaging to visualise the affected area and guide the needle to the precise location, minimising risk.
Arthrograms
This involves using an arthroscope to visualise and diagnose joint problems by viewing the joint’s interior, and this can also be used to perform various treatments.
