What is PRP Therapy? The Natural Healing Treatment Everyone is Talking About

“No matter whom you ask, you would have probably heard this somewhere —
‘After PRP, my knee pain reduced.’
‘After PRP treatment, my back pain became better.’
‘I noticed better hair growth after PRP.’

But have you ever wondered what PRP Therapy actually is?

Hi, I’m,

Dr. Kiruthika Balakrishnan

MD RMSK (APCA, USA), FIPM, FIRM

Interventional Pain & Regenerative Physician

Let’s understand the vital components of our blood and their important role in healing,
recovery, and overall body function.

Our blood contains three important types of cells.

Understanding Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment prepared using a
small sample of the patient’s own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which are rich in healing growth factors that help repair damaged tissues naturally.
When injected into the affected area under ultrasound guidance, PRP helps stimulate tissue
healing, reduce inflammation, and support long-term recovery instead of simply masking pain.

PRP Therapy is commonly used for:

Knee pain and early arthritis
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
Tennis elbow
Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendon pain
Sports injuries and ligament strains
Hip and spine-related pain conditions

Since PRP is prepared from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergy or rejection is extremely
low. The procedure is minimally invasive, usually completed within 30–45 minutes, and
supports the body’s natural healing process gradually over time.

PRP Therapy Overview Details
Treatment Type Regenerative Therapy
Procedure Time 30–45 Minutes
Source Patient’s Own Blood
Main Benefit Natural Healing & Tissue Repair

PRP is not just a pain-relief treatment — it is a regenerative therapy focused on healing and
tissue repair.

“PRP Therapy is not about temporarily masking pain, it is about helping the body heal naturally through regenerative medicine.” – Dr. Kiruthika Balakrishnan
