Joint Pain Relief — Without Surgery
Most people living with chronic joint or tendon pain believe they have only two options: keep managing the pain, or go under the knife. PRP changes that equation entirely.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. Platelets are the tiny cells in your blood responsible for repair — carrying hundreds of growth factors that signal your body to rebuild damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and regenerate new cells. In a PRP injection, a small sample of your own blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate these platelets 3–5 times, then precisely injected into the damaged joint or tendon. Your body’s own healing power — amplified, and delivered exactly where it is needed.
Because PRP comes from your own blood, there is no risk of rejection, no synthetic drug, and no recovery ward. Thousands of patients across Chennai have used it to get back to their lives without an operation.
🩸
Repairs, Not Just Relieves
Unlike pain medication that masks symptoms, PRP actively stimulates tissue regeneration — rebuilding the cartilage, tendon, or ligament from within. Many patients find the underlying problem improves, not just the pain level.
🚫
Delays or Avoids Surgery Entirely ← Key Benefit
For mild-to-moderate joint degeneration, PRP can halt progression and restore function — keeping many patients out of the operating theatre for years. Some avoid surgery altogether.
🌱
Long-Lasting Results
PRP’s regenerative effect builds over weeks and lasts 6–18 months in most patients. It addresses the cause of joint deterioration — not just the flare-up — giving more durable relief than temporary measures.
PRP is prepared by spinning a small blood sample at high speed — concentrating the healing platelets 3–5 times their natural level.
Conditions Commonly Treated With PRP Injection
PRP brings powerful, natural healing to a wide range of joint, tendon, and soft-tissue conditions — helping you stay active and avoid surgery.
Knee Osteoarthritis
The most common use of PRP. When cartilage in the knee begins to thin and degenerate — causing pain, stiffness, and swelling — PRP can slow the progression and provide significant, lasting pain relief, often delaying or avoiding the need for knee replacement surgery.
Tendon Injuries
Tendons have poor blood supply and heal slowly. PRP is especially powerful for chronic tendinopathies — including tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and patellar tendinopathy — delivering concentrated healing exactly where the body needs it most.
Shoulder Pain
Rotator cuff injuries, shoulder bursitis, and early shoulder arthritis respond beautifully to PRP. Many patients restore full strength and movement to the shoulder with targeted PRP — and get back to everyday life without surgery.
Plantar Fasciitis
Persistent heel pain from plantar fasciitis responds remarkably well to PRP, delivered directly to the source of the pain. Many patients enjoy a return to comfortable, pain-free walking and morning movement.
Spine & Back Conditions
PRP brings effective relief to spinal conditions including sacroiliac joint pain and facet joint arthritis, and supports the management of disc degeneration — easing chronic low back pain and helping you move comfortably again.
Ligament & Sports Injuries
Partial ligament tears, muscle strains, and sports injuries with delayed healing are well-suited to PRP. It shortens recovery time and reduces scar tissue formation — allowing athletes to return to activity faster and with better long-term joint health.
What Happens on the Day of Your PRP Injection?
The entire procedure takes under 90 minutes and you go home the same day — usually within hours of arrival.
1
Blood Draw
A small amount of your blood is drawn from your arm — just like a routine blood test. No anaesthesia needed at this stage.
⏱ 5 minutes
2
Centrifuge Processing
Your blood is placed in a centrifuge that spins at high speed, separating the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components and concentrating the growth factors.
⏱ 15–20 minutes
3
Guided Injection
The concentrated PRP is drawn into a syringe and injected into the precise target — guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy for accuracy. Local anaesthetic is used for comfort.
⏱ 10–15 minutes
4
Recovery & Healing
After a short rest, you head home the very same day. Your body’s natural healing response begins immediately, and you’ll feel the benefit build steadily over the following weeks.
⏱ Home same day
Ultrasound guidance ensures the PRP is delivered precisely to the target tissue — maximising effectiveness.
The entire preparation — from blood draw to injection — is performed in a single, same-day session.

What Patients Say About Their PRP Experience
”
I had knee pain for two years and was dreading the idea of surgery. A friend suggested seeing Dr. Soma Sundar. After my PRP treatment I am walking my evening rounds in Adyar without any pain. I cannot believe the difference. He was very clear, very reassuring, and never pushed for anything unnecessary.

My heel pain was so bad I could not put full weight on my foot in the mornings. After one PRP injection and the exercises Dr. Soma Sundar prescribed, the morning stiffness went away completely within five weeks.

I was referred to Dr. Soma Sundar for shoulder pain from a rotator cuff injury. He reviewed my MRI carefully and suggested PRP before considering surgery. The procedure was quick and the follow-up was thorough. My shoulder strength has come back to almost normal. Very happy I chose this route before going straight to the operation theatre.
