Platelet Rich Plasma For Common Pain Syndromes and Orthopaedic Problems

In Klinik Bodycare, we have successfully used the “Platelet Rich Plasma” technique to treat some common pain syndromes and orthopaedic  problems. These problems usually arise from the repetitive use limbs and finger movements involved during household chores, work and play which cause chronic strain injuries. The repetitive nature of the tasks or chores encountered during work or play cause minor  tearing and small rupture in the tendons or ligaments of our fingers or limb joints resulting in repeated but incomplete attempt by our body to repair those tears due the reoccurrence of the stress on these ligaments from repeated use of the same body parts with resulting chronic inflammation and thus pain and swelling at the site. Inadequete rest or immobilization of sprain injuries from accidents and sports maylso result in delay healing of certain orthopaedic problems.

By utilizing the secretion of growth factors from activated platelets , we are able to hasten the healing of these injuries and subsequently reduce pain and improve and ensure the early return of function to the injured painful body parts. Platelets are harvested and concentrated from blood drawn from the patient’s own blood and then injected to the injured site or body part.

The following conditions are amendable to the PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) technique done in KLINIK BODYCARE CHERAS.
Trigger fingers, snuff box pain, tennis elbow  from REPETITIVE wringing laundry, cutting, twisting, knifing, screw driving  chores, Keyboard typing and handphone keypad typing especially during SMSes,
Frozen and painful shoulder, osteoarthritis of the shoulder
Painful knee  joints from osteoarthritis due to lack of synovial fluid
Chronic painful ankle joint sprains due to delay healing
Calcaneum spur, plantar fasciitis or painful foot syndrome
And various other chronic painful conditions related to the above.
