PRP injections may offer consistent pain relief and functional improvement for one year or longer. PRP comes from your own blood so there is only a low chance of having an allergic reaction or serious side effects. PRP injections also have minimal risk of local infection. Enjoy an alternative to drugs and surgery. PRP treatment can help support healing in trauma and joint injury. It can also be used for tendon, ligament, and muscle issues. Estimated cost of PRP injection service is $280 with an $80 Medicare rebate.
