PRP Injections in Dubai
Regenerative injection discussion for selected joint and tendon conditions.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is considered for selected patients with knee osteoarthritis, tendon pain, or joint symptoms after a diagnosis-led review. Dr. Humeira Badsha discusses when PRP is reasonable, when it is unlikely to help, and how it fits with medication, strengthening, weight management, and rehabilitation.
Quick answer for patients
PRP is not a universal arthritis treatment; suitability depends on diagnosis, severity, goals, and expectations.
- Mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis or selected tendon pain after assessment
- Need to compare PRP with steroid injection, physiotherapy, medication, or surgery referral
- Preference for a realistic discussion of benefits, limits, cost, and aftercare
Before PRP
PRP decisions should start with the cause of pain and the joint's structural status.
- History, examination, imaging review, and severity staging
- Medication review including blood thinners, infection risk, and platelet-related concerns
- Discussion of likely benefit, number of sessions, downtime, and rehab plan
Aftercare and outcomes
PRP works best when paired with load management and rehabilitation rather than used as a stand-alone promise.
- Post-procedure activity guidance and warning signs
- Strengthening, mobility, and weight or footwear advice when relevant
- Follow-up to assess pain, function, and whether other treatment is needed
