FAQs - PRP Injections

What are PRP injections?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections are a regenerative medicine option that may be considered as part of a personalized care plan. These injections use a sample of your own blood, which is processed and then injected into specific areas such as joints, muscles, ligaments, or the spine. PRP injections are designed to support the body’s natural healing response and may help reduce pain and inflammation in certain patients. Recommendations are based on individual evaluation and diagnosis.

How do PRP injections work?

PRP injections involve collecting a small sample of your blood, which is then processed to prepare it for injection. Using image guidance, the injection is placed into targeted areas based on your condition. PRP injections are used as an option to help reduce pain and inflammation and may improve function in certain patients. Dr. Silky Patel determines whether PRP is appropriate based on clinical evaluation and imaging findings.

What conditions can PRP injections be used for?

PRP injections may be considered for patients experiencing joint pain, muscle pain, tendon-related concerns, or spine-related symptoms. Dr. Gunjan Silky Patel commonly evaluates conditions such as facet arthrosis, sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, and degenerative disc changes. Based on your evaluation and diagnosis, PRP injections may be discussed as part of a plan to help reduce pain and improve function.

Are PRP injections better than steroid injections?

PRP injections and steroid injections are different options that may be considered depending on the patient’s condition. Each approach has its own role in pain management.

Are PRP injections safe?

PRP injections are generally considered a low-risk, non-surgical option when performed by a qualified physician.

Dr. Silky Patel uses image guidance and standard safety protocols during all procedures.

Who may be a candidate for PRP injections in Houston?

Patients experiencing joint pain, tendon-related concerns, or spine-related symptoms may be evaluated to determine whether PRP injections are appropriate.
