PRP Treatment – Biological Therapy for Pain Relief and Improved Function

Do you have joint, tendon, or muscle pain that has not improved with conventional treatment?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a biological treatment method that uses the body’s own growth factors to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve function.

At Elit Ortopedi in Stockholm, PRP is used as part of an individualized treatment strategy for osteoarthritis, joint disorders, tendon injuries, and sports injuries.
All PRP treatments are always preceded by a thorough specialist assessment, where we determine whether PRP is the right treatment – or if another intervention would provide better results.

Is PRP Treatment Right for You?

Choosing the right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. At Elit Ortopedi, every PRP treatment begins with a comprehensive specialist-led evaluation. During your consultation, we carefully assess your symptoms, review previous imaging (MRI or X-ray), evaluate functional limitations, and discuss your goals — ensuring that PRP is truly the most appropriate treatment for your condition. You will receive a clear, evidence-based recommendation before making any decision.

What is PRP treatment?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma.

A small amount of your blood is drawn and centrifuged to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
The prepared PRP solution is then injected precisely into the injured area under ultrasound guidance for maximum accuracy.

PRP may:

  • Stimulate natural healing

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Relieve pain

  • Improve mobility and function

Recovery time is often short, and the procedure is performed in the clinic.
