Who this page is for
PRP joint injections may be considered for adults with selected knee or soft-tissue problems who want a regenerative option assessed properly before committing.
Knee pain from early osteoarthritis
You have wear-related knee symptoms and want to understand where PRP sits alongside HA injections and other options.
Tendon or ligament complaints
A tendinopathy or soft-tissue injury has lingered despite rest and rehabilitation, and you are exploring injection-based support.
Preferring an autologous option
You like the idea of a treatment prepared from your own blood rather than a synthetic product, and want the evidence explained honestly.
Comparing regenerative options
You have read about PRP, HA, and other joint treatments and want a doctor's view on which — if any — fits your situation.
— What this involves
What a PRP joint injection involves
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets — cells rich in growth factors involved in the body's natural repair processes — and the concentrated plasma is then injected into the affected joint or soft tissue.
Because PRP is autologous (from your own body), allergic reaction to the plasma itself is not a typical concern, though injection-related risks still apply. Evidence for PRP varies by indication: it is stronger for some conditions than others, and results differ between individuals. Your doctor will explain what the evidence does and does not support for your specific problem.
PRP does not regrow cartilage or reverse established joint damage, and it is not suitable for every cause of joint pain. A doctor-led assessment at our Singapore clinics comes first: history, examination, previous treatment, and any features that need imaging or specialist review. The number of sessions, expected timeline, risks, and alternatives are discussed before you decide.
Some patients are better matched to a different pathway — HA viscosupplementation for osteoarthritis-related lubrication support, shockwave therapy for selected tendon problems, structured rehabilitation, or an orthopaedic opinion. If that applies to you, your doctor will say so.
— Why DrPlus
How DrPlus approaches joint PRP
PRP is offered as one option within an assessed joint-care plan — not as a standalone product for every painful joint.
PRP is proposed only where your diagnosis and the evidence for it reasonably align — never as a default.
Your sample is drawn, prepared, and injected in the same doctor-led visit under sterile technique.
Where the research is encouraging and where it is limited is part of the consultation, so you decide with full context.
Progress is checked at agreed intervals, and the plan can change — including stepping across to HA, shockwave, or referral.

Common questions
HA supplements the joint fluid's lubrication and cushioning; PRP concentrates platelets from your own blood to support the body's repair response. They work differently, suit different situations, and are sometimes discussed for the same knee — your assessment determines which is more appropriate.
Many joint protocols involve one to three injections spaced weeks apart, but the plan depends on your diagnosis and response. Your doctor confirms the proposed schedule — and the reasoning behind it — before anything is booked.
Temporary pain, swelling, or stiffness at the injection site is common for a few days. Because PRP comes from your own blood, allergic reaction to the plasma is not a typical concern, but infection and injection-related risks still apply and are explained beforehand.
The fee depends on the number of sessions planned for your joint, so we quote after your assessment. You will receive a written outline and price with no obligation to proceed.
