Our blood consists of three main solid components: red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. Platelets consist of special proteins (growth factors), which can enhance our body’s natural healing response to an injury. Plasma is a liquid component found in our blood, while platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a high concentration of platelets, plasma and other components. PRP is delivered via injection to the injured area to boost your body’s ability to repair damaged tissue. PRP is a relatively new method, which can treat several orthopedic conditions, such as tendon, ligament and muscle injuries, arthritis and fractures. PRP is useful to promote healing, alleviate painful symptoms and delay joint replacement surgeries. Based on the severity of the case, you might need 2-3 sessions for full recovery.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a revolutionary treatment in orthopedics, helping to relieve pain and promote healing for joint injuries, arthritis, and tendon issues. In this video, learn how PRP works and whether it’s the right option for you.

PRP injections are an in-office procedure, takes about 45 minutes, and the general process is the following:
It is usually recommended to rest after leaving the office, however, many patients can return to light activities the next day. Effect of plasma appears in about 1-3 weeks.
Dr. Ahmed Gadallah has extensive experience in PRP therapy. He completed hundreds of PRP injections successfully and even submitted a research paper in 2016 with the title of “Comparative study between subacromial injection of PRP vs corticosteroid in cases with rotator cuff tendinopathy.”
PRP injections stimulate the body’s natural healing process, reducing inflammation, promoting tissue regeneration, and improving joint function. It is commonly used for conditions like osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and sports-related pain.
PRP is effective for treating:
The entire procedure takes about 30-60 minutes, including preparation and injection.
Patients may feel mild discomfort during the injection, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Some soreness may occur for a few days as the healing process begins.
It varies by condition and patient response. Many patients see improvement after one to three injections, spaced a few weeks apart.
PRP is generally safe since it uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Minor swelling, redness, or soreness at the injection site is normal. Infection and other complications are rare.
PRP is ideal for patients with mild to moderate joint or tendon injuries, who want a natural, regenerative treatment and wish to delay or avoid surgery.
PRP may delay or reduce the need for surgery by promoting healing, but in severe osteoarthritis cases, joint replacement may still be necessary.
Yes, but avoid strenuous activity for a few days to allow healing. Your doctor may recommend a gradual return to full activity.
With Dr. Ahmed Gadallah, PRP therapy starts from 3,000 EGP per session, depending on the treatment plan. For advanced PRP plus stem cell therapy, the cost is 5,000 EGP per session, offering enhanced regenerative benefits.
