Dr. Chandan C. Shetty offers PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma) injections as part of his non‑surgical treatment options for certain joint, tendon, ligament and soft‑tissue conditions. After a thorough clinical evaluation and imaging to determine the source of pain or dysfunction (for example mild to moderate osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, or post‑operative healing delays), he draws a small sample of the patient’s own blood. This is then processed in a sterile centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors.
The PRP is injected precisely into the affected area under sterile conditions — sometimes with image guidance — to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and help regenerate damaged structures. Following the injection, Dr. Shetty provides follow‑ups to assess response, manage any discomfort, and guide rehabilitation or physical therapy to maximize the benefit and restore mobility.
