PRP Injection at AIC Health Hub: A Minimally Invasive Option for Knee Pain, Tendon Inflammation & Sprain Recovery
If you’re dealing with knee pain, stubborn tendon inflammation, or a ligament sprain/tear that won’t settle, you may be looking for a treatment that supports recovery without surgery. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injection is a minimally invasive treatment option that uses your body’s own healing components to help target pain and tissue irritation—especially when combined with a proper rehabilitation plan.
At AIC Health Hub, PRP is performed as an ultrasound-guided injection for improved accuracy and targeted delivery.
What is a PRP injection?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma—a concentrated portion of your blood that contains platelets and growth factors involved in the body’s natural repair process. In many cases, PRP is used to support recovery in areas affected by overuse, injury, or degenerative changes.
Note: Results vary by condition, severity, and overall health. PRP is not a guaranteed cure, and your provider will help determine if it’s appropriate for you.
Conditions PRP May Help (Based on Common Uses)
PRP is often considered for:
1) Knee Pain
Commonly associated with:
- Degenerative arthritis
- Sports-related knee injuries
If knee pain is limiting stairs, walking, or exercise, PRP may be recommended as part of a broader plan that can include strengthening, mobility work, and activity modification.
2) Tendon Inflammation
Often involving:
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Ankle
Tendon issues can be slow to improve because tendons have lower blood supply. PRP is sometimes used to support tendon healing alongside physical therapy and progressive loading exercises.
3) Sprain Recovery
For cases such as:
- Ligament tears
- Ligament sprains
When a ligament injury is affecting stability, PRP may be considered to help support tissue recovery—paired with guided rehab for strength, balance, and return-to-activity progressions.
Why Ultrasound Guidance Matters
At AIC Health Hub, PRP is delivered via ultrasound-guided injection, which helps your provider:
- Visualize the target area in real time
- Improve injection precision
- Focus treatment where it’s needed most
This is especially helpful for tendons, ligaments, and joint spaces where accuracy makes a big difference.
Benefits Patients Commonly Look For
While outcomes differ per person, patients often choose PRP because it is:
- A minimally invasive option
- Designed to support the body’s natural repair processes
- A potential add-on to rehab when pain or inflammation persists
- Often used to support faster recovery goals compared to “wait and see” alone (depending on the condition and rehab compliance)
What to Expect During Your Visit
A typical PRP visit may include:
- Clinical assessment to confirm you’re a good candidate
- Preparation and injection (ultrasound-guided)
- Aftercare instructions and activity guidance
- Rehabilitation plan recommendations (often essential for best outcomes)
Your provider may advise a short period of modified activity followed by a structured strengthening and mobility program depending on the treated area.
Aftercare: How to Maximize Your Results
PRP works best when paired with smart recovery habits:
- Follow your clinician’s activity restrictions
- Commit to a rehab plan (strength, mobility, stability)
- Avoid “too much too soon” return to sport/exercise
- Prioritize sleep, hydration, and nutrition
If you’re already doing physical therapy, PRP may be coordinated with your rehab timeline.

FAQs
Is PRP painful?
You may feel a quick pinch and pressure. Some soreness afterward can happen depending on the area treated.
How many sessions do I need?
It varies by condition and severity. Some patients need one session; others may be advised a series. Your provider will recommend the right plan.
How soon will I see results?
Timelines differ. Some people notice gradual improvement over weeks as tissue response builds, especially when combined with rehab.
Can I do PRP instead of physical therapy?
Often, PT/rehab is still important. PRP may support recovery, but strengthening and movement retraining usually drive long-term outcomes.
