At Harley Street Joint Care Medical, we provide advanced, minimally invasive treatments to help our patients manage pain and improve mobility. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Joint Injections are an innovative regenerative therapy designed to alleviate joint pain and support natural healing. This therapy is particularly beneficial for those experiencing pain due to osteoarthritis, sports injuries, or chronic joint conditions. Our London-based clinic offers PRP Joint Injections as a safe and effective solution for long-term joint relief and improved function.

What are PRP Joint Injections?

PRP Joint Injections use platelet-rich plasma, a component derived from the patient’s own blood, to stimulate the body’s natural healing process within affected joints. PRP contains a high concentration of growth factors and proteins that accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. By injecting PRP directly into the affected joint, we can enhance the body’s ability to repair damaged cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, providing relief from pain and improved mobility.

PRP Joint Injections are commonly used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and chronic joint pain in areas like the knees, shoulders, hips, and elbows.

How PRP Therapy Works for Joint Pain

The PRP process starts by taking a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to isolate and concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is injected directly into the joint, where it stimulates cellular repair and tissue regeneration. The growth factors within PRP help to reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and provide long-lasting pain relief.

Since PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, the treatment is both safe and natural, minimising the risk of adverse reactions. Over time, many patients experience a significant reduction in pain, improved joint stability, and enhanced mobility.

What to Expect During Your PRP Joint Injection Treatment

The PRP Joint Injection process at Harley Street Joint Care Medical is efficient and designed to provide a smooth, comfortable experience for our patients.

Initial Consultation and Assessment: We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. This step allows our clinicians to determine if PRP is the right solution for your specific joint condition.
Blood Collection and PRP Preparation: A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets. This PRP preparation is carefully examined to ensure it is of the highest quality and concentration.
Targeted Injection and Aftercare: The PRP is injected directly into the affected joint using advanced imaging technology for precise placement. After the injection, our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support recovery and maximise the benefits of the treatment.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for PRP Joint Injections?

PRP Joint Injections are suitable for adults with joint pain due to osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, or ligament damage. It is an excellent option for patients looking to avoid surgery and seeking a natural, long-term solution for joint pain.

The change is remarkable. I had been to see Mike for physiotherapy some years ago but whilst training for the great north run i started with a knee injury. I have moved to Newcastle now but the problem wouldn't go away. I called Mike as he'd helped me in the past and saw his website offering cortisone by coincidence. Beware of using other cortisone "specialists" who charge much less. This is the only clinic who employ specialist pain consultants and offer ultrasound guided injections. I wouldn't let anyone else treat me.

3 days before the London Marathon I was in agony with a serious inflammation of the hip flexor area (Iliopsoas Bursitis). I could barely walk. I can't describe the feeling of dejection and frustration I felt after so many months of training. I went to see Mike Squirrell and Joel Key with little hope. They made it happen for me thanks to their sound advice, expert treatment and a cortisone injection aka "the magic gun". Thanks to Mike and Joel I was able to run the marathon in 3:41h, bang in line with the time range I had in mind. Amazing!

I was suffering from heel pain and achilles tendinitis for 6 months which was stopping me from competing in traithlons. I had tried orthotics, physio, new shoes, acupuncture and everything. Mike cleared up the symptoms almost immediatelt with a combinatin of laser and cortisone therapy. I f it wasn’t for him I may have had the pain for the rest of my life – truly a life-saver!!

Don't review normally but wanted to thank Laura for all her time discussing my problem with me and putting me back on track for my marathon preparation. If it weren't for you I wouldn't be running this year.

I wouldn't use any other clinic in London. Their knowledge and experience is far beyond the other 2 clinics i have used in the past. They are a little more expensive but it's worth it for the knowledge and experienced team you get. I wouldn't be able to run in this years london marathon without them.

Laura is a great Physio and really takes her time to explain everything in detail. The injections I’ve had have really helped me get over the line on some sporting events.

I tried a different clinic who were much cheaper 2 months prior before coming to this clinic. Their service was far rougher and felt rushed in comparison. I loved the follow up calls to see how I was doing and the clinic itself is very nice and the staff were really pleasant.

Mike is very professional and spent a long time discussing the issues I was having. After the first ultrasound cortisone injection 2 days later the pain had reduced massively. 2 weeks later i have no more problems.

#1 cortisone clinic by far. Tried another clinic I found on Facebook but didn't see the results I wanted sadly. Without Florence I wouldn't have been able to complete in last years London marathon.

Mike's injection into my lower lumbar spine changed everything. I had 3 months of agony, sometimes 10/10 pain and my NHS GP and physio seeing me within 2 days, but then telling me that, even though I appear to have herniated discs, I can't have an MRI confirming it for 3-5 months or a pain specialist appt, most likely to inject cortisone, for about 5 months. So I paid for a private MRI that confirmed 2 herniations and then started doing research for a private injection. The cost was typically between £2800 and £3500 incl. prior consultation and the injection - I just couldn't afford this. Then I found Mike and Cortisone London, who charge so much less. I emailed on the Sunday (in despair) and was seen and injected the following day (having brought my MRI scan CD). 3 days of flare-up followed, then a 2-week plateau and then it started working on Day 13. And, I cannot put into words how it feels to go from 7/10 up to 10/10 pain daily to almost none. My friends say I shine with euphoria. Now I can go swimming and do Pilates to help heal and prevent this happening again. Thank you so much.
