At Harley Street Joint Care Medical in London, we are committed to offering effective, non-surgical treatments for chronic pain and mobility issues. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment designed to address pain and inflammation by using the body’s own healing abilities. Our PRP Spinal Injections provide targeted relief for back pain, neck pain, and other spinal issues, giving patients a natural, minimally invasive solution to improve comfort and mobility.

What are PRP Spinal Injections?

PRP Spinal Injections use platelet-rich plasma, derived from the patient’s own blood, to stimulate healing and repair in the affected spinal area. Platelets contain growth factors and healing proteins that help repair tissue and reduce inflammation. By concentrating these healing components and injecting them directly into the damaged area of the spine, PRP therapy can support tissue regeneration, improve spinal stability, and provide long-term pain relief.

PRP Spinal Injections are commonly used to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, facet joint syndrome, and chronic neck and back pain.

How PRP Therapy Works for Spinal Conditions

The PRP process begins by drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to separate and concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is injected into the precise area of the spine where pain and inflammation are present. The PRP encourages tissue repair by stimulating cell growth, reducing inflammation, and enhancing blood flow to the affected area.

PRP therapy is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities, making it an attractive alternative to surgery or long-term medication use for many patients.

What to Expect During Your PRP Spinal Injection Treatment

Our PRP Spinal Injection process at Harley Street Joint Care Medical is designed to be safe, efficient, and personalised to each patient’s unique needs.

Consultation and Assessment: During your initial consultation, our clinicians will discuss your medical history, assess your symptoms, and determine if PRP therapy is the most suitable treatment for you.
PRP Preparation: A small amount of your blood will be drawn and processed using a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This PRP preparation is then carefully examined to ensure its concentration and quality.
Precise Injection and Aftercare: The PRP is injected directly into the targeted spinal area. Our clinicians use advanced imaging technology to guide the injection, ensuring accurate placement and maximum effectiveness. After the procedure, our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for PRP Spinal Injections?

PRP Spinal Injections are suitable for adults experiencing chronic back or neck pain due to conditions like disc degeneration, joint dysfunction, or soft tissue inflammation. It is also an effective treatment option for patients who wish to avoid surgery or prolonged use of pain medications. However, patients with certain medical conditions, such as blood disorders, may not be suitable candidates for PRP. Our clinical team will conduct a thorough assessment during your consultation to confirm if PRP therapy is right for you.

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.
