PRP Treatment for Hip Pain and Tendon Injuries
Hip pain can develop from multiple causes — including arthritis, tendinopathy, or overuse injuries. PRP therapy is particularly effective in the hip joint and surrounding soft tissues because it targets inflammation and stimulates repair.
This treatment may be suitable if you:
Have persistent hip pain not relieved by physiotherapy or medication
Are looking to delay or avoid surgery
Suffer from early-stage arthritis or cartilage wear
Have tendon inflammation in or around the hip joint
The PRP Injections Procedure: What to Expect
The Procedure
A 15 ml blood sample is taken from your arm — just like a standard blood test
The sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma
The extracted PRP is injected into your hip joint or surrounding tendons using ultrasound or Xray image guidance
The treatment is usually performed as a series of three injections, spaced two weeks apart
The entire process takes place in-clinic and usually takes 30–60 minutes.
You should however arrive 1 hour before your appointment to allow time for your blood to be taken, be very hydrated eg have drunk 1-2 Litres of water that day and should also keep away from any NSAID (Non steroidal anti-inflammatory) medication for 2 weeks before and after your PRP hip injection as these medications can reduce the number of platelets harvested.
The body’s healing response is triggered by platelets, which contain growth factors that:
Initiate repair of damaged tissues
Regulate inflammation
Stimulate the production of new collagen and cartilage cells
Enhance circulation in the affected area.
By concentrating these platelets and injecting them directly into the painful hip, PRP therapy supports the body’s natural healing in a focused and powerful way — especially valuable for patients with degenerative joint conditions.
Many patients experience noticeable pain reduction and improved movement within a few weeks of starting treatment. Some of the benefits of PRP injections for the hip include:
Improved joint function and flexibility
Less stiffness and inflammation
Reduced reliance on painkillers
Avoidance or delay of surgical procedures
While individual results vary, the treatment is backed by promising clinical research and is commonly used by orthopaedic specialists worldwide.
