PRP Treatment Notice: Platelet-rich plasma injections are not a proven cure for joint pain, and research results on their effectiveness are mixed. Possible side effects include temporary pain, swelling, and stiffness at the injection site and, rarely, infection. PRP may not be appropriate for people with blood or platelet disorders, active infection, active cancer, or those taking blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications that may need to be paused.
