Melbourne PRP Injections for Joint Pain & Sports Injuries
Doctors consulting at Australian Sports Doctors (ASD) are able to offer PRP injections. Sports GPs in Melbourne are dedicated to assessing and managing all musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries.
Doctors at ASD will carefully assess your condition and work with you to offer a comprehensive management plan. They may also assess suitability for treatment with PRP injections (Platelet Rich Plasma) for joint pain or tendon injuries. Not all conditions may be suitable for injection and some circumstances require off-site radiology referral. Booking a consultation cannot guarantee suitability for injection but is required to assess suitability.
Common conditions our doctors may offer on-site evidence-based PRP injections for include:
- Knee Pain – Osteoarthritis, Degenerative meniscal tear [1-3]
- Elbow pain – Tennis elbow, Golfers elbow [4, 5]
- Heel pain – Plantar fasciitis [6,7]
Other conditions with emerging evidence that may be suitable for PRP injections include:
- Hip pain – Gluteal tendinopathy[8], Hip arthritis [9]
- Shoulder pain – Rotator cuff tear or tendinopathy [10]
- Ankle pain – Achilles tendinopathy [11-14]
In cases where PRP injections may not be suitable or not able to be performed on-site, ASD doctors may also refer you to our extended network of reputable specialists including orthopaedic surgeons, radiologist, pain specialists, and other physical therapists that they work closely with.
ASD is open Monday – Fridays 9am to 5pm. Our after hours weekday and Saturday clinics run intermittently – subject to staff and practitioner availability.
