PRP joint injections
in London.
- Autologous
- Ultrasound-guided
- Alongside a loading programme
PRP joint treatment uses platelets concentrated from your own blood, injected under ultrasound guidance. It is used for mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis and certain tendon conditions, usually one to three sessions, at £750 a session. Request one online and our specialist calls you first, or request a consultation, £50 of which goes towards your first session.
The treatment, step by step
The joint is examined before anything is injected: where the pain sits through the range of movement, what is tender, what the joint does under load. Where the answer changes what we do, diagnostic ultrasound happens in the same room.
A small blood sample is drawn, similar to a routine blood test. The volume depends on the joint and the protocol.
The sample is centrifuged to concentrate the platelets, and the platelet-rich layer is prepared for injection.
PRP is injected into the joint or around the tendon under ultrasound guidance, so the needle reaches the intended tissue. The joint can flare for one to three days; rest it for a few days and avoid strenuous activity.
Candidacy
Who joint PRP suits.
PRP shows promise for mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis and chronic tendinopathy. It is offered as an addition to a supervised loading programme, because the evidence behind exercise is stronger than the evidence behind any injection.
It is not for severe arthritis, acute injuries or infection, and some assessments end without a needle. Where PRP is not the answer, we say so and what is.
- Best for: mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis, chronic tendinopathy
- Not for: severe arthritis, acute injury, infection
- Alongside: a supervised exercise programme
A different product
PRP is not a steroid injection.
The two are frequently confused, and they now cost the same, £750. A corticosteroid injection is one visit. It settles inflammation for weeks rather than months, and repairs nothing. PRP is prepared from your own blood and given as a course of one to three sessions.
We place both under ultrasound, so guidance is not the difference, and neither is the price. What goes into the joint is, and how many visits it takes. Ask which one you are being offered.
- PRP: a course of 1-3 sessions, £750 each
- Steroid: a single guided visit, £750
- Both placed under ultrasound

Frequently asked questions
At The Wellness a session is £750, and a course of three is 10% off. A consultation with the specialist on its own is £150, and £50 of it comes off your first session if you go ahead.
PRP shows promise for mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis and certain chronic tendon conditions. It is not for severe arthritis, acute injuries or infection, and it should be considered alongside standard treatments rather than instead of them.
Yes. Joint PRP is placed under ultrasound guidance, so the needle reaches the intended tissue.
They are different treatments. A corticosteroid injection is a single visit at £695 that settles inflammation for weeks rather than months and repairs nothing. PRP is prepared from your own blood and given as a course. The evidence behind PRP is thinner than the evidence behind exercise, which is why we offer it as an addition to a loading programme.
Our specialist PRP doctor, and only them. Request a session online and they will call you first, or book the joint consultation to be examined before deciding.
The joint can flare for one to three days. Rest it for a few days, take paracetamol rather than anti-inflammatories, and avoid strenuous activity until it settles. The loading programme then resumes.
Usually one to three injections, decided at the assessment. Results can last up to 12 months, and a top-up is considered at 6 to 12 months. Some assessments end without a needle: where a loading programme deserves twelve weeks first, we say so rather than selling a course.
