PRP and Prolotherapy Pain Relief Treatments on the Sunshine Coast

Suffering from Joint Pain?

If you’re suffering from joint pain, Dr. David Pratt on the Sunshine Coast can help. He offers effective treatments that provide relief for joint pain, including PRP, Prolotherapy, and Viscosupplementation. These treatments are non-surgical and can help reduce pain, heal damage, and improve movement in your joints.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP injections use a sample of your own blood. First, the platelets are concentrated. Then, they are injected into the painful area. These platelets release growth factors that reduce inflammation and support tissue repair.

Patients often choose PRP injections for:

• Knee arthritis and knee pain

• Tendon injuries

• Shoulder pain

• Tennis elbow

• Ligament injuries

PRP works well when tissue damage or slow healing causes pain. By targeting the source, it helps improve function and reduce discomfort.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy treatment uses a natural dextrose solution instead of blood. This solution stimulates a mild healing response in weakened ligaments and tendons. Over time, this can help strengthen these structures and improve joint stability.

Prolotherapy injections are commonly used for:

• Joint instability

• Chronic ligament pain

• Back and neck pain

• Shoulder pain

• Long-standing musculoskeletal pain

Prolotherapy treatment is often recommended when joint instability or ligament weakness is contributing to pain.

Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation is a treatment that helps improve joint lubrication and reduce pain, particularly in arthritic joints.

This treatment involves injecting a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid into the joint. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in healthy joints and helps lubricate and cushion movement. However, in arthritis and joint degeneration, this natural lubrication is often reduced.

Viscosupplementation injections help restore this lubrication. This can:

• Reduce friction within the joint

• Improve joint movement

• Reduce pain and stiffness

• Improve daily function

Viscosupplementation is most commonly used for knee arthritis, but may also be helpful for other joints, including the shoulder.

Many patients choose viscosupplementation injections as a non-surgical option to help manage arthritis symptoms and improve quality of life.

At Sunshine Regenerative, Dr David Pratt provides viscosupplementation as part of a personalised regenerative treatment plan.
