Hip pain can be frustrating, limiting your ability to walk, sit comfortably, or enjoy your favorite activities. Whether caused by arthritis, a labral tear, or overuse injuries, hip discomfort can greatly affect your quality of life. Fortunately, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy offers a non-surgical, regenerative treatment option that promotes healing from within.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP Therapy uses your body’s own healing properties to repair damaged tissue. A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets—cells that are rich in growth factors. These platelets are then injected into the affected hip joint or soft tissue to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.
Conditions PRP Therapy Can Treat in the Hip
PRP therapy is gaining popularity among orthopedic and sports medicine providers for a variety of hip-related conditions, including:
Hip osteoarthritis
Labral tears
Trochanteric bursitis
Tendinopathies (gluteus medius/minimus tendinitis)
Iliopsoas syndrome
Piriformis syndrome
Post-injury or post-surgical recovery support
Benefits of PRP Therapy for Hip Pain
Natural and drug-free: Uses your own blood—no foreign substances or steroids.
Minimally invasive: Avoid surgery or long recovery times.
Accelerates healing: Encourages tissue regeneration and reduces chronic inflammation.
Pain relief with improved mobility: Many patients notice gradual improvement in pain and joint function within weeks.
What to Expect During PRP Treatment
Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is taken, similar to a routine lab test.
Processing: Platelets are separated using a centrifuge to create a highly concentrated plasma.
Injection: PRP is precisely injected into the damaged area of the hip, often guided by ultrasound for accuracy.
Most patients report improvement within 2 to 6 weeks, with effects continuing to build over the following months. A series of 1–3 injections may be recommended depending on the severity of the condition.
