ACHILLES HILL

• Delivering growth factors that stimulate the healing of tendon fibers

• Reducing chronic inflammation in and around the tendon

• Boosting collagen production, which helps strengthen the tendon

• Improving blood flow and tissue regeneration in areas with poor circulation

1. Blood Draw
   A small sample of your blood is taken, usually from your arm.

2. Centrifugation
   The blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.

3. Injection
   The PRP is injected into and around the damaged area of the Achilles tendon, often with ultrasound guidance to ensure precision.

4. Recovery

• You may be advised to rest or limit activity for a few days

• Rehab and gradual physical therapy usually follow

• Full benefits may take weeks to months as tissue heals

​

• PRP may be effective for chronic Achilles tendinopathy, especially when:

• Traditional treatments (like NSAIDs or physical therapy) haven't helped

• There's degeneration but no full tear

• Many patients report improved pain and function after 1–3 injections

• It may reduce the need for surgery in some cases

However:

• PRP is not always a quick fix — healing is gradual

• Results vary depending on severity and individual biology

• You have chronic Achilles pain (tendinosis or tendinitis)

• You’ve tried rest, physical therapy, or orthotics with limited success

• You want a non-surgical, natural treatment

• You're active and want to return to sports or fitness

• You don’t have a full rupture (complete tendon tears usually need surgery)
