Joints, tendons, and bursae
Most commonly hip and knee arthritis where there is still cartilage to work with, and the bursal and tendon problems around those joints. The full list, and who PRP is and is not likely to help, is on the regenerative medicine page.
What it costs, and what happens
$800 per injection · recommended course of two, two weeks apart
PRP is considered investigational, so insurance doesn’t cover it — but it is eligible for FSA and HSA funds.
- A board-certified orthopedic surgeon performs the injection, not a technician
- An honest answer about whether PRP is likely to help your particular joint
For the full picture — how PRP works, who it helps, what the evidence does and doesn’t support, and how it compares with cortisone and with replacement — see regenerative medicine and PRP.
