What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to support your body's natural healing response. Because PRP is created from your own blood, it is an autologous treatment designed to work with your body's natural biological processes.
Platelets Naturally Contain:
These platelets contain growth factors and bioactive proteins that help coordinate tissue repair and healing. The procedure is clinical, sterile, and structured to maximize biologic efficacy.

Conditions Commonly Evaluated for PRP Therapy
Depending on the diagnosis, PRP therapy may be considered for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
Osteoarthritis
PRP is commonly evaluated for patients experiencing knee osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, shoulder arthritis, and ankle arthritis.
Sports Injuries
Athletes and active adults frequently seek PRP therapy for injuries involving tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
Tendon Disorders
Common tendon conditions include Tennis elbow, Golfer's elbow, Rotator cuff tendinopathy, Patellar tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, and Gluteal tendinopathy.
Ligament Injuries
PRP may be considered for selected patients with partial ligament injuries as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
Chronic Joint Pain
Persistent pain involving the knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, or ankles may also be evaluated to determine whether PRP therapy is appropriate. Pain may originate from multiple local structures.
Why Harlem Residents Seek PRP Therapy
Many Harlem residents lead active lifestyles that place ongoing demands on their joints and soft tissues.
Whether you're commuting throughout Manhattan, exercising in Marcus Garvey Park or Central Park, participating in recreational sports, or working physically demanding jobs, chronic orthopedic pain can interfere with your quality of life.
Patients often search for PRP because they are looking for alternatives to long-term pain medications, repeated corticosteroid injections, activity limitations, or surgery when appropriate.
Easy Access from Harlem
Located at 240 West 73rd Street, our clinic is highly accessible from all parts of Harlem. My goal is to help each patient understand all available treatment options before making a decision.
Image-Guided PRP Therapy
Accuracy is one of the most important aspects of successful PRP treatment. Effective regenerative medicine begins with an accurate diagnosis, as pain may originate from cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, bursae, or even the spine.
When clinically appropriate, I use ultrasound guidance to visualize the affected tissue and precisely deliver PRP to the intended treatment area.
"These findings are correlated with your physical examination to develop a personalized treatment strategy."
— Dr. Sonali Lal, M.D.My Comprehensive Evaluation Process
