Overuse injuries occur when repetitive motion places ongoing stress on muscles, tendons, or ligaments, leading to inflammation and micro-tearing. Common examples include runner’s knee, jumper’s knee, and repetitive strain injuries in athletes or active individuals.
Other common overuse injuries include plantar fasciitis, and shin splints. PRP can help to reduce pain in these conditions.
PRP therapy helps address the underlying tissue damage rather than just masking symptoms. The injected platelets release growth factors that promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue resilience.
This makes PRP an effective option for patients with chronic overuse injuries who have not found relief with rest, physical therapy, or anti-inflammatory treatments.
