FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is PRP covered by insurance?
Currently, most insurance plans do not cover PRP therapy as it is considered investigational. The cost is typically ₹8,000-15,000 per injection.
How many PRP injections do I need?
Most conditions require 1-3 injections, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Some patients see benefit from a single injection.
Is PRP better than cortisone?
For chronic tendon problems, PRP has shown better long-term results than cortisone in several studies. Cortisone provides faster initial relief but may weaken tissue over time.
