Sports injuries range from acute sprains and tears to overuse tendinopathy and joint irritation. Treatment should reflect the injured tissue, injury grade, sport demands, timing, and the athlete’s functional goals.
PRP has its clearest support in selected chronic tendon problems, while findings for acute muscle injury, ligament injury, and surgical augmentation are more variable. Prolotherapy and bone-marrow-derived preparations are also offered, but evidence should be reviewed by diagnosis rather than under a single sports-injury label.
A sports-medicine plan should combine the procedure, when appropriate, with progressive rehabilitation and objective return-to-sport testing. Ask about the diagnosis, evidence, preparation, image guidance, expected timeline, and criteria for resuming training and competition.
