I-PRF in Traumatology

At PRF Clinic, we provide healing using modern, patient-friendly methods.

The I-PRF method (platelet-rich fibrin) promotes the regeneration of damaged tissues (cartilage, bone, connective tissue), relieves pain, and heals inflammatory processes.

After completing the injection course, the condition of problematic joints or tendons will improve significantly.

If surgery was previously planned, in many cases it will either be canceled or postponed by several years. Our traumatologists, utilizing the unique healing properties of the PRF method, will significantly improve your health and quality of life.

In collaboration with you, and with your loving care for your body and blood composition, we will achieve excellent results – a life free from pain and discomfort!

The most common indications for treatment with PRF are osteoarthritis and arthrosis, osteochondropathies, ligament injuries, bursitis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, lateral epicondylitis, chronic rotator cuff tears, stenosing ligamentitis, Achilles tendon inflammation, and others.

I-PRF in Traumatology

Using I-PRF in traumatology promotes the regeneration of cartilage and connective tissues and the healing of defects.

This is achieved through a concentrate of cells activated during the centrifugation process, which restores damaged tissues.

PRF therapy activates your body’s natural healing processes, helping to regenerate damaged tissues faster, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain.

It is especially effective therapy not only for joint inflammations (arthritis) but also for fractures, sprains, and other muscle and bone injuries.

Thanks to the release of growth factors, tissue vascularization is enhanced, along with the synthesis of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, resulting in a stable, long-term tissue regeneration process (bone and soft tissues) without side effects.

  • Before the procedure, a small amount of blood (maximum 26 ml) is drawn from the patient into sterile vacutainers and centrifuged under specific conditions, resulting in the separation of blood components into fractions.
  • The upper fraction, containing activated platelets, leukocytes, fibrin, and stem cells (from peripheral blood circulation), is used for injection or application.
  • After injection or application, the activated platelets and leukocytes, embedded in a three-dimensional fibrin matrix, gradually release growth factors for up to 28 days.

Completing a full treatment course of 3 to 4 sessions (once a month, every 28 days) achieves long-term results.

This approach accelerates the healing process, reduces pain, and promotes faster recovery. Thanks to the release of growth factors, it enhances:

– tissue vascularization;
– synthesis of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid.

I-PRF therapy is a simple, safe, and natural treatment option that utilizes your body’s own biological resources. PRF therapy helps avoid the use of chemical substances, providing effective and individually tailored treatment.

At PRF Clinic, we care about your health, ensuring the highest quality of treatment and comfort!

Medical research, as well as our accumulated experience in traumatology since 2014, has demonstrated that PRF injections effectively reduce pain, restore damaged tissues and function, and support the healing process with long-term results.

  • tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) – inflammation of the tendons common in athletes (tennis, badminton, squash) and manual workers who perform repetitive, uniform movements of the wrist joint (e.g., computer work)
  • osteoarthritis – chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by progressive destruction of articular cartilage and the formation of new bone growths (osteophytes)
  • tendinopathies – inflammation or tears of tendons caused by joint overload, sudden sports or everyday injuries, or aging
  • Fracture sites with weak or delayed healing processes, requiring stimulation of regeneration, blood supply, and prevention of degenerative processes
  • rheumatic pain in finger joints, pain and deformity at the base of the thumb (often due to prolonged computer work causing inflammation of the thumb tendon) or finger injuries
  • trochanteritis – inflammation of the soft tissues around the hip joint caused by overload of the thigh muscles (due to long-distance walking, cycling, running) and excess weight, leading to strain and inflammation of the ligaments and tendons around the joint

     

  • For various reasons, people with coxarthrosis (hip joint osteoarthritis) may be unable to undergo surgery — hip endoprosthesis. PRF injections help to delay surgery painlessly or postpone it as long as possible!

     

  • Dr. Janis Dobelnieks: “The problem usually begins with pain in the groin. Sometimes the pain radiates to the knee joint, but not always. The pain is accompanied by limited movement and difficulty with self-care activities (such as removing socks or cutting nails). PRF injections are administered in the hip joint area, thereby healing the inflammation, reducing pain, improving function, and increasing range of motion. The injections are not a substitute for hip endoprosthesis surgery, but PRF treatment can delay the surgery and significantly improve quality of life!”
  • prolonged, strenuous, and repetitive work or long-term overload of the hand can cause stenosing ligamentitis, also known as “trigger finger”

  • early symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include burning sensations and pain in the third and half of the fourth finger, mostly at night. In the morning, the fingers may be swollen and numb. Difficulty grasping and holding small objects is common. The cause is nerve compression due to repetitive, prolonged movements that overload the hand and fingers, resulting in thickening of the carpal ligament, which presses on the nerve. Thanks to PRF’s anti-inflammatory action, swelling, pressure, and pain are reduced
  • Achilles tendonitis – inflammation of the Achilles tendon, often can become a painful condition and limiting physical activity

  • ganglion cyst – changes in a joint or tendon appearing as soft, round lumps filled with mucous fluid, surrounded by thickened fibrous tissue (sometimes very firm to the touch). Most ganglion cysts develop in the wrist joint but can also occur in other wrist joints, ankle, and foot
  • spondylosis, spondyloarthrosis, facet joint arthritis, myofascial pain syndrome, etc.
