PRP Therapy in Kathmandu: What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment & Who Benefits Most
KEY FACT
PRP therapy uses your own blood to heal your own body — there is no risk of rejection, no synthetic drugs, and no surgery. MT Hospital is one of the very few clinics in Nepal offering USG-guided (ultrasound-guided) PRP injections for maximum precision and safety.What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy — also called plasma therapy — is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that harnesses the healing power of your own blood to repair damaged tendons, joints, and soft tissues. PRP is used by elite athletes and orthopaedic specialists worldwide, and is now available at Manual Therapy Hospital in Kathmandu.
The procedure works by drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets (which contain powerful growth factors), and then injecting this concentrated plasma directly into the injured tissue. The growth factors stimulate the body’s natural repair processes at a cellular level — accelerating healing that would otherwise take months.
What Conditions Does PRP Treat?
- Knee pain and osteoarthritis (OA Knee) — reduces inflammation and stimulates cartilage repair
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow — regenerates damaged tendon fibres
- Rotator cuff injuries and shoulder pain — promotes tendon healing without surgery
- Plantar fasciitis — heals the inflamed plantar fascia
- Achilles tendinopathy — repairs Achilles tendon degeneration
- Hip pain and hip bursitis
- Chronic back pain where disc degeneration is present
- Sports injuries with ligament or tendon damage
What Makes MT Hospital’s PRP Different?
USG-Guided (Ultrasound-Guided) Injection
Many clinics give PRP injections ‘blind’ — without imaging guidance. At MT Hospital, our PRP injections are performed under ultrasound guidance (USG). This means the doctor can see exactly where the needle goes in real time, ensuring the plasma is delivered precisely to the damaged tissue. This significantly increases accuracy, safety, and treatment outcomes.
Performed by a Senior Orthopaedic Specialist
PRP at MT Hospital is administered by a Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon & Manual Therapy Specialist — not by a junior technician.
Combined with Physiotherapy
PRP works best when combined with physiotherapy. At MT Hospital, we design a post-PRP rehabilitation programme alongside each injection, maximising the healing response and restoring full function.
Is PRP Safe?
Yes. PRP is one of the safest medical procedures available because it uses your own blood — there is zero risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The main side effects are mild soreness at the injection site for 24–48 hours, which is a normal part of the healing process.
How Many PRP Sessions Are Needed?
Most conditions require 1–3 PRP injections, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Knee osteoarthritis typically responds well to 2–3 injections, while tendon injuries often need just 1–2. Your doctor will recommend the appropriate protocol after assessment.
