We are introducing a next generation injection procedure to our practice, which can help treat a range of orthopaedic conditions.
Plasma Rich Platelet therapy, essentially accelerates and aids the healing of injured tissues over the body by first taking blood from the patient. This gets placed in a machine to separate the blood into the different types of blood cells and further separate the platelet rich part to be mixed with local anaesthetic. This is prepared in an injection to be injected into the area of the injury.
Conditions that we can treat:
- Tennis Elbow
- Knee Arthritis
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Rotator Cuff Tears
- Shoulder Arthritis
- Golfer’s Elbow
- Impingement Syndrome Of The Shoulder
The Benefits:
- Your own blood is used therefore there is no risk of any disease transmission.
- May eliminate the needs for more aggressive treatments, such as long term medication or surgery.
- A remarkable return of function to the injured area.
- Shorter recovery times.
How does it work?
Blood is a lot more than just a red liquid running through your arteries and vessels, it is in fact a very complex tissue. It contains six different types of cells all of which have different functions varying from carrying blood cells around the body to producing antibodies to give us immunity to disease. However, platelet rich plasma therapy is solely concerned with the platelets in the blood. Platelets are the smallest cells and responsible for releasing chemicals to make the blood clot and initiate repair.
The body’s first response to a soft tissue injury is to deliver platelet cells, therefore PRP jump starts and significantly strengthens the body’s natural healing process by increasing the concentration of platelets and growth factors at the site of injury by up to 500%, that’s five times the normal number of platelets/growth factors.
Why Combine Focused & Radial Shockwave?
While some clinics offer just one type, at Levitas, we combine both focused and radial shockwave therapy in each session. Why?
- Focused shockwave penetrates deeper, making it ideal for tendons, calcifications, and chronic inflammation.
- Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area — perfect for releasing muscle tension and aiding in muscle recovery.
Together, this dual-modality approach enhances tissue healing from the inside out. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to treat both superficial and deep pain effectively — and that’s why our outcomes are consistently better.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Muscle Recovery
Shockwave therapy is not only for injury — it’s also a powerful tool for post-exercise recovery and sports rehabilitation. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just trying to stay active, the benefits include:
- Faster recovery from intense workouts
- Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
- Improved circulation to fatigued muscles
- Loosening of tight fascia and trigger points
- Enhanced performance and injury prevention
If you’re in Wimbledon, Knightsbridge, or Guildford, our local clinics can support your recovery journey without disrupting your routine.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Medical Assessment: Your treatment is led by a doctor, not just a technician. We diagnose your issue thoroughly.
