BIMC Hospital Kuta remains uncompromising in its pursuit of offering the most technologically advanced, less invasive treatments that, ultimately, help the patient recover faster and get back to activities they love. Advanced Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy incorporated into present-day medicine is something we are extremely enthused about-natural and one of the most effective forms of therapy for orthopedic problems.
Perhaps you have chronic joint pain, tendon injuries, or other painful musculoskeletal problems. Let’s review how it works, and what it means to us to offer this therapy at BIMC Kuta.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
PRP is a regenerative therapy that uses your body’s own healing system to repair damaged tissues. To put it simply, we take a small sample of your blood, spin it in a high-speed centrifuge to separate the components, and concentrate the platelets—those incredible cells that play a key role in healing.
The resulting golden liquid is rich in growth factors and cytokines, which are responsible for repairing injuries, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration. When injected directly into an injured area, PRP supercharges your body’s ability to heal itself—naturally and effectively.
How Does PRP Work in Orthopedic Conditions?
We’ve seen amazing results in patients who come to BIMC Hospital Kuta for PRP therapy, particularly those suffering from:
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendonitis (like tennis elbow or jumper’s knee)
- Ligament sprains and muscle injuries
- Rotator cuff tears
- Meniscal damage in the knee
When PRP is injected into the affected joint, tendon, or ligament, it doesn’t just reduce pain—it actually stimulates tissue repair and regeneration. Think of it as giving your body a targeted boost of healing power right where it’s needed most.
We’ve had patients who’ve tried everything—from rest and physical therapy to medications—and then found significant improvement with PRP. It’s especially effective for individuals looking to avoid surgery or for those in post-operative recovery.
Why We Love PRP at BIMC Kuta
We believe in treatments that not only work but also respect the body’s natural healing process. That’s what makes PRP so special—it’s autologous, which means it comes from your own body. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection and speeds up recovery time.
Here at BIMC Kuta, we’ve integrated PRP into our orthopedic services because:
- It’s safe and minimally invasive – No general anesthesia, no major incisions.
- It promotes faster recovery – Many of our patients feel better in just a few weeks.
- It reduces inflammation and pain naturally – Without long-term reliance on medication.
- It improves joint function and mobility – Helping you return to your normal lifestyle.
Our skilled orthopedic specialists combine PRP with customized treatment plans to maximize results, whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic conditions, or looking for preventive care.
The PRP Procedure – What to Expect
When you come in for PRP treatment at BIMC Hospital Kuta, here’s how the process goes.
1. Blood Collection
The first step in the PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) procedure at BIMC Hospital Kuta is simple and quick: we draw a small sample of your blood, much like what’s done during a routine blood test. This is a minimally invasive process and generally causes little to no discomfort.
The amount taken is usually between 10 to 30 milliliters, depending on the treatment area. Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.
2. Centrifugation
After collecting your blood, we place it in a medical centrifuge—a device that spins at high speeds to separate the different components of your blood. During this process, the red and white blood cells are separated from the plasma, leaving behind a highly concentrated layer rich in platelets.
This platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. The full centrifugation step usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
3. Injection
Once the PRP is ready, our skilled specialists inject it directly into the affected area. We use ultrasound or image-guided techniques to ensure precise placement, maximizing the treatment’s effectiveness.
Whether you’re dealing with joint pain, a tendon injury, or another orthopedic issue, this step delivers healing agents right where they’re needed most. The entire procedure typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, and best of all, you can go home the same day—no hospitalization required.
Recovery After PRP Treatment
You might feel some soreness or swelling at the injection site for a couple of days—this is a sign that the healing process has begun. We usually recommend resting the area for a few days, avoiding strenuous activity, and following our post-treatment care instructions.
Most patients begin to notice improvement in pain and function within 2–6 weeks, with continued healing over several months. Some conditions may require a series of injections, depending on the severity and your body’s response.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP?
At BIMC Kuta, we’ll assess your condition thoroughly before recommending PRP. It’s especially beneficial for:
- People with mild to moderate osteoarthritis
- Individuals with sports injuries
- Patients seeking to avoid surgery
- Those looking for natural healing alternatives
However, PRP might not be ideal for everyone. If you have severe joint degeneration, certain blood disorders, or are on blood thinners, we’ll discuss other treatment options that suit you better.
