PRP for Joint Pain
PRP is one of the best-supported regenerative options for joint and tendon pain — concentrating your own growth factors where cartilage and connective tissue need repair. In Scottsdale, Dr. Luca Lioce, NMD at Vita Sana Medical Center treats knees, shoulders, hips, and elbows with PRP, often combined with prolotherapy for stability or A2M therapy for cartilage protection.

Which joint problems respond to PRP
- Knee osteoarthritis (mild to moderate)
- Patellar and Achilles tendinopathy
- Rotator cuff and shoulder pain
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Hip pain and gluteal tendinopathy
- Ankle sprains that never fully healed
Why combine treatments
A painful joint is rarely one problem: cartilage wear, ligament laxity, and inflammation feed each other. Dr. Lioce maps all three at your exam — PRP for tissue repair, prolotherapy to tighten lax ligaments, A2M to slow cartilage breakdown, and Prolozone for pain and inflammation. Treating the pattern, not just the sore spot, is what makes results last.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can PRP help me avoid knee surgery?
For mild-to-moderate arthritis and many tendon problems, PRP meaningfully reduces pain and improves function — often delaying or avoiding surgery. Advanced joint destruction may still need surgical care; Dr. Lioce is candid about which is which.
How many PRP sessions for a joint?
Commonly one to three sessions, several weeks apart, guided by your response.
