PRP Hip Injections in London

What are Steroid Hip Injections

At The West London Knee & Hip Clinic, we offer consultant-led PRP hip injections for patients experiencing hip pain, inflammation or early-stage arthritis. This regenerative, non-surgical treatment uses your body’s own healing potential to support joint health, reduce pain and improve function.

PRP hip injections are commonly used for early osteoarthritis, bursitis and soft tissue conditions around the hip, particularly for patients looking to delay or avoid surgery.

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), also known as Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP), is a treatment derived from your own blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair, inflammation control and healing.

 

PRP therapy is widely used in orthopaedics and sports medicine to help reduce pain, improve joint function and support recovery in degenerative or overuse-related conditions.

How PRP Injections Work

Platelets contain biologically active growth factors that help initiate tissue repair, regulate inflammation and support regeneration of cartilage and soft tissues.

During PRP treatment, platelets are concentrated and injected directly into the hip joint or surrounding structures under image guidance. This allows healing signals to be delivered precisely where they are needed, supporting the body’s natural repair mechanisms in a targeted way.

 

PRP is particularly effective for patients with early or moderate joint degeneration where preserving native joint tissue is a priority.

Treatment benefits

Benefits of PRP Hip Injections

  • Uses your own blood, minimising risk of allergic reaction
  • Reduces pain and inflammation in the hip joint
  • May improve mobility and daily function
  • Supports cartilage and soft tissue healing
  • Can delay or reduce the need for surgery
  • Minimal downtime with rapid return to activity

For some patients, PRP may form part of a wider Ortholongevity™ approach focused on preserving joint function and delaying or avoiding surgery.

Key Information About PRP Treatment

PRP treatment is not a single “one-size-fits-all” injection. The preparation method, platelet concentration and treatment plan are tailored to your diagnosis, symptoms and goals.

PRP hip injections are often delivered as a course of treatment, typically involving a series of injections spaced over several weeks, depending on clinical findings.

Potential Side Effects

PRP hip injections are considered very safe, as the treatment uses your own blood. However, as with any injection, potential side effects can include:

 

  • Mild pain or bruising at the injection site
  • Temporary increase in soreness for 24–48 hours
  • Very small risk of infection

 

Serious complications are rare. Your consultant will discuss suitability and risks with you before treatment.

What to Expect From Treatment

  • A small blood sample is taken from your arm
  • The blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets
  • PRP is injected into the hip joint or surrounding tissue using ultrasound or X-ray guidance
  • The procedure takes around 30–60 minutes
  • Most patients return to normal daily activity within 24–48 hours

You’ll be advised to avoid anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs) before and after treatment, as these can interfere with platelet activity.
