PRP injection or cortisone injection? - Which is the best option?
PRP and cortisone differ in their therapeutic concepts. Cortisone is used medically for local anti-inflammatory treatment and short-term symptom control. PRP is derived from the patient's own blood and is discussed within the context of biological therapy concepts. Suitable PRP tubes, an appropriate centrifuge, defined RCF values, and a reproducible protocol are important for PRP preparation. The decision between PRP and cortisone depends on the diagnosis, tissue, inflammatory activity, and medical indication.
