I went to Doctor Abbasi after going to physical therapy for 30 sessions for a medial meniscus tear. The physical therapy definitely helped build strength but still had reduced range of motion and pain for my sport activity which is dancing (ballet, jazz). I wanted to give physical therapy a chance before considering PRP. After speaking with Dr Abbasi who is expertly knowledgeable, I decided to do my first round of PRP. It truly was a breeze, thanks to his medical assistants Karla and Kayla who assisted. Doctor Abassi is a pro at doing PRP. For me, it was as easy as getting a flu shot.. I went back a month later for follow up and concluded my improvement was about 50 to 60% better for pain and overall mobility. I can now sit down in a squat position with both knees to put on my dog’s leash as well as do some yoga movements which I could not do before like a yogi squat. I also have more mobility in my affected knee during dance classes. Dr. Abassi explained that a second round of PRP would likely benefit based on the many patients he has seen and also his own personal experience with PRP. Although there are no guarantees, I feel that it’s worth it in the long run for my quality of life and being able to continue my passion for dance In my retirement. I had my second PRP today and hoping for even more improvement.The office is impeccable and the staff caring and competent. Worth looking into especially if your injury is holding you back from what you love to do or affecting daily routine.

PRP Injections for Joint Pain
Platelets have two remarkable abilities: they help your blood clot, and they carry growth factors involved in tissue repair. PRP concentrates them from your own blood and delivers them to the injured joint or tendon, where those growth factors may help support repair and ease pain. Dr. Abbasi offers this treatment in Delray Beach and is board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. He evaluates the joint, reviews your imaging and performs the injection in one office visit.
Conditions Commonly Relieved by PRP
Knee Osteoarthritis
Gradual wear of the knee's cartilage, and the most widely studied use of PRP.
Tennis and Golfer's Elbow
Tendon pain on the outer or inner elbow, often caused by repetitive gripping.
Tendon Injuries
Including injuries involving the rotator cuff, patellar tendon or Achilles.
Sprains and Strains
Soft-tissue injuries around a joint or muscle that remain slow to settle.
Sports Injuries
Overuse or impact injuries related to training and competition.
Persistent Joint Symptoms
Ongoing pain, stiffness or swelling that limits movement.

“In our experience, the majority of our patients report significant improvement in joint pain within the first month.”

What Is PRP?
Ask About a ConsultationPRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated preparation of platelets suspended in plasma, the liquid portion of your blood. Platelets help form blood clots, and they also carry growth factors—proteins involved in the body's response to injury.
When platelets are activated, they release growth factors that act as signals to other cells. In laboratory studies, these signals have influenced the movement and multiplication of cells involved in tissue repair. PRP concentrates this source of signaling proteins for injection at the treatment site.
A small sample of your blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. Dr. Abbasi injects the preparation at the site of the injury under ultrasound guidance during the same office visit. Because PRP comes from your own blood, the risk of a reaction is low.

Common Questions
How long does the visit take?
PRP is completed in a single office visit. Your consultation and treatment plan determine the exact timing.
Does the procedure hurt?
The procedure involves a standard blood draw and a brief injection. Afterward, you walk out of the office.
What are growth factors?
Proteins carried by platelets that are involved in the body's natural tissue repair. PRP concentrates the platelets that carry them.
How is PRP made?
A small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge in the office, which separates the platelets from the red blood cells. What remains is a concentrate with several times the platelets of ordinary blood, carried in plasma, the liquid part of blood.
What does autologous mean?
From your own body. PRP is autologous: it is made from your own blood.
How many injections will I need?
Usually one to three, depending on the size of the joint and how you respond.
Should I avoid anti-inflammatories or ice?
Where possible, yes. Avoid anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen and naproxen, and ice, around the injection.
When can I get back to normal?
Take it easy that day. Full activity is usually allowed the next day, depending on the joint and the problem treated, and Physical Therapy is often recommended alongside PRP. Call the office if pain, swelling or limping develops.
How soon might I notice a change?
Response varies from person to person. Improvement is often assessed during the first month and may continue to develop afterward. No outcome can be guaranteed.
How is PRP different from Stem Cell Therapy?
PRP is prepared from your blood and uses platelets that release growth factors; it does not contain stem cells. Stem Cell Therapy uses cells from bone marrow or donated cord tissue. Your examination helps determine which option, if either, is appropriate.
Can I have PRP if I might need surgery later?
Yes. If surgery becomes necessary, it is performed by Dr. Abbasi.
Is PRP done with ultrasound guidance?
Yes. The injection is placed under ultrasound guidance, during the same visit.
Do you take insurance?
Most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.
Do I need a referral?
No. You may contact the office directly. If your insurance plan requires a referral, our staff will let you know.
Do I need an MRI before my appointment?
It is not required. Please bring any existing X-rays or MRI results, and Dr. Abbasi will order additional imaging if needed.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any imaging you already have (the scans themselves, not only the report), a list of the medications you take, your insurance card and a photo ID.
