All About Frozen Shoulder Pain Relief Operation
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by severe stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. The condition typically progresses in stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing. During the freezing phase, pain and stiffness develop, and the shoulder becomes increasingly difficult to move. The frozen phase sees the shoulder become stiff and motion severely restricted, while in the thawing phase, movement gradually returns. ( vid new- What is frozen shoulder?)

Non-Surgical Treatment for Knee & Joint Pain in Bhopal: PRP Treatment & Ligament Injections
Joint pain — whether from a ligament injury, osteoarthritis, or sports trauma — does not always require surgery. Today, advanced non-surgical regenerative treatments such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and Ligament Injection therapy (Prolotherapy) offer patients in Bhopal and across India a powerful, evidence-based alternative to the operating table.
Dr. S.K. Gupta, Senior Orthopaedic and Knee & Shoulder Surgeon at Apollo Sage Hospital, Bhopal, is one of India’s most trusted specialists offering these regenerative non-surgical therapies. With over 21 years of experience and 12,000+ surgeries, Dr. Gupta evaluates each patient holistically — recommending surgery only when truly necessary, and offering PRP and ligament injection treatment when the condition can be managed without an operation.
Learn more about Dr. SK Gupta including his international fellowships, awards, and recognition as the Meniscus Man of India.
Quick Answer – What Is PRP & Ligament Injection Therapy?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical procedure where growth factors from the patient’s own blood are concentrated and injected into a damaged joint or ligament to stimulate natural healing and reduce pain.
Ligament Injection Therapy (Prolotherapy) involves injecting a therapeutic solution (typically dextrose) into injured or lax ligaments to trigger collagen regeneration and restore joint stability — without surgery.
Both treatments are performed at Apollo Sage Hospital, Bhopal, under the expert care of Dr. SK Gupta.
1. What Is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy?
Direct Answer
PRP therapy is a regenerative, non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated growth factors from a patient’s own blood to repair damaged joints, ligaments, and tendons. The procedure takes approximately 60 minutes, requires no general anaesthesia, and helps the body heal itself naturally.
Blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma. Plasma contains platelets — tiny cells packed with growth factors that are essential for tissue repair. In PRP therapy, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, and then injected directly into the injured or painful area.
The concentrated growth factors in PRP — including PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), TGF-beta, VEGF, EGF, and IGF — stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and promote the regeneration of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. The result is genuine biological healing, not just temporary pain relief.
How PRP Differs from Steroid Injections
PRP Therapy | Steroid (Cortisone) Injection |
Uses patient’s own blood — zero risk of rejection | Uses synthetic anti-inflammatory drug |
Promotes actual tissue healing and regeneration | Provides temporary symptom relief only |
Effects can last 12–24 months or longer | Effects typically last 3–6 months |
No risk of cartilage damage with repeated use | Repeated use may weaken cartilage and tendons |
Biologically active — stimulates growth factors | Suppresses inflammation without healing tissue |
2. What Are Ligament Injections (Prolotherapy)?
Direct Answer
Ligament injection therapy, also known as prolotherapy, is a non-surgical treatment in which a therapeutic solution (commonly dextrose or glucose) is injected at the ligament-to-bone junction. This triggers a controlled, localised healing response that stimulates collagen production, tightens lax ligaments, and restores joint stability — without the need for surgery.
Ligaments are dense connective tissue bands that hold bones together and stabilise joints. Because ligaments have a limited blood supply, they heal slowly and incompletely after injury. Chronic ligament laxity (looseness) can lead to persistent joint pain, instability, and a higher risk of further injury.
Prolotherapy works on a simple but powerful principle: by injecting a mild irritant solution into the injured ligament, it creates a brief, controlled inflammatory response. This recruits the body’s natural healing cells (fibroblasts), which then lay down new collagen fibres — gradually strengthening and tightening the ligament over several weeks.
Types of Ligament Injection Solutions Used
- Dextrose (glucose) solution – the most common and well-studied proliferant
- PRP combined with dextrose – for enhanced healing in complex cases
- Sodium morrhuate – used in some protocols for tendon and ligament laxity
At Apollo Sage Hospital, Bhopal, Dr. SK Gupta selects the most appropriate injection solution based on the patient’s specific diagnosis, imaging findings, and treatment goals.
3. Conditions Treated with PRP & Ligament Injections
Both PRP therapy and ligament injection treatment are used across a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. SK Gupta at Apollo Sage Hospital, Bhopal, uses these treatments for:
Knee Conditions
- Knee Osteoarthritis (Grade I, II, and III) – reduce pain and delay or avoid knee replacement
- Partial ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Tears
- MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) Injuries
- Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
- Meniscus Degeneration (early-stage)
- Post-surgical rehabilitation and joint recovery
Shoulder Conditions
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy (partial thickness tears)
- Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)
- AC Joint (Acromioclavicular) Ligament Injuries
- Shoulder Instability due to Ligament Laxity
Other Joints & Sports Injuries
- Ankle Ligament Sprains (chronic instability)
- Elbow – Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
- Hip Joint Osteoarthritis (early stage)
- Sacroiliac Joint Ligament Laxity
Key Facts – Who Benefits Most?
• Patients with Grade I–III knee osteoarthritis seeking to delay surgery
• Active individuals and athletes with ligament or tendon injuries
• Patients who wish to avoid surgery due to age, health conditions, or personal preference
• Post-operative patients seeking faster recovery and tissue regeneration
• Patients with chronic joint pain not responding to physiotherapy or oral medications
4. How PRP Therapy Is Performed – Step by Step
Direct Answer
PRP injection is a same-day, outpatient procedure that takes approximately 60 minutes from start to finish. It involves blood collection, centrifugation to concentrate platelets, and injection into the target joint or tissue — all under sterile conditions and often guided by ultrasound imaging.
The PRP Procedure at Apollo Sage Hospital, Bhopal
- Step 1 – Consultation & Evaluation: Dr. SK Gupta reviews clinical history, X-rays, and MRI scans to confirm suitability for PRP or ligament injection therapy.
- Step 2 – Blood Collection: A small volume (15–30 ml) of the patient’s blood is drawn from a vein in the arm.
- Step 3 – Centrifugation: The blood sample is processed in a centrifuge for 10–15 minutes, separating and concentrating the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells.
- Step 4 – Preparation of Injection Site: The target area (knee, shoulder, etc.) is cleaned with an antiseptic solution. A local anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort.
- Step 5 – Ultrasound-Guided Injection: Under real-time ultrasound guidance, the concentrated PRP is injected precisely into the damaged tissue. Ultrasound guidance improves accuracy and safety.
- Step 6 – Post-Procedure Instructions: The patient rests briefly and is given recovery instructions, including activity restrictions for 48–72 hours and avoidance of anti-inflammatory medications.
- Step 7 – Follow-Up: Review at 6 weeks and 3 months post-injection to assess healing progress.
5. PRP vs. Ligament Injection Therapy – Comparison
Feature | PRP Therapy vs. Ligament Injection (Prolotherapy) |
Source of material | PRP: Patient’s own blood | Prolotherapy: Dextrose solution |
Primary mechanism | PRP: Growth factor delivery | Prolotherapy: Controlled inflammation → collagen |
Best for | PRP: Osteoarthritis, tendon/cartilage damage | Prolotherapy: Ligament laxity, instability |
Number of sessions | PRP: 2–3 injections | Prolotherapy: 3–6 injections |
Pain after injection | PRP: Mild soreness 24–48 hrs | Prolotherapy: Moderate soreness 2–5 days |
Onset of results | PRP: 4–8 weeks | Prolotherapy: 6–12 weeks |
Duration of effect | PRP: 12–24+ months | Prolotherapy: Long-lasting if collagen remodels |
Can be combined | Yes – PRP + Prolotherapy together in selected cases |
6. Who Is a Candidate for Non-Surgical Treatment?
Dr. SK Gupta assesses each patient individually. You may be a good candidate for PRP or ligament injection therapy if:
- You have mild-to-moderate knee or shoulder pain that has not responded to physiotherapy or oral medications
- Imaging shows early-to-moderate osteoarthritis, partial ligament tears, or tendon degeneration
- You wish to delay or avoid joint replacement surgery
- You are an athlete seeking faster return to sport without surgery
- You have been advised surgery but prefer a conservative approach first
- You are not suitable for surgery due to age, systemic health conditions, or personal choice
Who May NOT Be Suitable
- Active infection in or near the target joint
- Platelet disorders or blood-thinning medication use (case by case)
- Severe Grade IV osteoarthritis with bone-on-bone contact — surgery may be unavoidable
- Complete ligament tears requiring surgical reconstruction (e.g., complete ACL rupture)
A thorough evaluation by Dr. SK Gupta at Apollo Sage Hospital, Bhopal, is essential before recommending PRP or ligament injection treatment. Self-assessment or comparison with other patients is not advised.
7. Benefits and Advantages of PRP & Ligament Injection Therapy
Summary Box – Key Benefits
✓ Non-surgical – no incisions, no general anaesthesia
✓ Outpatient procedure – same-day treatment, no hospital admission
✓ Autologous (self-derived) – PRP uses the patient’s own blood, eliminating rejection risk
✓ Evidence-based – supported by multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies
✓ Stimulates genuine biological healing – not just symptom masking
✓ Low risk of adverse effects – mild soreness is the most common side effect
✓ Can delay or prevent surgery in appropriate cases
✓ Quick recovery – most patients return to light activity within 48–72 hours
✓ Suitable for all age groups – from young athletes to elderly patients
8. Recovery and Expected Results
What to Expect After PRP Injection
- First 24–72 hours: Mild soreness, warmth, and swelling at the injection site — this is a normal healing response
- Week 1–3: Gradual reduction in pain; avoid strenuous activity and NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac)
- Week 4–8: Many patients begin to notice significant improvement in pain levels and mobility
- Month 3–6: Optimal results typically observed; further improvement may continue up to 12 months
What to Expect After Ligament Injection (Prolotherapy)
- Post-injection soreness is more pronounced than PRP — lasting 2–5 days
- Results build progressively over multiple sessions
- Most patients complete a course of 3–6 injections spaced 4–6 weeks apart
- Joint stability and pain reduction typically improve significantly by the end of the course
Important Post-Treatment Instructions
• Avoid NSAIDs (anti-inflammatory medications) for at least 2 weeks after injection — they can suppress the healing response
• Apply ice packs to reduce local soreness if needed
• Continue with prescribed physiotherapy exercises
• Stay well-hydrated; avoid alcohol for 48 hours
• Attend all follow-up appointments with Dr. SK Gupta

10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is PRP therapy for knee pain?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical treatment where a small amount of the patient's own blood is processed to concentrate healing growth factors and injected into the damaged knee joint. It reduces pain and inflammation while stimulating the natural repair of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons — without surgery or hospital admission.
Q2. Is PRP treatment available in Bhopal?
Yes. PRP treatment and ligament injection therapy are available in Bhopal at Apollo Sage Hospital, under the care of Dr. S.K. Gupta — a nationally recognised knee and shoulder specialist with 21+ years of experience. To book a consultation, call +91-7610101079 or +91-7611111179.
Q3. How many PRP injections will I need?
Most patients require a course of 2–3 PRP injections, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the severity of the condition, the patient's response to the first injection, and the specific joint involved. Some patients with early-stage osteoarthritis may respond excellently to a single high-volume PRP injection.
Q4. What is ligament injection therapy (prolotherapy)?
Ligament injection therapy (prolotherapy) involves injecting a therapeutic solution — typically concentrated dextrose — into weakened or injured ligaments at their attachment to the bone. This triggers a controlled healing response, stimulates new collagen production, and restores ligament strength and joint stability without surgery.
Q5. Can PRP therapy help me avoid knee replacement?
For patients with early-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis, PRP therapy has strong clinical evidence showing significant pain reduction and improved joint function. In many cases, it can delay or eliminate the need for knee replacement surgery. However, in advanced Grade IV osteoarthritis with bone-on-bone changes, surgery may ultimately be necessary. Dr. SK Gupta evaluates each case individually.
Q6. Is PRP injection painful?
The procedure involves a brief injection that may cause mild discomfort. Local anaesthetic is applied to the skin before injection to minimise pain. After the procedure, mild soreness at the injection site lasting 24–72 hours is normal and indicates the healing process has begun. Most patients rate the procedure as well-tolerated.
Q7. How long does PRP treatment last?
Clinical studies show that the benefits of PRP therapy for knee osteoarthritis typically last 12–24 months, with some patients reporting sustained improvement beyond two years. The longevity of results depends on the severity of the condition, adherence to post-injection care instructions, and whether adjunct physiotherapy is undertaken.
Q8. What is the recovery time after a PRP injection?
Most patients can return to light daily activities within 48–72 hours after a PRP injection. Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and sporting activity should be avoided for 2–4 weeks. Anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) must be avoided for at least 2 weeks after the procedure, as they can suppress the healing response stimulated by PRP.
Q9. Are PRP injections safe?
PRP therapy is considered very safe. Since it uses the patient's own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission or allergic reaction to the injected material. The most common side effects are mild pain, swelling, and warmth at the injection site — all of which are temporary and resolve within a few days. Serious complications are extremely rare.
Q10. Which is better — PRP or steroid injection for knee pain?
For long-term outcomes, PRP therapy is generally considered superior to steroid injections. While steroids provide faster initial pain relief, they do not heal the underlying tissue and can damage cartilage with repeated use. PRP stimulates actual biological repair and offers longer-lasting results. Dr. SK Gupta tailors the recommendation to each patient's clinical situation.
Q11. Can PRP be used for shoulder pain?
Yes. PRP is used effectively for shoulder conditions including rotator cuff tendinopathy, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), AC joint injuries, and shoulder ligament laxity. At Apollo Sage Hospital, Bhopal, Dr. SK Gupta offers PRP injections for both knee and shoulder conditions under ultrasound guidance.
Q12. Is prolotherapy the same as PRP?
No, though they are related. Prolotherapy uses a dextrose (sugar) solution to stimulate healing in lax or injured ligaments. PRP uses concentrated growth factors from the patient's blood to repair a wider range of tissues including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Both are non-surgical, regenerative treatments. In some cases, Dr. SK Gupta combines both approaches for optimal results.
Q13. What conditions are NOT suitable for PRP or ligament injections?
PRP and ligament injections are generally not recommended for complete ligament tears requiring surgical reconstruction, severe Grade IV osteoarthritis with bone-on-bone changes, active joint infections, patients with platelet disorders, or patients on blood-thinning medications (unless cleared by their physician). Dr. SK Gupta performs a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Q14. How do I book a consultation for PRP treatment with Dr. SK Gupta in Bhopal?
