PRP Knee Injections

PRP Knee Injections

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Knee Injections are a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce pain, promote healing, and improve mobility for individuals suffering from knee injuries or chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis.

This therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing power by using platelets from your own blood to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cartilage regeneration.

Benefits of PRP Knee Injections

How it Works

  • A consultation is conducted to assess your knee condition and medical history.
  • Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin) before treatment, as they can interfere with platelet activity.
  • Follow any pre-treatment guidelines provided by your specialist.
  • A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
  • The PRP is injected directly into the affected knee area to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
  • The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes with minimal discomfort.
  • Mild swelling or soreness may occur but usually subsides within a few days.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and excessive knee strain for a short period.
  • Gradual improvements in pain relief and knee function are noticeable over several weeks, with optimal results in 4–6 weeks.
