PRP for Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common reasons patients seek regenerative treatments. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use your own blood to help reduce inflammation and support healing inside the knee joint.
How PRP Works in the Knee
A small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the knee joint under ultrasound guidance. Platelets release growth factors that may help reduce pain and stiffness while supporting cartilage and soft tissue health.
Benefits of PRP Knee Injections
- May reduce knee pain and swelling
- May improve walking and daily activity tolerance
- Minimally invasive and performed in-office
- Uses your body’s own healing potential
What to Expect
Most patients resume normal activity the same day. Mild soreness is common for 1–2 days. Improvement typically develops over 2–6 weeks, with continued gains possible over several months. Research is now showing that some knee arthritis patients highly benefit from a series of injections.
