PRP for Knee Injections: Benefits & What to Expect
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for the knee are a popular regenerative treatment for knee pain, osteoarthritis, injuries, and tissue damage. PRP therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities by injecting a concentration of platelets and growth factors from your own blood into the affected joint.
Key Benefits of PRP Injections
- Reduces Pain & Inflammation: PRP contains anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, or chronic conditions.
- Promotes Cartilage & Tissue Repair: Growth factors in PRP stimulate cartilage regeneration, which is crucial for people with osteoarthritis or cartilage degeneration.
- Accelerates Healing of Injuries: PRP enhances the body’s ability to heal ligament and tendon injuries, including meniscus tears and sprains.
- Improves Joint Function & Mobility: Patients often experience better knee movement and reduced stiffness after PRP treatment.
- Minimally Invasive with Low Risk: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, there is a low risk of allergic reactions or complications.
- May Delay or Prevent Surgery: PRP therapy can be an effective alternative to surgery or delay the need for joint replacement.

- Osteoarthritis (mild to moderate cases)
