PRP for Knee Pain London

The London PRP Clinic offers PRP injections for knee pain from £495. PRP can reduce pain and improve function in knee osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and chronic joint problems. Doctor-led treatment at our Marylebone clinic.

How PRP Helps Knee Pain

PRP contains growth factors that:

  • Reduce inflammation in the joint

  • Stimulate cartilage repair

  • Promote tissue healing

  • Decrease pain signals

  • Improve joint lubrication

Conditions Treated:

  • Knee osteoarthritis (mild to moderate)

  • Meniscus injuries

  • Ligament sprains

  • Tendinopathy

  • Post-surgical healing

  • Chronic knee pain

What the Evidence Says

Clinical Research Shows:

  • PRP reduces knee pain in 70-80% of osteoarthritis patients

  • Effects can last 6-12 months

  • Multiple studies show PRP outperforms hyaluronic acid injections

  • Best results in mild-moderate arthritis (not severe bone-on-bone)

PRP Won't:

  • Regrow cartilage completely

  • Cure advanced arthritis

  • Replace knee replacement surgery when truly needed

Treatment Process

Step 1: Consultation

Doctor assesses your knee, reviews any scans, and confirms PRP suitability.

Step 2: Blood Draw

Small sample taken from arm.

Step 3: Processing

Blood centrifuged to create concentrated PRP.

Step 4: Injection

PRP injected directly into knee joint. Takes 5-10 minutes.

Step 5: Recovery

Rest for 24-48 hours. Gradual return to activity over 1-2 weeks.

Week 2-4: Pain begins to improve

Week 6-8: Significant improvement in most patients

Month 3-6: Optimal results

Who Benefits Most

Ideal Candidates:

  • Mild to moderate osteoarthritis

  • Sports injuries not responding to physio

  • Wanting to delay or avoid surgery

  • Active lifestyle despite knee problems

  • Previous steroid injections wearing off

Less Suitable For:

  • Severe bone-on-bone arthritis

  • Major ligament tears requiring surgery

  • Infection in the knee

  • Blood disorders

PRP vs Other Knee Injections

PRP:

  • Your own blood

  • Promotes healing

  • Effects last 6-12 months

  • From £495

Steroid Injection:

  • Reduces inflammation quickly

  • Effects last 6-12 weeks

  • Can weaken tissue with repeated use

  • £80-150

Hyaluronic Acid:
