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

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 3: Processing
Blood centrifuged to create concentrated PRP.
Step 4: Injection
PRP injected directly into knee joint. Takes 5-10 minutes.
