Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are an innovative, non-surgical treatment option for knee pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, or tendon damage. PRP therapy uses your body’s own healing properties to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and improve mobility.

PRP is created by extracting a small sample of your blood and separating the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These concentrated platelets are then injected directly into the affected knee joint or tissue to stimulate healing. Studies show that PRP therapy can significantly reduce pain and improve function, with many patients experiencing relief within weeks of treatment.

PRP injections are particularly beneficial for individuals seeking alternatives to surgery or long-term reliance on pain medications. Athletes, active individuals, and those with mild to moderate joint damage often find PRP effective in restoring mobility and reducing discomfort.

The importance of PRP lies in its ability to harness your body’s natural healing process without invasive procedures. However, not everyone is a candidate for PRP therapy. Consulting with a foot and leg specialist is essential to determine if this treatment is right for you.
