HOW IS PRP TREATMENT FOR KNEES AND JOINTS PERFORMED

The latest advances in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) research have allowed the development of PRP treatment for knee and joint treatment and therapy.

The procedure is simple and involves drawing some of your own blood and separating it in a centrifuge, which results in a rich plasma that contains all the powerful growth factors of your blood. Once this super-potent plasma is ready, a local anesthetic is applied, and the plasma is injected into the numbed area.

The entire procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, and once it has been performed, the patient can go back to his normal activities.

WHAT IS PRP TREATMENT RECOVERY LIKE?

PRP has an extremely short recovery period. Most patients can resume their normal activities on the same day or the day after treatment. Even so, it is always best to follow your physician’s instructions to prevent any infection at the injection site. You may experience some swelling and irritation following the injection, which should clear up after a day or so.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM PRP TREATMENT FOR KNEES AND JOINTS?

Results from PRP knee and joint treatments can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s specific condition, the severity of the issue, their overall health, and how their body responds to the therapy. While results are not guaranteed, many patients have reported positive outcomes and improvements in their knee discomfort and conditions after undergoing PRP treatments. Some potential results that can be expected from PRP knee treatments include:

• Pain Reduction

One of the primary goals of PRP knee treatments is to reduce pain. Many individuals experience a noticeable reduction in pain and discomfort in the treated knee joint, particularly if the pain is associated with inflammation, osteoarthritis, or mild injuries.

• Improved Functionality

PRP therapy aims to enhance joint function by promoting tissue regeneration and healing. As a result, patients often notice improved mobility, flexibility, and overall knee functionality.

• Reduced Inflammation

The growth factors and anti-inflammatory properties in PRP can contribute to decreased inflammation in and around the knee joint, leading to reduced swelling and discomfort.

• Enhanced Healing

PRP stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, which can be especially beneficial for repairing damaged tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage within the knee joint.

• Gradual Progress

PRP treatments may require some time for the full effects to become apparent. Initial improvements might be subtle and gradually increase over several weeks to months as the body’s healing mechanisms take effect.

• Long-Term Benefits

While the duration of results varies, some patients experience long-lasting benefits from PRP treatments. Depending on the severity of the knee condition, maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the positive effects.

• Minimally Invasive Approach

PRP knee treatments offer a non-surgical option for addressing knee discomfort and conditions. Compared to surgical interventions, PRP injections typically involve minimal downtime and lower risks.
