Knee Conditions Treated Using Platelet Rich Plasma
Whether you’ve taken damage from a fall or accident, over conditioned your perfect layup, or the natural effects of aging have simply caught up, knee pain is still pain and can be extremely disruptive to your daily lifestyle. Several common knee conditions can be improved with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, some of which include:
What are some of the benefits of PRP for knee issues?
PRP knee injection treatments provide patients with many unique benefits that other therapies do not. Some advantages of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy knee injections include:
Accelerated Healing
With its powerful growth factors, Platelet-Rich Plasma stimulates healing at the site of injection and helps to regenerate tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
No Down Time
There is no recovery time associated with PRP Therapy itself, so if your injury does not require surgery, you can get your injections and be on your way in about an hour.
Painless
Aside from a small amount of pressure at the injection site, most patients say that PRP Therapy is totally painless.
Pain-Relieving
As your Platelet-Rich Plasma works to restore soft tissues, it can relieve pain caused by overuse, scar tissue, injuries and even recent surgery. Many patients eliminate or reduce their reliance on painkillers following PRP Therapy treatments.
Low Risk
Because the platelets and growth factors in Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy are from your own body, there is no risk of allergic reactions, infections or rejection.
How can Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy help knee conditions?
Until recent times, knee replacement surgery was the only sustainable option for advanced arthritis of the knee. Surgery was recommended when patients didn’t get good pain relief from oral medications and other conservative treatments. However, with the advent of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection, it is possible in many cases to avoid surgical intervention. The injection of platelet-rich plasma isolated from the patient’s blood is a type of regeneration therapy that promotes the healing of damaged tissues and thereby reducing pain.
PRP contains various growth factors that reduce destruction and promote the proliferation of chondrocytes and remodeling. With PRP injection, synoviocytes get activated and increase the secretion of mucopolysaccharides to build favorable surroundings within the joint.
Stem cells are recruited in the process of regeneration. In a recent study, patients who received PRP saw regeneration of the cartilage with PRP based on MRI imaging. PRP injection may renew the tissue, allowing for decreased pain, growth of degenerated cartilage, and improved knee function.
Many people are turning to PRP Therapy as a nonsurgical, noninvasive, safe and natural procedure for alleviating their pain and promoting their most optimal health.
