PRP Injections for Knee Pain: Who It Helps and What to Expect
A 44-year-old runner came to see me after months of frustration.
She said:
“It’s not bad enough to stop… but I don’t trust my knee anymore.”
That’s often when PRP becomes relevant — when symptoms persist despite doing the right things.
What Is PRP?
PRP uses a small sample of your own blood.
We concentrate the platelets — which contain growth factors — and inject them into the knee to support the body’s natural healing response.
Who Is It For?
PRP may be suitable if you:
Are still active but limited by knee symptoms
Have early to moderate arthritis
Have sports injuries or tendon-related pain
Have plateaued with physiotherapy
What to Expect
30–45 minute procedure
Ultrasound-guided injection
Some soreness for a few days
Gradual improvement over 4–8 weeks
Where PRP Fits
PRP is often considered for patients who want to address symptoms earlier — before arthritis becomes more advanced.
