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’d twisted her knee during training, rested, done physiotherapy, and gradually returned to running — but every time she increased her mileage, the pain came back.

Not severe enough to stop completely.

But enough to make her hesitant.

She said:

“I don’t trust my knee anymore.”

After we talked things through, we explored options that helped her feel more confident progressing her training again.

What Is PRP?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) involves taking a small sample of your own blood, concentrating the platelets, and injecting them into the knee.

Platelets contain growth factors involved in tissue repair.

Who Might It Help?

PRP may be considered for:

• Early to moderate knee arthritis

• Tendon-related knee pain

• Persistent symptoms despite rehabilitation

What to Expect

• Injection into the knee

• Sometimes a short course

• Gradual improvement
