“What is PRP Knee Therapy?”
Knee pain can show up during workouts, long walks, going up stairs, or even just standing for long periods. Whether the issue is early arthritis, inflammation, or a lingering sports injury, the impact on your daily routine can be major.
PRP Knee Therapy is a regenerative, non-surgical treatment that uses your own platelet-rich plasma to support healing inside the knee joint.
By delivering concentrated growth factors directly where your knee needs support, PRP helps calm inflammation, improve joint lubrication, and encourage healthier tissue and cartilage.
This treatment is ideal for those who want to stay active, preserve joint health, and avoid the cycle of temporary relief from medications or steroid injections.
“How Does it Work?”
PRP knee therapy is a simple, regenerative treatment performed right in our office. Most appointments take about 30 minutes from the time you arrive to when you leave.
Here’s what to expect:
+ A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
+ The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
+ The knee is numbed with lidocaine to keep the treatment comfortable.
+ The PRP is carefully injected into the knee joint or into specific ligaments or tendons.
+ Over the coming weeks and months, the PRP stimulates repair, eases discomfort, and supports smoother, more stable movement as new collagen develops.
“Am I a Candidate?”
PRP knee therapy may be right for you if you’re dealing with:
+ Knee pain during activity or after long periods of walking
+ Stiffness or swelling, especially in the morning or evening
+ Discomfort going up or down stairs
+ Grinding, popping, or a “creaky” sensation
+ Reduced mobility that limits exercise
+ Early to moderate osteoarthritis
+ Degenerative meniscus irritation or mild ligament strain
Whether your pain is from athletics, overuse, or age-related changes, PRP offers a regenerative option that supports your knee’s long-term health.
Results
Most patients start to feel improvements within a few weeks as inflammation decreases. Collagen production continues over the next several months, helping the knee feel stronger, more stable, and more comfortable. Many experience long-lasting relief from a single treatment, while others choose a series depending on their goals and joint health.
If knee pain is connected to weight, inflammation, or metabolic imbalances, our integrative approach can also help support the root causes contributing to discomfort.
FAQs
Will it hurt?
Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is. We inject lidocaine to fully numb the area before treatment, so you’ll feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Most women describe it as mild pressure or quick pinches rather than pain.
Is there any downtime?
There is no downtime! You can return to your normal routine the same day and resume sexual activity within 24 hours unless otherwise advised.
When will I notice results?
How long do results last?
Because we’re injecting your body’s own platelet-rich plasma, the results age as you do. Most women experience long-lasting benefits from a single treatment.
Can I get the O-Shot while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the O-Shot should be scheduled after pregnancy and breastfeeding. This allows your hormones to stabilize and ensures the safest, most effective results.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare for my appointment?
We’ll give you simple pre-treatment guidelines before your visit. In general, it’s best to stay well-hydrated, avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours before your appointment, and eat a light meal beforehand.
We will review your medical history and ensure you feel fully prepared and comfortable before treatment begins.
