Injuries (like ligament tears or meniscus damage),osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or overuse etc.

Non-surgical treatments for knee pain include:

• Radiofrequency ablation of genicular nerves
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy
• Hyaluronic acid injections(Viscosupplementation)
• Corticosteroid injections
• Ozone therapy
• Physical therapy and exercise
• Medications (like anti-inflammatories and pain relievers)
• Other complementary therapies

PRP therapy involves using a patient’s own blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors that help reduce inflammation, promote healing and repair tissues. PRP injections are often used to treat knee pain due to osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, or tendon damage.

PRP therapy works by:

• Promoting the healing of damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
• Stimulating the body’s natural repair processes This can help alleviate pain, improve joint function, and potentially slow the progression of degenerative conditions.
• Reducing inflammation in the knee joint

Yes, PRP therapy is generally considered safe because it uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. However, it should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional with experience in PRP treatments.

The number of PRP sessions varies depending on your diagnosis.In case of partial ligament tears multiple sessions may be required, whereas in early stages of osteoarthritis single session PRP can give beneficial results.
