Relieving Debilitating Knee Pain with Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Knee pain affects millions each year, limiting your mobility and reducing the quality of your daily life. Whether the pain results from an old sports injury, arthritis, or joint overuse, you need lasting knee pain relief.

Knee pain treatments like NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, or even surgery can only offer temporary respite from pain symptoms. Patients throughout Miami are looking for ongoing relief for the years ahead through non-invasive regenerative medicine.

Promising data shows that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a viable knee pain treatment for patients seeking natural, non-invasive pain relief. 

Discover the potential of PRP in treating your knee pain by scheduling a consultation at our Miami Beach clinic.

What Is PRP for Knee Pain?

PRP Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses growth factors within the patient’s own concentrated blood platelets to treat tendon and osteoarthritis injuries.  

Studies show PRP stimulates cellular repair, improves collagen production, and reduces inflammation, making it a powerful tool for managing knee pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis and injuries to the ACL.

Knee Conditions Treated with PRP Therapy

PRP Therapy has proven effective for several knee-related conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Meniscus tears
  • Tendonitis
  • Ligament injuries
  • Chronic knee pain due to overuse or aging

Benefits of PRP Therapy for Knee Pain

What to Expect During PRP Therapy

Step-by-Step Process:
Step 1

Consultation

The board-certified doctors at STEMS Health use MRI and ultrasound imaging to diagnose and evaluate your knee and determine if PRP Therapy is suitable.

Step 2

Blood Draw

We begin PRP treatment by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm.

Step 3

PRP Preparation

Your blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets.

Step 4

Injection

The PRP solution is injected into the targeted area of your knee using ultrasound for precise targeting.

The PRP knee procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, with minimal discomfort.

PRP for Sports Injuries

Athletes across the globe are now choosing PRP for sports injury treatment. From NBA players to amateurs, they’re turning to PRP for its training benefits, which include limited recovery time. Unlike knee surgery, PRP patients experience limited pain during the recovery process, allowing them to reach their highest performance levels sooner after treatment.

Recovery and Aftercare for PRP Knee Patients

Immediate Recovery:

Some patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort at the knee injection site, which usually subsides within a day or two.

Dos and Don’ts During PRP for Knee Pain Recovery:

  • Do: Rest and elevate your knee as recommended.
  • Don’t: Take anti-inflammatory medications, as they may interfere with healing.

 

Follow-Up Care: Your board-certified PRP team at STEMS Health will conduct multiple follow-up appointments with you to confirm your recovery progress.
