How does the Platelet-rich plasma treatment help
treat knee osteoarthritis?
  • Though PRP for knee osteoarthritis is a
    relatively new treatment procedure, research
    suggests that it could be an excellent
    alternative treatment for knee arthritis
    patients.
  • Hundreds of studies that are performed on
    patients who underwent platelet-rich plasma
    treatment indicate that the patients experienced
    a significant reduction in knee pain and
    improvement in physical function.
  • However, it does not provide instant relief and
    patients who experienced pain relief and physical
    improvement reported improvement after several
    weeks of the procedure.
  • As the injections involve the patients own
    blood, this treatment procedure was found to have
    no side effects and also is minimally invasive
    compared to other procedures with similar
    effectiveness.
