Knee PRP Injections

Knee PRP injections target the knee joint, a complex structure essential for movement, stability, and weight-bearing activities. The knee consists of three primary components: the main knee joint, where the femur (thigh bone) meets the tibia (shin bone); the medial (inner) and lateral (outer) compartments, which support movement; and the patellofemoral joint, where the patella (kneecap) connects to the femur, protecting the front of the knee and assisting with motion.

The knee joint is enclosed within a strong joint capsule and stabilized by multiple ligaments. The collateral ligaments run along the sides of the knee, preventing excessive sideways movement, while the cruciate ligaments, including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), cross inside the joint to regulate forward, backward, and rotational movements. These ligaments, along with the surrounding cartilage and synovial fluid, provide the knee with the strength and flexibility needed for everyday motion and athletic performance.

When injuries or degenerative conditions affect the knee, pain, stiffness, and instability can develop, significantly impacting mobility. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that helps reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue repair, and enhance overall joint function. By stimulating the body's natural healing response, PRP injections offer an effective solution for individuals suffering from knee pain, ligament injuries, and chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis.
