What Is a PRP Injection?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Treatment begins with a small blood draw. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelet-rich portion, which is then injected into the targeted joint or tissue.
PRP contains growth factors that may support the body’s natural healing response. It is often considered for selected orthopedic and musculoskeletal concerns.
PRP for Knee Pain
Knee pain can come from arthritis, overuse, inflammation, tendon irritation, previous injury, or degenerative changes. PRP knee injections may be considered when the goal is to support tissue health and reduce discomfort without surgery.
Dr. V will review your symptoms, history, prior treatments, and goals before determining whether PRP is appropriate.
