Can PRP therapy help you avoid knee surgery?

Knee pain is a common issue often linked to injury, arthritis or the natural ageing process. Many patients are now exploring alternatives to surgery, especially when symptoms first begin. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which uses a patient’s own blood to support healing, is growing in popularity. In this article, we’ll explain how PRP works, when it may be effective, and how it fits into the wider treatment options for knee conditions.

Understanding knee pain: causes, diagnosis, and treatment options

Knee pain can be felt by people of all ages and backgrounds. Knee pain can be the result of a sudden injury, wear-and-tear over time, or chronic conditions like arthritis. The cause of knee pain isn’t always apparent to the patient, which means they won’t know the best way to treat the pain until they have a formal diagnosis.
