Knee Pain? Give PRP Injections a Try!

Chronic knee pain can bring your life to a grinding halt, and you could up doing quite a bit of damage to your joints if you don’t treat the root causes of your injury. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge procedure that has helped countless patients minimize the pain around their joints. This non-surgical treatment can be completed in under an hour, and you might notice improvements within a few weeks of your first appointment. If you have been struggling with lingering knee pain, then you should take a closer look at PRP injections.

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Practically everyone is going to experience a few minor joint problems over the years, and most of those injuries should heal on their own. If you have been struggling with ongoing knee pain for more than a few weeks, then there might be some underlying issues that must be addressed. The most common cause of chronic knee pain is a repetitive motion injury. Even though healthy joints are incredibly resilient, you put quite a bit of pressure on your knees every day. Over the course of a few years, that wear and tear could break down some of the soft tissue that cushions the joints. Knee pain can also be caused by acute injuries such as sprains and tears.

PRP Injections and Knee Injuries

For many years, there were very few treatment options for severe knee injuries. Some patients would have to get multiple cortisone injections every few weeks while others had their knees replaced entirely. With PRP therapy, you might be able to avoid those treatments. The primary purpose of this procedure is to trigger the production of healthy cells. Platelet-rich plasma is a unique substance that is made from the molecules that are inside your bloodstream. When the plasma is injected into the soft tissue around a joint, the body responds by flooding the area with growth factors. Over time, those growth factors will replace all of the damaged tissue around the joint.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

There are many different reasons why you should consider PRP therapy instead of joint surgery, if possible. PRP injections are minimally-invasive, and that means you won’t have to worry about a lengthy recovery or unusual aftercare instructions. It is also important to note that PRP is made from your own blood, and unwanted side effects are extremely rare.

We believe that treating chronic joint pain doesn’t need to be a time-consuming or frustrating process, and that is why we are proud to offer our patients PRP injections at Absolute Health Medical Center in Eugene, OR. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!
