  1. Understand the Various Benefits of Platelet Plasma Injection Platelet plasma injection or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new medical treatment that has been used for various purposes. One of its most common applications is in pain management. Physicians recommend platelet plasma injection for patients who have arthritis and injuries. It is also increasingly being used in wound and soft tissue healing for prolotherapy treatments. Today, there's an increasing number of osteoarthritis patients opting for PRP treatment for knee. They choose to skip orthopedic surgeries because of the following benefits of PRP: 1.Non-surgical relief Obviously, the biggest benefit of PRP treatment for knee is that it is done without the patient going under the knife. The platelet-rich plasma is injected into the affected area—no cuts, or wounds, or any sign of a scar. That means you can return to your regular routine faster. 2.Treats unresponsive knee injuries If your knee problem no longer responds to the pain relief medication, consider getting PRP therapy. Unlike oral medicines, this treatment can alleviate the symptoms of chronic knee pain for the long term. 3.Accelerates recovery time Because the platelet-rich plasma is injected directly to your knee, recovery is faster than knee surgery or taking oral medication. PRP treatments for knee work by giving the injured areas natural proteins, cytokines, stem cells, and other bioactive growth factors produced from your own blood. The injection of PRP causes the deposition of new collagen, which causes the ligaments and tendons to tighten and grow stronger. The concentrated plasma allows your own body to heal damaged cells, torn ligaments, and herniated disc naturally. 4. Delay osteoarthritis According to the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, the trial appears to have delayed the progression of osteoarthritis in about 73% of the participating patients. The American Journal of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation also found that patients with osteoarthritis reported no adverse knee pain and saw significant improvements after receiving PRP treatments for 4 weeks.
