Knee Pain? Consider PRP Injections at My MSK Clinic

If knee pain is affecting your daily life, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections offer a non-surgical option to help relieve pain and improve movement.

PRP uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate healing platelets, which are then injected into the knee to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Benefits of PRP injections:
• Long-lasting pain relief
• Improved mobility and function
• Minimally invasive with little downtime
• Uses your body’s natural healing response

PRP is commonly used for knee pain linked to osteoarthritis and other joint conditions.
