What is PRP & Hyaluronic Acid Therapy?

Your blood, low risk

​  Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) therapy offer a powerful, non-surgical solution for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and joint pain.

PRP utilizes your body's natural healing abilities to repair damaged tissues, while HA enhances joint lubrication and cushioning, making movement smoother and reducing discomfort.

​

How Hyaluronic Acid Works in Joint Health

​

  Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial fluid of joints, providing essential lubrication, shock absorption, and cushioning. In osteoarthritis, HA levels decline, leading to joint stiffness, inflammation, and increased wear and tear. By injecting HA into the knee, joint mobility improves, pain is reduced, and the progression of OA is slowed. When combined with PRP, HA not only provides lubrication but also enhances PRP’s regenerative effects, resulting in greater pain relief, improved cartilage health, and long-term joint function preservation.

​

How PRP Works to Stimulate Healing

​

  PRP therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors and anti-inflammatory compounds that promote tissue healing and reduce pain.

​

  During the healing process, platelets play a crucial role in haemostasis (stopping bleeding), new tissue formation, and revascularization (formation of new blood vessels). When activated by contact with damaged tissue, platelets release over 300 bioactive substances, including essential growth factors that stimulate cellular repair, remove damaged tissue, and promote new extracellular matrix formation.

The Benefits of PRP & HA Combination Therapy

​

• Enhanced Lubrication & Cushioning: HA reduces friction in the joint, improving mobility and reducing stiffness.

​

• Tissue Regeneration & Repair: PRP stimulates natural healing by promoting new cartilage growth and reducing inflammation.

​

• Long-Lasting Pain Relief: The combination of PRP and HA provides extended relief from osteoarthritis symptoms compared to traditional treatments.

​

• Minimally Invasive & Low-Risk: PRP and HA injections are safe, well-tolerated, and require minimal downtime.

​

• Reduced Dependence on Medications: By addressing the root cause of OA symptoms, patients may reduce their reliance on painkillers or steroid injections.

Research-Backed Treatment for Osteoarthritis & Joint Injuries

​

  Studies have shown that PRP and HA therapy can be highly effective for musculoskeletal conditions, including knee osteoarthritis, meniscal tears, and chronic joint pain. PRP injections not only reduce inflammation but also promote long-term tissue repair, making them a preferred alternative to corticosteroid injections, which may accelerate cartilage deterioration. HA further enhances these benefits by providing the necessary joint lubrication and structural support for optimal movement.
