Still dealing with knee pain that won’t go away?
Whether it’s arthritis, an old sports injury, or a torn meniscus that never healed right, knee pain has a way of making even simple things feel hard. 
Going up stairs, squatting, standing up after a meal; these movements shouldn’t hurt. But for many people, they do.
If you’ve already tried cortisone, pain meds, or physical therapy with limited results, it might be time to explore PRP therapy for your knee.
At Regenerative Joint Clinics in Riverdale, we use PRP to help reduce inflammation, encourage tissue repair, and restore mobility without surgery or long-term drug use.

The problem with conventional knee care

Most traditional treatments are built around short-term relief, not long-term recovery.
You might get:

  • Anti-inflammatories
  • Cortisone injections
  • A referral to physical therapy
  • Maybe even surgery as the “last resort”

These can help, but they often fail to address the root problem which is damaged or inflamed soft tissue that isn’t healing properly.
And if you’ve already had multiple cortisone shots, you probably know they start to lose effectiveness and may even weaken the cartilage over time.
Meanwhile, surgery comes with risks, recovery time, and costs most people would rather avoid if possible.
This is why more patients in Riverdale are turning to PRP therapy for knee pain as a way to support healing from the inside out.

Our solution: knee PRP therapy in Riverdale

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood.
We process it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors and proteins that help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
We inject this PRP directly into the area of damage which targets:

  • Torn or inflamed ligaments
  • Meniscus injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Cartilage breakdown
  • Early to moderate osteoarthritis

This helps stimulate the body’s repair process where it’s needed most.
At Regenerative Joint Clinics, we perform PRP knee treatments in-office, often in under an hour. There’s no anesthesia, no downtime beyond mild soreness, and no disruption to your daily life.

Why PRP may work when other treatments don’t

Your blood already contains everything needed to repair tissue, it just needs to be delivered to the right place in high enough concentration.
That’s what PRP does.
It may help:

  • Decrease joint pain
  • Improve flexibility and range of motion
  • Slow cartilage deterioration
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Delay or avoid knee surgery

For many patients, PRP offers a bridge between short-term treatments and invasive procedures.
It’s especially helpful when other options haven’t worked, or when you’re trying to stay active and avoid surgery.

Frequently asked questions

Some patients feel improvement within weeks, while others notice gradual changes over a few months as the tissue continues to heal.

Most insurance plans don’t cover PRP at this time. We’ll go over costs transparently during your evaluation.

There may be brief discomfort during the injection and some mild soreness afterward, but most patients tolerate it well and don’t need pain meds.

Some cases respond well to a single injection, while others may benefit from a short series. We’ll make a plan based on your condition and goals.

PRP tends to work best in early to moderate arthritis. Severe cartilage loss may not respond as well, but we’ll give you honest feedback based on your evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn’t my knee pain healing on its own?

Knee pain from osteoarthritis or chronic injury often does not resolve on its own because the underlying cartilage damage and joint inflammation persist even when symptoms temporarily improve. Without treatment that addresses these root causes, the cycle of pain and further joint deterioration continues. Regenerative treatments like PRP can help break this cycle.

How is PRP knee therapy different from cortisone?

Cortisone injections reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief but do not promote tissue healing. PRP therapy uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate repair of damaged cartilage and tendons. While cortisone effects may wear off in weeks to months, PRP aims to create lasting improvement by supporting the body’s natural healing response.

How many PRP treatments will I need for my knee?

Most patients receive one to three PRP injections spaced several weeks apart. The number depends on the severity of the knee condition and how well the joint responds to the initial treatment. Some patients experience significant improvement after a single injection, while others benefit from a series. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust the plan accordingly.

Can I walk after a PRP knee injection?

Yes, most patients can walk immediately after the procedure. Light activity is encouraged, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for one to two weeks. Some swelling and soreness at the injection site is normal for the first few days. Your provider will give specific post-procedure instructions based on your individual treatment.
