Advanced Knee Injection Therapy

Ideal candidates for this advanced knee injection therapy include:

Individuals with Osteoarthritis:

Those experiencing mild to moderate osteoarthritis who want to slow disease progression and improve joint function.

People with Chronic Knee Pain or Inflammation:

Patients suffering from persistent knee discomfort due to ageing, wear and tear, or previous injuries.

Athletes or Active Individuals:

Those recovering from sports-related knee injuries who seek non-surgical solutions to restore mobility and enhance healing.

Patients Seeking Alternatives to Steroid Injections or Surgery:

Individuals who have tried painkillers or steroid injections with limited success and want a regenerative, long-term solution.

Post-Surgery Patients:

Those recovering from knee surgery who want to accelerate healing and support joint regeneration.

This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with:

• Severe knee osteoarthritis (where joint replacement is the only option)
• Active infections in or around the knee
• Bleeding disorders or those on strong blood thinners
• Severe autoimmune conditions affecting joint health

A consultation will determine if this therapy is right for you.

The Knee Injection Therapy at Dr BK Clinic is designed to be as comfortable as possible, with minimal discomfort during the procedure.

Numbing Techniques: A local anaesthetic or numbing cream will be applied to the area before the injection, reducing any pain or sensitivity.

Quick Procedure: The injection itself is performed with precision by experienced doctor and the entire appointment will take no longer than half an hour.

Mild Sensation: Some patients report slight pressure or mild discomfort during the injection, but it is generally well tolerated.

If you have concerns about pain or sensitivity, our team at DrBK Clinic will discuss all comfort measures with you before your procedure.

After the procedure, mild soreness or swelling at the injection site may occur, but this typically resolves within a day or two.

Many patients resume normal activities shortly after treatment, though it's recommended to avoid high-impact exercise (e.g., running, heavy lifting) for the first 48 hours.

Knee Injection Therapy at DrBK is administered in a similar way to steroid injections; the needle is carefully inserted into the joint space between the bones (underneath the knee cap), where the cartilage and synovial fluid are located.

This method allows the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Polynucleotides, and Hyaluronic Acid to work directly within the joint, helping to reduce inflammation, improve lubrication, and stimulate tissue repair.

The procedure is quick, safe, and performed by experienced professionals to ensure minimal discomfort and effective results.

The timeline for noticeable results from Knee Injection Therapy varies from patient to patient, depending on factors like the severity of osteoarthritis, overall joint health, and individual healing responses. However, here’s a general breakdown of what to expect:

First Few Days (1–7 Days):

• Many patients experience pain relief within a couple of days, thanks to the anti-inflammatory effects of PRP and Polynucleotides.
• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) starts improving joint lubrication, reducing stiffness and enhancing movement.
• Mild swelling or soreness may occur initially but typically resolves quickly.

2 to 6 Weeks:

• Continued reduction in inflammation and further improvements in joint mobility and comfort.
• The PRP and Polynucleotides begin stimulating deeper tissue repair and regeneration.

Long-Term (3 to 6 Months & Beyond):

• Ongoing cartilage regeneration and improved joint function.
• Pain relief is sustained, with many patients experiencing benefits for 6 months to a year.

So, while pain relief can begin within a few days, the full regenerative effects develop over the following weeks and months, offering long-term improvement.

The results of Knee Injection Therapy can last anywhere from 3 months to over 12 months; depending on factors like the severity of osteoarthritis, lifestyle, and individual healing response.

Most patients may benefit from a top-up treatment every 6–12 months to maintain results and prevent further joint degeneration. 

The frequency of Knee Injection Therapy depends on factors like your condition's severity, response to treatment, and long-term goals, but most patients will undergo 1 treatment and experience relief for several months.

Most patients may benefit from a top-up treatment every 6–12 months to maintain results and prevent further joint degeneration. Since PRP, Polynucleotides, and Hyaluronic Acid work to repair and regenerate tissue, the effects can be long-lasting, and some patients may go longer before needing another injection. A consultation will help create a personalised treatment plan based on your progress and needs.

Unlike steroid injections (which only provide short-term pain relief by reducing inflammation), PRP, Polynucleotides, and Hyaluronic Acid work to repair tissue, regenerate cartilage, and improve joint function for longer-lasting results.

Yes! Many patients experience significant pain relief and mobility improvement, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for knee surgery. However, this totally depends on the severity of your condition.
