How long have you been telling yourself that your knee pain will just go away on its own? 

Days turn into weeks, and now it has become a part of your routine to avoid morning walks through the beautiful gardens of Bellevue, skip lakefront strolls in Kirkland, or turn down the Cougar Mountain weekend hike with your friends because of your knee. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy offers a natural, non-surgical way to help you move comfortably again.

At PRP In Seattle, located just minutes away from Downtown Bellevue and the Cross Kirkland Corridor trail, we provide PRP knee injections that support joint healing and restore easy movement, so you can get back to your active Eastside lifestyle without surgery. 

Performed by top surgeons who are certified in regenerative procedures and follow strict protocols, the process remains simple and minimally invasive. This ensures your treatment is both safe and expertly tailored for recovery. 

What is PRP Therapy for Knee Pain?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural treatment that uses your blood to help your body heal. The process begins with a quick blood draw that’s spun in a centrifuge to isolate a layer rich in platelets, containing three to ten times more than what’s found in normal blood. The platelets release growth messengers like PDGF, TGF-β, IGF-1, and VEGF. Once reintroduced into an aching or injured knee, these signals soothe inflammation, attract the body’s repair cells, and help restore damaged cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.

Injecting this concentrate directly into the knee helps your joint recover and not only cope with the pain.

Benefits of Taking PRP Knee Injections 

PRP therapy supports the body’s natural ability to heal from within. Whether you are managing early arthritis or recovering from a knee injury, PRP injections will provide a range of benefits: 

  • Reduction in inflammation at the source: It can help calm the joint without relying on steroids or daily medication. 
  • Supports long-term tissue repair: It may encourage the healing of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments using your body’s own growth factors. 
  • Delays or helps avoid surgery: Many patients generally find relief without needing more invasive procedures, such as knee replacement.
  • Improvement in mobility and function: Patients often report easier walking, climbing, and day-to-day movement after treatment.

Procedure: What to Expect? 

Every PRP knee treatment at PRP in Seattle begins with a one-on-one consultation, where Dr. Sajan or Dr. Jonov will evaluate your knee condition, review any history of injury, and create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals. On the day of your injection, a small blood sample will be drawn and immediately processed in a high-speed centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich layer. 

Once prepared, the healthcare provider will precisely inject the PRP into the targeted area of your knee, ensuring maximum accuracy and effect. 

Note: There is no general anesthesia, and the entire appointment typically takes under an hour. 

Recovery & Aftercare 

PRP knee injections require little to no downtime, but following a few simple aftercare steps can help maximize your results and support the healing process. However, immediately after your treatment, you may experience mild swelling or stiffness at the injection site. This is normal and usually resolves within 24-72 hours. Discomfort is typically minimal and managed without prescription medication. You should avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs as they can interfere with the natural healing process. We may schedule a follow-up 4-6 weeks after treatment with Dr. Sajan or Dr. Jonov to evaluate progress. 

 

Safety & Potential Risks 

PRP knee injections are generally considered safe because the treatment uses your own blood, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. However, some of the minimal risks include temporary swelling, soreness, or stiffness (usually resolves within 24-72 hours and mild bruising or warmth.
