Regenerative injections for the knee involve using the body's own healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissue and alleviate pain. These injections, often containing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stem cells, are a type of regenerative medicine designed to promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and potentially avoid surgery. 

Types of Regenerative Injections:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP):

    Derived from the patient’s own blood.

    Concentrated platelets are injected into the knee to promote healing and reduce inflammation.

Stem Cell Therapy (often MSC – mesenchymal stem cells):

    Harvested from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue.

    Injected into the joint to regenerate cartilage and other tissues.

Prolotherapy (Proliferative Therapy):

    Involves injecting an irritant solution (commonly dextrose).

     Stimulates a mild inflammatory response to trigger healing.
