🚫 Cortisone Injections for Knee Arthritis? Think Again. 🦵

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic pain and disability. While cortisone injections have long been used for relief, new research shows they may actually accelerate joint damage over time.

📉 Studies continue to highlight the detrimental effects of cortisone on cartilage health—offering only short-term relief while potentially worsening the underlying condition.

✅ At our clinic, we offer evidence-based, image-guided Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections—a regenerative alternative that supports your body’s natural healing process without the long-term risks of steroids.

🔬 Performed under precise image guidance, our PRP treatments are designed to target the source of pain and promote tissue repair—helping you move better, longer.

📩 Ready to explore a safer, longer-lasting solution for knee osteoarthritis? Send us a message or comment below to book a consultation.

Another nail in the coffin of cortisone in knee osteoarthritis.

PRP + Prolotherapy = Powerful Healing

🔬 Our high dose PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses the platelet-rich portion of your blood to stimulate deep tissue repair. With therapeutic dose of 10+ billion in every treatment
🧪 Prolotherapy in our protocol uses Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) — the remaining part of your own blood — to gently target and release inflammation in surrounding muscles and tissue.

💡 By using both components of your blood, we maximise healing potential — targeting inflammation, stimulating collagen production, and encouraging long-term tissue regeneration with no portion wasted!

✅ Backed by clinical evidence
✅ Minimally invasive
✅ Autologous and personalised
