PRP Injection vs Viscosupplementation — Which One Is Right for Your Knee? 🦵
Knee pain, stiffness, and cartilage-related problems can gradually affect your ability to walk, exercise, climb stairs, or stay active. But not every patient needs the same injection or treatment approach.
In this video, Dr. Ankur Goyal explains the difference between PRP injections and viscosupplementation, how these treatments work, and when they may be considered for patients with knee pain and joint-related conditions.
PRP therapy uses concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood, while viscosupplementation involves injecting a hyaluronic-acid-based substance into the joint to support lubrication and movement. The choice of treatment depends on factors such as the patient’s age, symptoms, cartilage condition, activity level, and overall joint health.
The right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. If knee pain is limiting your daily activities or keeping you away from the activities you enjoy, consult an orthopedic specialist to understand your options.
