PRP Injections for the Knee
PRP injections use components drawn from your own blood to support the body's natural healing. This biologic therapy suits selected patients and is offered only after a thorough clinical assessment by a knee specialist. Your assessment, injection and follow-up all take place at the private clinic in Bnei Reem, near Gedera.
- Clinical assessment and candidacy review before any injection
- Sterile PRP preparation and injection performed at the clinic

Who is PRP appropriate for?
Selected patients with joint pain or tendon pain in the knee or shoulder, following a specialist assessment — PRP is not a universal fix for every kind of pain.
Those looking for a conservative option before surgery, or an adjunct that strengthens a structured rehabilitation program.
Anyone with realistic expectations: PRP supports your healing biology but does not guarantee the same outcome in every case.
What does the process look like?

How PRP is thought to help
PRP concentrates the platelets in your own blood to reinforce local healing signals and can improve the biologic environment around irritated or overloaded tissue, supporting your body's natural recovery.
Choosing the right patient
Candidacy depends on your diagnosis, the severity of the problem, your medical history and your functional goals. Many patients see the best results from a combined plan that pairs PRP with structured physiotherapy.
