What is the recovery like after knee injections?

Steroid and regenerative injections for the knee require little or recovery time. There may be some soreness at the injection site, which usually resolves on its own within a few days. Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, after regenerative treatments, as they can block the intended healing response.

What can I expect with PRP knee injections in Houston, Texas?

Most knee injection treatments require a single injection. This is true for steroids, PRP, and BMAC or stem-cell injections. In contrast, prolotherapy may require 15 to 20 injections into the knee joint and surrounding tissue. If you have PRP injections in Houston to treat knee pain, a small amount of your blood will be drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red and white blood cells before the injection is performed. Before BMAC treatment, we remove a small amount of your bone marrow and spin it in a centrifuge to create a concentrate that is injected into the affected area.

FAQ

What is a genicular nerve block?

A genicular nerve block is a diagnostic procedure to help determine the source of your knee pain and a therapeutic procedure to relieve your pain. If you have chronic knee pain that has not responded to conservative care, you may be a candidate for a genicular nerve block, in which the nerves are anesthetized with a local anesthetic injected through small needles. Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation may be offered for longer-lasting relief if you have a positive response to the nerve block.
