New Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common conditions we treat, and moderate to severe cases can be especially challenging. A groundbreaking option now available is subchondral injections: delivering PRP or bone marrow concentrate directly into the bone beneath the cartilage.
Why this matters: 🔹 The subchondral bone is where your stem cells, blood vessels, and metabolic activity live—the very foundation for cartilage repair. 🔹 When arthritis causes inflammation and dysregulation in this layer, it accelerates joint damage. 🔹 By injecting directly into the subchondral bone and into the joint, we treat both sides of the cartilage, giving you the best chance at improved function, pain relief, and long-term outcomes.
This approach addresses arthritis at its root, helping patients move with less pain and more freedom.
