The Procedure

1.  Natural and Low Risk: PRP is derived from the patient's own blood, making it a natural treatment with minimal risk of adverse reactions

2.  Pain Reduction: PRP injections can significantly reduce pain associated with arthritis by promoting healing and reducing inflammation in the affected joints

3.  Improved Joint Function: Patients often experience improved joint function and mobility after PRP therapy, which can enhance their quality of life

4.  Potential to Repair Cartilage: PRP may help slow down the progress of arthritis, which is a significant benefit for osteoarthritis patients 

5.  Fewer Side Effects: Compared to other treatments like corticosteroid injections or long-term use of NSAIDs, PRP has fewer side effects and does not carry the same risks of weakening ligaments or causing stomach issues

6.  Regenerative Properties: PRP harnesses the body's natural healing processes, promoting tissue regeneration and potentially leading to longer-lasting relief

1.  Pain Reduction: nSTRIDE injections are designed to significantly reduce pain in the knee joint. Many patients experience a noticeable decrease in pain within a few weeks of the injection

2.  Improved Mobility and Function: By reducing pain and inflammation, nSTRIDE injections can help restore mobility and improve joint function. This can make daily activities easier and more comfortable.

3.  Long-Lasting Effects: Clinical studies suggest that a single nSTRIDE injection can provide pain relief for up to 24-36 months.

4.  Cartilage Protection: nSTRIDE injections contain proteins that can help slow the destruction of cartilage in the knee, potentially delaying the progression of osteoarthritis.

5.  Non-Invasive Treatment: The procedure involves a single injection, making it a less invasive option compared to surgical interventions. 

6.  Autologous Treatment: Since nSTRIDE uses proteins derived from the patient's own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is minimized, making it a safer option for many patients.

1. Higher Accuracy: Ultrasound allows real‑time visualization of the needle and target tissue, resulting in much more precise placement compared to landmark‑guided (“blind”) injections.

2. Greater treatment Effectiveness: Because the medication is delivered exactly where it’s needed, patients are more likely to experience better pain relief and improved function.

3. Enhanced Safety: Ultrasound helps avoid nerves, blood vessels, and other sensitive structures, reducing the risk of complications.

4. Improved Patient Comfort: The injection is typically less painful, quicker, and more predictable because the clinician can see the needle path at all times.

5. More Accurate in Hard-to-Reach Areas

Ultrasound ensures precise injections in small or deep joints where blind techniques are less reliable.

6. Real-time Visualization: Patients can watch the procedure on the screen if they like, which often reduces anxiety and increases confidence in the process.
