PRP vs Stem Cells for Knee Arthritis: What Really Works?


Listen Later

Wondering whether PRP or stem cell therapy is better for your knee pain? 

In this video, we break down PRP vs stem cell therapy for knee pain in clear, practical terms so you can understand your options before committing to surgery. We explain how both platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy use your own cells to support healing, but are designed for different stages of joint damage. PRP is often better for injuries, inflammation, chronic tendon problems, and early arthritis, while stem cell therapy may be more appropriate for advanced or “bone-on-bone” arthritis when you’re trying to delay or avoid knee replacement. 

You’ll learn: 

-When PRP is typically recommended vs stem cells 

-How these regenerative treatments are performed 

-The difference between fat-derived, bone marrow, and umbilical stem cells 

-Why movement and joint health are essential for long-term longevity 

Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about PRP vs stem cell therapy for knee pain, not to replace medical advice from your own provider.
