Natural Alternatives to Steroid Injections for Long-Term Knee Pain Relief
Why Regenerative Knee Injections Are Replacing Steroids
If knee pain is holding you back, you’re not alone, especially if you’ve been told that steroid injections are your only option. At DrBK Clinic, we’re proud to offer regenerative knee injection therapy using advanced, natural alternatives that don’t just mask pain – they help your body heal. This treatment is suitable for those suffering with chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis, sports injuries and more.
Why Move Beyond Steroids?
Steroid (cortisone) injections are a common solution for knee pain and osteoarthritis. While they can offer short-term relief, they don’t support long-term joint health and may even cause tissue damage with repeated use.
That’s why more patients are turning to regenerative therapies — treatments designed to reduce inflammation, repair tissue, and improve mobility over the long term.
What Are the Benefits?
Compared to steroids, regenerative injections offer:
✅ Pain reduction
✅ Reduced inflammation
✅ Enhanced tissue healing
✅ Improved joint lubrication
✅ Long-term mobility and function support
✅ Reduced cartilage breakdown
The Regenerative Options: What’s Involved?
We offer three scientifically backed injectable treatments, which can be used in isolation or in combination, depending on individual cases:
🔹 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Made from your own blood, PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.
- It reduces inflammation and promotes repair of cartilage and soft tissue.
- Suitable for early to moderate osteoarthritis or injury-related inflammation.
🔹 Polynucleotides
- A newer generation of injectable, polynucleotides act as biological stimulants.
- They help regenerate cartilage and support cellular repair within the joint.
- Particularly useful for chronic inflammation and degenerative conditions.
🔹 Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
- Often called a “joint lubricant”, HA is naturally found in the body.
- When injected, it restores shock absorption and reduces friction, easing pain and improving movement.
- Works well for patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
In many cases, the best results come from a personalised combination of these treatments. We assess each patient individually to design a treatment that fits your specific symptoms and joint health.
