Stem Cell and Platelet-Rich Plasma Procedures for Knee Arthritis, Meniscus Tears, Tendon & Ligament Tears, Overuse Injuries and Other Conditions
Knee pain can affect nearly every part of daily life. Simple movements like walking up stairs, standing from a chair, or bending down to pick something up can become uncomfortable and limiting. For active people, knee pain may interfere with running, sports, or workouts. Even putting weight on the joint during everyday activities can be discouraging when discomfort is constant.

How Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine May Help Knee Injuries and Arthritis.
Instead of masking symptoms or turning to invasive surgery, regenerative treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy from bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) work to stimulate the body’s own repair processes. These advanced, image-guided injections deliver concentrated healing components directly into the injured or arthritic knee, with the goal of reducing pain and restoring function over time. Commonly treated conditions include:
- Arthritis
- Meniscus Tears
- ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL sprain or tear
- Knee Instability
- Patellofemoral Syndrome/Chondromalacia
- Pes anserine bursitis
- Baker’s cyst
- Patellar tendonitis
- Biceps Femoris Insertional Tendinopathy
- Hamstrings Tendinopathy
This is not a complete list, so please contact us if you have questions about whether you or your knee condition can be treated with these non-surgical procedures.
Knee Stem Cell and PRP Procedures at RegenOrthoSport
Dr. Movva offers a range of minimally invasive, non-surgical regenerative therapies designed to target the root causes of knee pain:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) – Uses concentrated platelets from your blood to stimulate tissue healing and reduce inflammation.
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) – Provides a rich source of stem cells and growth factors that may help repair damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Each treatment is performed with precision using ultrasound or X-ray guidance to ensure accurate placement.
Dr. Venkatesh Movva is an internationally recognized physician in the field of regenerative orthopedics. He is fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine and board-certified in Pain Management. As the founder of RegenOrthoSport, Dr. Movva has been at the forefront of advancing regenerative treatments for orthopedics.
How Stem Cell Procedures and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Procedures Work
How Stem Cell Procedures Work
Stem cell injection procedures are a minimally invasive treatment designed to help the body repair orthopedic injuries and degenerative conditions. The process begins with collecting bone marrow, which contains stem cells, from the iliac crest of the pelvis. This sample is processed in a centrifuge to create bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), which contains stem cells, growth factors, and other healing components.
Using precise ultrasound or X-ray guidance, the concentrate is injected directly into the injured or arthritic area. Once delivered, these cells release signals that reduce inflammation, encourage tissue repair, and stimulate long-term healing.
Unlike steroid injections or pain medications, which only mask symptoms, stem cell therapy attempts to target the root cause of pain. It is commonly used for arthritis, meniscus injuries, ligament sprains, and tendon damage, offering patients a potential alternative to surgery. Many experience gradual improvement in pain and mobility over the weeks to months following the procedure.
How Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Works
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures are a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to support healing in injured joints, tendons, and ligaments. The procedure begins with a blood draw, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair.
Once prepared, the PRP solution is precisely injected into the injured or painful area using ultrasound or X-ray guidance. The concentrated platelets release signals that stimulate natural healing, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration.
Unlike cortisone injections, which typically provide temporary symptom relief, PRP is designed to promote long-term repair. It is often used for arthritis, tendon injuries such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff problems, ligament sprains, and sports-related conditions. Many patients experience gradual improvement in function and reduced pain over several weeks to months following treatment.
