Knee osteoarthritis — treatment that delays or avoids joint replacement

Pain, stiffness and swelling in the knee doesn't have to mean surgery.

We combine diagnostic ultrasound, PRP and individualised rehab to slow progression and restore function.

Ultrasound-guided PRP and biological joint treatment for cartilage wear in the knee.

Knee osteoarthritis is cartilage wear in the knee joint causing pain, stiffness and reduced function. With ultrasound-guided PRP, targeted rehab and biological joint treatment, progression can often be slowed — and joint replacement delayed by several years.

How it works

  1. Single visit (~45 min)
    1. 01Ultrasound examination & diagnosis~15 min
      A licensed physiotherapist confirms knee osteoarthritis with diagnostic ultrasound, grades the cartilage wear and creates an individual treatment plan.
    2. 02Ultrasound-guided PRP injection~30 min
      We draw 60–180 ml of blood, centrifuge and concentrate platelet-rich plasma and inject it under ultrasound guidance directly into the knee joint.
  2. 03Pre-optimisationIf needed0–3 months
    In cases of overweight, insulin resistance or systemic inflammation, we optimise metabolic health and loading patterns to maximise the PRP response for upcoming treatments.
  3. 04Rehab and follow-upOngoing
    Individualised strength and mobility programme with regular follow-up to restore function and protect the knee joint long-term.
  4. 05Maintenance treatmentIf neededEvery 3–6 months
    For chronic osteoarthritis, maintenance treatments every 3–6 months help sustain pain relief and function over time.

What is knee osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis) is the most common joint disease in Sweden and occurs when cartilage in the knee gradually breaks down. It causes pain on loading, morning stiffness, swelling and reduced mobility. Without active treatment, symptoms often worsen over the years and may end in joint replacement.

How we treat knee osteoarthritis

We always start with an examination and diagnostic ultrasound by a licensed physiotherapist. Based on the degree of osteoarthritis and your symptoms, we combine ultrasound-guided PRP injection, structured rehab and if needed biological joint treatment. The goal is to reduce pain, restore function and delay — or avoid — joint replacement.
