Rebuilding Your Knees with PRP, HA & AIMS

🦵 Rebuilding Your Knees with PRP, HA & AIMS

The Knee Pain Dilemma

Chronic knee pain changes how you move, sleep, and live. Whether from arthritis, overuse, or prior injury, millions of people walk around Brooklyn every day with swelling, stiffness, and joint damage that limits their life.

Many have been told their only option is surgery. But there’s another path—one that focuses on regeneration, not replacement. At our clinic, we use a combination of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections, and Intramuscular Stimulation (AIMS) to help you rebuild your knees—safely, effectively, and without downtime.

👨‍⚕️ Understanding the Tools

Let’s break down how each therapy contributes to knee restoration:

1. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP involves drawing your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and reinjecting the platelet-rich layer into your knee. This layer is filled with growth factors that:

• Stimulate cartilage repair
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve joint lubrication

2. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections
HA is a natural lubricant found in healthy joints. When injected, it:

• Cushions bone-on-bone contact
• Enhances mobility
• Reduces creaking and grinding sensations

3. Intramuscular Stimulation (AIMS)
AIMS targets dysfunctional muscle patterns and nerve sensitivity that often make knee pain worse. Using micro-needling techniques, it helps:

• Calm overactive nerves
• Reactivate underused stabilizers
• Improve coordination and gait

AIMS also supports motor relearning, helping the brain form new movement patterns that reduce strain and build resilience.

🧠 Why This Approach Works

Knee pain isn’t just about cartilage—it’s about how the joint moves, how the muscles respond, and how the nerves communicate with your brain. PRP and HA address the biological layer, while AIMS addresses the neuromuscular layer. Together, they:

• Reduce swelling and stiffness
• Enhance stability and strength
• Improve confidence with walking, climbing, and exercise
• Support brain-muscle retraining for long-term function

This approach helps patients avoid or delay surgery—especially when the goal is long-term function, not just short-term relief.

🔄 Case Study: Real Brooklyn Results

“After my second PRP with HA and AIMS, I could go up stairs again without pain. My ortho had told me to wait for surgery, but this gave me back control.”— J.L., 58, Park Slope

This is one of dozens of success stories we see each month. The key is customizing the plan to the specific dysfunction in your knee, not just following a one-size-fits-all protocol.

🔁 Complementary Therapies That Maximize Outcomes

To maximize results, we frequently integrate:

• EMTT: Adds deep-level nerve regulation and inflammation control
• Laser Therapy: Boosts microcirculation and supports collagen repair
• Cryotherapy: Reduces soreness after injections or rehab sessions
• Physical Therapy: Reinforces proper biomechanics and strength

This holistic strategy aligns tissue regeneration, nerve modulation, and movement optimization into one cohesive path toward knee recovery.

🧪 Beyond the Joint: Whole-Body Gains

Knee pain often causes chain reactions: hip tension, lower back misalignment, and reduced cardiovascular activity. Once the knee improves, patients report:

• Better posture and gait
• More energy and physical endurance
• Improved sleep and daily mood
• Lower stress from no longer fearing movement

Treating the knee properly means reclaiming more than motion—it restores your entire rhythm of life.

🔍 Who’s a Candidate?

You may benefit if you:

• Have chronic knee pain that limits daily activity
• Want to avoid or delay total knee replacement
• Have mild to moderate osteoarthritis
• Suffer from joint instability after injury
• Have already tried meds or PT without full relief

We treat active adults, seniors, post-surgical patients, and even athletes looking to recover without performance loss.
