Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains what happens after biologic therapies like PRP injections. Most patients feel relief within 3 to 5 days, though the treatment keeps working for 3 to 5 months. You'll need to take it easy for a couple of weeks, and doctors can stack multiple injections for severe cases.

With biologics therapies. There are many variables that we encounter when we talk about recovery. In most cases, people have very little downtime. For instance, a PRP injection for your knee. We ask you to take it easy for up to a couple of weeks. But most people start to feel some relief, start to feel some effect of the injection without about three to five days. The injection will continue to work and release its materials for up to three to five months and will continue to improve for that time. Oftentimes, we'll even stack injections, particularly with worse cases of arthritis or more severe injuries.
