What to Expect After a PRP Injection for Your Knee
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are an increasingly popular treatment for knee osteoarthritis and cartilage damage. PRP uses your body’s own healing factors to reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue repair.
But once the injection is done, the healing process is just beginning. A key question many patients ask is:
"How soon can I walk after a PRP injection?"
The answer depends on how well you support your joint during recovery—and the BCI TCO Knee Brace can make all the difference.
How Soon Can I Walk After PRP Injection?
Most patients can resume light walking within 1–2 days after a PRP injection, but it’s important to:
Avoid high-impact activity for at least 7–10 days
Support the joint with a brace or walking aid, especially if you experience discomfort
Gradually reintroduce stairs, inclines, or long distances
The early recovery phase is critical. Walking too soon without proper knee support could lead to:
Increased inflammation
Reduced effectiveness of the injection
Delayed tissue healing
That’s where the BCI TCO Knee Brace comes in—it’s designed to protect and support your joint post-injection.
Why Use a Knee Brace After PRP?
PRP injections address pain and damage in all parts of the knee, especially in cases of tricompartmental osteoarthritis (TCO). This means the entire joint is vulnerable and needs extra care.
Wearing a TCO-specific knee brace helps by:
Reducing joint pressure during walking
Improving alignment and weight distribution
Preventing pain flare-ups after activity
Maximizing your injection results over time
Why Choose the BCI TCO Knee Brace?
The BCI TCO Knee Brace is specifically engineered to support knees with full-compartment osteoarthritis, including after PRP, gel, or stem cell injections.
