Knee Pain Treatment London
Knee Joint
The knee is one of the most commonly treated joints at Proback. Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection technique that uses dextrose solution to stimulate the bodyโs own repair response in damaged ligaments, tendons and joint structures – addressing the underlying instability that is often the true cause of chronic knee pain.
Trained and affiliated to the highest European standardProback is the official UK affiliate of the European School of Prolotherapy, led by Dr Stephen Cavallino – one of Europe’s leading authorities in regenerative injection therapy. We host the ESP’s UK training programme annually, bringing European clinical standards directly to British practitioners. When you receive prolotherapy at Proback, you’re treated by clinicians trained within that same framework.
How Prolotherapy Treats the Knee
Many cases of chronic knee pain – including those labelled as arthritis, meniscus
damage or โwear and tearโ – have an underlying component of ligament laxity or
joint instability. When the ligaments that hold the knee together are weakened or
damaged, the joint moves incorrectly, accelerating cartilage breakdown and causing
persistent pain.
Prolotherapy addresses this directly. A small volume of dextrose solution is injected
with precision into the affected ligaments, tendons and joint capsule. This triggers a
localised healing response – the body lays down new collagen fibres, tightening and
strengthening the damaged structures. As stability is restored, pain typically reduces
and function improves.
Conditions Treated
- Knee osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration
- ACL, MCL and PCL ligament laxity or partial tears
- Meniscus tears and degeneration
- Knee instability and recurrent giving way
- Post-surgical knee pain
- Patellofemoral syndrome (kneecap pain)
- Pes anserine bursitis and tendinopathy
What a Course of Treatment Involves
Prolotherapy for the knee typically involves three to six injections, spaced three to five weeks apart. Each injection is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement. Most patients notice progressive improvement across the course.
A mild ache or stiffness for one to two days after each injection is normal and indicates the healing response is active.
Prolotherapy vs Cortisone for the Knee
Cortisone injections are commonly offered for knee pain on the NHS and privately, but they work by suppressing inflammation – not repairing the underlying tissue. Studies increasingly show that repeated cortisone injections can accelerate cartilage
breakdown over time. Prolotherapy works in the opposite direction: it stimulates repair rather than suppression, producing structural improvement that tends to last.

Our Credentials
Proback is the official UK affiliate of the European School of Prolotherapy, founded by Dr Stephen Cavallino MD – one of Europeโs leading authorities in regenerative injection therapy. All injection treatments are performed by certified practitioners under ultrasound guidance.
Why Conventional Knee Treatments Often Fail
Physiotherapy strengthens the muscles but cannot repair damaged cartilage, ligaments or tendons. Steroid injections suppress inflammation temporarily but accelerate tissue breakdown with repeated use. Hyaluronic acid injections lubricate the joint but do not address the underlying damage. Surgery removes or replaces damaged tissue but carries significant risks and lengthy recovery. None of these address the underlying tissue damage at source – which is why so many people are stuck in a cycle of repeat treatments that work for shorter and shorter periods. At Proback we work differently โ our regenerative treatments stimulate the body to repair the damage from within rather than managing the symptoms.
Regenerative Knee Pain Treatments at Proback - London
Prolozone Therapy Medical grade ozone and natural nutrients delivered directly into the knee joint. Reduces inflammation, dramatically improves oxygenation and circulation and stimulates the body’s own regenerative process. Particularly effective for osteoarthritis, cartilage damage and chronic knee inflammation. Prolotherapy A natural dextrose solution injected precisely into the damaged ligaments and soft tissue of the knee to stimulate new collagen production and tissue repair from within. Highly effective for ligament laxity, instability and chronic knee pain. Ultrasound Guided Hydro-Release Using our SonoSite ultrasound machine we locate and release fascial adhesions, scar tissue and trapped structures around the knee with pinpoint precision โ restoring normal movement and reducing pain at source. Shockwave Therapy Acoustic wave therapy delivered deep into the affected soft tissue โ breaking down chronic inflammation and restarting the healing process in tissue that has stopped repairing itself. Particularly effective for tendinopathy and calcific deposits. K-Laser Therapy High powered laser therapy that penetrates deep into the knee tissue to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate cellular healing. Indiba Radiofrequency Deep tissue radiofrequency therapy that stimulates cellular repair and reduces chronic inflammation in and around the knee joint.

Knee pain often start with a traumatic event, such as a fall or a stretched like a football injury. Often, over time, the knee joint becomes stiff and can also become swollen. Knee joint instability is one of the most common cause of knee pain.
In several cases, patients knee instability goes undiagnosed which leads them to unnecessary knee surgery.
In cases of instability, weakness or tears of the ligaments and tendon attachments surrounding the knee joint causes debilitating pain. Knee instability can also result in the kneecap tracking abnormally, causing pain and the cartilage under the kneecap to wear down.
How Soft Tissue Injury Leads to Degenerative Arthritis?
Following a trauma, ligaments can become sprained and โlooseโ. If left untreated, the joint instability can result in destructive joint motion ultimately leading to extensive degenerative changes and osteoarthritis.
Our regenerative treatments can be used for arthritic joints as well, but early interventions can potentially save a lot time and improve quality of life significantly.
FAQs
Yes - Prolotherapy, Prolozone and ultrasound guided Hydro-Release are all non-surgical regenerative treatments that work by stimulating the body's own repair process. Many of our patients come to us having been told surgery is their only option and have seen results that have allowed them to avoid or significantly delay that decision.
Most knee cases require three to six sessions. We review progress at each visit and adjust the plan accordingly
Yes - we regularly treat both knees in the same appointment. The first knee is ยฃ275 and the second knee is ยฃ85 - so both knees together cost ยฃ360 in one session.
Results vary by individual and severity. Many patients experience lasting improvement - often for several years - particularly where the root cause was ligament laxity rather than end-stage cartilage loss.
Yes, in many cases. While prolotherapy cannot regenerate cartilage that has been completely lost, it can stabilise the joint, reduce inflammation and significantly reduce pain even in advanced arthritis. We will give you an honest assessment at your consultation.

What Our Patients Say
Helping Patients Become Pain-Free Since 2007
"I went to Proback because I had excruciating pain in my right knee. Dr Chris Allard checked me out. He recommended Prolotherapy for a small tear in my knee ligaments and an ozone injection as well. I had three sessions in all. There was 80% improvement after the first treatment. The improvement carried on over the other two sessions. I am pain free now. I highly recommend this clinic."

Vladimir’s story started with knee pain. He had experienced this for a number of years alongside an underlying back problem. After surgeries and multiple injections to his knee with no relief, his back pain only got worse. This forced Vladimir to stop working and spiral into depression.
