Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) Treatment for Knee Pain: Advanced Regenerative Therapy by Dr. N.K. Aggarwal
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) Treatment for Knee Pain: Advanced Regenerative Therapy by Dr. N.K. Aggarwal
Leading the Way in Non-Surgical Knee Pain Solutions
Knee pain has become one of the most debilitating conditions affecting people across all age groups—from young athletes dealing with sports injuries to older adults struggling with osteoarthritis. At N.K. Aggarwal Joints and Spine Centre, Dr. N. K. Aggarwal understands that knee pain isn’t just about discomfort; it’s about losing the freedom to live life on your terms.While conventional treatments often provide only temporary relief and surgery seems like the inevitable next step, Dr. Aggarwal brings hope through advanced regenerative medicine. With his expertise in cutting-edge orthopedic therapies, he now offers Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) treatment a revolutionary, non-surgical approach that harnesses your body’s natural healing power to address knee pain at its source. It is usually combined with additional non surgical treatments, like Arthroscopic knee lavage to remove the debris and reduce the inflammatory load, Hyaluronic acid injection and intra articular Ozone injections. These procedures are complimentary to each other and help maximize the benefits of the treatment, making it more efficacious and long lasting.
What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)?
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor is a powerful, naturally occurring protein found in your blood platelets that plays a vital role in tissue healing and regeneration. Think of PDGF as your body’s biological repair signal—it tells your cells to spring into action, repair damaged tissues, build new blood vessels, and regenerate healthy cartilage in your knee joint.
Dr. Aggarwal utilizes this remarkable healing substance by concentrating it from your own blood and delivering it precisely where your knee needs it most. This treatment works with your body’s natural biology, not against it, making it a safe and effective option for patients seeking alternatives to surgery.
How Dr. Aggarwal Uses PDGF Treatment for Knee Pain
At our clinic, Dr. Aggarwal employs a sophisticated approach to PDGF therapy. The treatment begins with drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then processed using specialized medical equipment to concentrate the growth factors to therapeutic levels. This platelet-rich concentrate is then carefully injected into your affected knee joint under precise guidance.
Once inside your knee, PDGF gets to work through multiple healing pathways:
- Activates your body’s stem cells and repair cells to target the damaged area
- Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, enhancing circulation and nutrient supply
- Encourages cartilage cells to produce healthy tissue matrix
- Significantly reduces inflammation that causes pain and stiffness
- Supports repair of damaged ligaments, tendons, and surrounding soft tissues
- Creates an optimal healing environment within the joint
Remarkable Benefits of PDGF Treatment at Our Clinic
Dr. Aggarwal’s patients choosing PDGF therapy experience numerous advantages:
Natural & Safe: Uses your own biological materials, eliminating concerns about rejection or adverse reactions

Minimal Downtime: Resume most daily activities within days, unlike the months of recovery required after knee surgery
Addresses Root Causes: Unlike pain medications that only mask symptoms, PDGF works to heal damaged tissues
Delay or Avoid Surgery: Many patients successfully postpone or completely avoid knee replacement surgery with timely PDGF treatment

- Early to moderate knee osteoarthritis
