How the Procedure Works

At Silver Pain Centre, the Osteoarthritis and Knee Pain Program using Autologous Protein Solution (APS) is performed in-office by experienced physicians, offering a safe and personalized approach to treating joint pain and inflammation.

Step-by-Step Process:



Assessment & Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment to confirm your diagnosis, evaluate your symptoms, and determine if APS therapy is right for you.



Blood Draw & APS Preparation

A small sample of your blood is collected and processed using an APS kit to isolate concentrated “good” proteins and growth factors that target inflammation and support cartilage repair.



Injection into the Affected Joint

The prepared APS solution is precisely injected into the painful or inflamed joint (most commonly the knee). The injection takes place in-office and typically lasts only a few minutes.



Post-Treatment Care & Recovery

After your injection, you may experience temporary discomfort or swelling. Most patients resume light activities within days, and you’ll receive personalized guidance to support healing and maximize outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does APS Therapy Work?

APS (Autologous Protein Solution) therapy uses a sample of your own blood to isolate and concentrate beneficial proteins that help block inflammation and support cartilage health. These proteins are then injected into the affected joint to reduce pain, improve function, and slow joint degeneration.

What Conditions Can APS Therapy Treat?

APS therapy is primarily used to treat mild to moderate osteoarthritis, especially in the knee joint. It may also benefit patients experiencing joint-related pain, stiffness, or mobility limitations who are looking for a non-surgical solution.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The APS procedure is performed in-office and typically takes about 60–90 minutes, including blood collection, processing, and injection into the affected joint.

How Soon Will I See Results?

Some patients may experience relief within a few days, but peak results typically occur within 2–4 weeks. Improvements in pain, swelling, and joint mobility may continue to develop over several months.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Many patients experience significant improvement after just one treatment. However, depending on your symptoms and response, your specialist may recommend a second injection after 6–12 months.
