Regenerative Orthopaedics is a minimally invasive treatment technique which boosts the body’s ability to heal diseased or damaged cells after an injury, arthritis, or other degenerative condition, with little to no downtime. This paves an alternate way for the patients to improve their overall quality of life without the need of surgery. Regenerative Orthopaedics uses substances from your own body to rejuvenate, regenerate, and repair injured muscles, ligaments, and cartilage to treat orthopaedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, low back pain, joint injuries, ligament injuries, sprains and strains etc. This therapy uses:
- Stem cells: Obtained from the bone marrow or fat to promote new tissue growth for repair and healing.
- Platelets: Obtained from blood in the form of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and is injected into the injured area to promote healing.
- Growth factors: These are proteins obtained from blood which aid in tissue repair and regeneration.
Thus, the advantages with Regenerative Orthopaedics are:
- Helps to avoid or delay surgery
- Accelerate healing after surgery or injury
- Minimally invasive
- Safe and natural healing
- No side effects
- No long hospital stays
- Return to normal activities in 72 hours
After the procedure, it is common to have tenderness at the injection site with slight stiffness and swelling. Pain relief will be slow as it takes time for the regenerative cells to promote the growth and repair of the damaged cells. However, the end results are long lasting. It may take upto six months for you to experience the full benefits of the treatment.
