Regenerative Hip Therapies: Degenerative hip conditions are often treated conservatively with physiotherapy, steroids (corticosteroid injections), painkillers, and anti-inflammatories until the inevitable partial or full hip replacement surgery is required. Joint replacement, particularly at a young age, is not optimal as it significantly reduces patient’s ability to perform sports activities and has a limited lifespan.
Bio-regenerative treatments help delay and potentially avoid surgery all together, conditions which can be treated include arthritis, degenerative conditions, osteonecrosis, hip bursitis, labral tears, tendinopathy, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, symphysis pubis arthritis, and sports injuries affecting the hip joint and surrounding area.
Regenerative Foot and Ankle Therapies: Common foot and ankle issues include chronic or acute Achilles Tendon complete and partial ruptures, Tarsal tunnel syndrome, Morton’s Neuroma, Ligamentous injuries, Ankle sprains, and dislocations, Ankle instability, Plantar Fasciitis, and Osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis. Traditional treatments include painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and operative treatment, including arthroscopy and reconstructive surgery.
Bio-regenerative therapies stimulating the regenerative process, resolving the underlying cause for the condition and the resulting inflammation.
Treatments Include:
Regenerative Knee Therapies: Bio-regenerative treatments are well suited for treating a wide variety of knee conditions including chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis but also sports injuries, ACL tears, meniscus tears and tendon ruptures. Degenerative knee changes are particularly debilitating as they have an impact on our movement and everyday activities – from simply getting out of bed in the morning, through work, to more strenuous sporting activities. Increased rates of depression have been associated with knee disorders and knee surgery, caused by being less mobile and less self-sufficient. Common treatments include pharmacological treatments with painkillers, anti-inflammatories, as well as biological treatment with the use of steroid injections. In many cases surgical treatment is recommended. Bio-regenerative treatments have proven to have be a good alternative to delaying and/or avoiding knee surgery in a number of conditions.
Wrist and Hand Therapies: Pain and discomfort of the hand and wrist can feel particularly debilitating given so much of what we do requires our hands. Conditions that are commonly treated with bio-regenerative treatments include, hand arthritis, bursitis and joint pains, Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears; Carpal tunnel syndrome; and Tendon injuries.
Elbow Therapies: Chronic cases of ‘tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and arthritis, resulting from inflammation, aggravated and torn connecting tissue, and soreness due to overuse, can be treated through physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory drugs.
More chronic conditions can be treated with bio-regenerative therapies to stave off the need for immediate surgery and help mend the tendon and tissue area.
Spine Therapies: Acute or chronic neck or lower back pain, can often be associated with a bulging or herniated disc, which suggests the discs are in the early stages of degeneration which can be further aggravated by inflammation. The pain can be debilitating, which results in excessive use of painkillers, anti-inflammatories and steroid injections, all these masking the pain rather than addressing the root cause. A combination of bio-regenerative therapies and physiotherapy techniques can address the pain and inflammation and delay and potentially avoid the need for invasive fusion surgery.
Shoulder Therapies: Shoulder injuries like small cuff tears, labrum, arthritis or other chronic conditions like tendonitis and bursitis, or sports injuries often degenerate quickly with the risk of needing surgery. Traditional treatments include painkillers, anti-inflammatories, or steroid treatments (cortisone injection) which in many cases only mask the pain.
An alternative to surgery are bio-regenerative treatments which regenerate the damaged cells restoring the joints function.
