Nonsurgical biologic based treatment is now the new thing and at NHS Hospital we have been following regenerative medical therapies for treatment of musculoskeletal diseases over the last two years.
Stem cell injection therapy provides nonsurgical treatment options to provide long lasting relief from chronic joint pains. In this we utilise patient’s own stem cells which are generated from your bone marrow a spirit and the growth factors to try and repair the damaged tissue hence reducing the pain and promoting the healing.
Use of hyaluronic acid which is naturally present in the human tissue joint in the form of an injection increases the shock absorbing and lubricant properties in the joints. Visco-supplementation increases the bodies natural supply of hyaluronic acid and helps the athletic joints to reduce pain and swelling.
Platelet rich plasma therapy or PRP utilises platelets from a patient’s own blood to rebuild the damaged tendons or cartilage. It has been successful not only in relieving the pain but also in jumpstarting the healing process.
