Regenerative & Biological Treatments

Regenerative and biological treatments are innovative, minimally invasive therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing process. These treatments focus on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues, especially in orthopaedics, sports injuries, spine care, and chronic degenerative conditions. The most commonly used modalities in this domain include Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) therapy. These interventions aim to reduce inflammation, improve pain, and restore function by stimulating tissue repair at the cellular level. Best Regenerative Treatment in Bandra, Mumbai

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy uses undifferentiated cells capable of transforming into various types of tissue cells such as cartilage, bone, or muscle. These are typically harvested from bone marrow or adipose tissue and then injected into the site of injury or degeneration. The therapy promotes regeneration and healing, especially in joints, intervertebral discs, and tendons.

  • Sourced from bone marrow or fat (autologous).
  • Can differentiate into bone, cartilage, or soft tissue.
  • Commonly used for osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, and disc degeneration.
  • Helps reduce pain and improve function over time.
  • Considered safe, with low risk of rejection when using the patient’s own cells.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP involves extracting a patient’s own blood, concentrating the platelets using a centrifuge, and injecting it into the affected area. Platelets are rich in growth factors and cytokines that stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration.

  • Autologous treatment with minimal risk of allergy.
  • Contains high levels of healing-promoting growth factors.
  • Commonly used for tendinitis, ligament injuries, joint pain, and muscle strains.
  • Effective in early to moderate osteoarthritis.
  • Outpatient procedure with quick recovery.
Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) Therapy

GFC therapy is a more refined form of PRP, where only the essential growth factors are concentrated and extracted from the blood. This purified concentrate is injected into the site of injury or degeneration, offering targeted, potent healing without the cellular components found in PRP.

  • Extracts only the growth factors from the blood.
  • More targeted and potent than standard PRP.
  • No blood cells or platelets remain in the injection.
  • Used for joint degeneration, skin rejuvenation, hair loss, and sports injuries.
  • Rapid procedure, often with less post-injection discomfort.
