Traditional methods of managing degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis and tendinopathies with pain killers and steroid injections, has raised serious concerns.
Similarly, for the sports injuries ranging from tendinopathy and muscle tears to ligament and chondral injuries, traditional methods have failed to give long term solutions.
Regenerative interventions for degenerative spine and joints conditions and Sports injuries not only helps in reducing pain but also helps in repair the damaged tissue.
Q. How it helps in repair?
A. Our own specialized cells divide, and each new cell can become another specialized cell, allowing to continue dividing and replace and repair dead and damaged cells.
Q. What all conditions can be treated?
A. 1.Osteoarthritis of Joints
2.Lateral epicondylitis
3.ligament and muscle strains
4.Tears of the rotator cuff,
5.Tears of anterior cruciate ligament-ACL
6.Achilles tendon injuries
Q. How successful is regenerative medicine in sports injuries?
A. Used properly and administered by qualified professionals, regenerative interventions are proving safe and effective after treatment of many patients.
Selection of the cases is the key for the success of these regenerative therapies. Our physicians are trained and qualified enough to select cases and offer this modality of treatment.
Q. How you can be sure that these cells are injected at the right place?
A. We, at IPSC India, perform all the procedures under ultrasound guidance or fluoroscopic guidance. Our physicians are Musculoskeletal ultrasound specialists and they also, are the trainers.
This helps us in visualising the damaged tissues and we deposit the cells, right at the site of injury.
Q. How long the effect lasts?
A. Tissue repair takes 4-6 weeks’ time. Usually the resting pain and the pain on movements goes down first. This also is an indication of tissue repair. The strengthening of the repaired tissue takes another 4-8 weeks’ time depending on the site of injury and level of injury.
Q. Can the regenerative therapies regrow your normal cartilage of knee joint?
A. Regenerative interventions helps in the repair of the damaged cartilage by covering the damaged area with fibrous tissue. Normal cartilage formation is far from realty as of now. Our scientists are working on it and these therapies are still experimental. We at IPSC India, use only those cells which have proven efficacy.
