Introduction
Joint pain is one of the most common reasons people visit orthopaedic specialists. From aching knees and stiff shoulders to degenerative hip pain, the struggle to stay active and pain-free affects millions. While traditional treatments such as physiotherapy and medications can help, new advancements in regenerative orthopaedics are offering hope for longer-lasting relief.
At Ortho Remedy Clinic, we combine innovative treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stem Cell Therapy with personalized rehabilitation plans to help patients heal naturally and regain mobility — without immediately resorting to surgery.
What Is Regenerative Orthopaedics?
Regenerative orthopaedics focuses on helping your body repair damaged tissue using its own natural healing processes. Instead of masking pain, these treatments stimulate healing from within.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): PRP uses a small sample of your own blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate platelets — rich in growth factors that encourage cell repair and regeneration.
- Stem Cell Therapy: Stem cells, often derived from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue, have the unique ability to develop into various types of cells — including bone, cartilage, and muscle cells.
These techniques promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and may even help slow down degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.
How Do PRP and Stem Cell Treatments Work?
PRP and stem cell injections are designed to boost your body’s natural healing response.
- PRP Process:
- Blood is drawn from the patient.
- The platelets are concentrated using centrifugation.
- The solution is injected directly into the injured area (joint, tendon, or muscle).
- Stem Cell Therapy:
- Stem cells are collected (often from bone marrow).
- They’re processed and injected into the affected area under ultrasound guidance.
- Over time, these cells support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and encourage new cell growth.
Conditions That May Benefit from Regenerative Therapy
- Early Osteoarthritis
- Sports Injuries (ligament tears, tendonitis, muscle strains)
- Chronic Joint Pain (knee, hip, shoulder)
- Tendon & Ligament Damage

PRP vs. Traditional Treatments
Unlike medications or steroid injections that only provide temporary relief, regenerative therapies work to heal the tissue, potentially reducing long-term pain. While results vary, many patients report gradual improvements in mobility and pain reduction over several weeks.

Is Regenerative Therapy Right for You?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate — those with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage may require surgical evaluation. However, for mild to moderate joint conditions, these therapies can delay or even prevent surgery.
