What we treat
We help patients return to pain-free movement through modern medical treatments. We specialise in biological therapies and regenerative medicine for the musculoskeletal system.
What conditions can we help you with?
Osteoarthritis, joint wear and joint pain (knees, hips, shoulders and small joints)
Tendon and tendon attachment inflammation or overuse injuries (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, Achilles tendon problems and jumper's knee)
Acute and chronic back pain
Sports injuries (sprains, muscle strains and ligament injuries)
To achieve the best possible results, we use the following methods
1. BioCell X – PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Advanced biological regeneration using your own blood to support the health of joints, tendons and muscles
BioCell X is an advanced form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy used in regenerative orthopaedics. It uses a concentrated preparation derived from your own blood to support the body's natural healing and tissue repair processes, rather than simply masking symptoms.
How does the treatment work?
1. Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is collected.
2. Processing: The blood is processed in a specialised centrifuge to separate its components and prepare a platelet-rich plasma concentrate.
3. Application: The physician injects the prepared plasma into the targeted treatment area.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood (autologous material), the risk of an allergic reaction may be lower than with some foreign substances. However, no medical procedure is entirely risk-free.
What makes PRP special?
Your body has natural mechanisms for tissue repair and regeneration. Following an injury or with conditions such as osteoarthritis, these processes may not be sufficient to restore normal function. PRP therapy aims to support the body's natural repair mechanisms.
Depending on the preparation method, PRP contains concentrated platelets and growth factors, including PDGF, TGF-β and VEGF. These biological components play a role in processes involved in tissue repair and healing and are being studied for their potential applications in the treatment of cartilage, joint, tendon and muscle conditions.
What happens when PRP is injected into the affected area?
Support for the body's inflammatory response: PRP contains biological mediators that may influence inflammation and contribute to symptom relief in some conditions.
Support for tissue repair: Platelets release growth factors involved in cellular activity and the production of structural proteins, including collagen. The clinical response varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient.
Support for tissue healing: Certain growth factors are involved in the formation of small blood vessels and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. The effect of PRP on healing depends on the type of injury and the treatment protocol.
What does the medical evidence say?
PRP has been studied in a range of orthopaedic conditions, including knee osteoarthritis, chronic tendon disorders and sports injuries. Research findings vary according to the condition, the preparation of the PRP and the treatment protocol used.
Osteoarthritis of the knee: Some clinical studies have reported improvements in pain and joint function following PRP treatment, particularly in selected patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis. The degree and duration of benefit vary, and cartilage regeneration or avoidance of joint replacement cannot be guaranteed.
Chronic tendon disorders: Some studies have reported improvements in pain and function after PRP treatment. Results differ between tendon conditions and studies, and the timing and extent of improvement vary.
Individual treatment outcomes: Your physician will assess your diagnosis, symptoms and treatment goals to determine whether PRP may be an appropriate option for you.
Who may benefit from PRP therapy?
Osteoarthritis and joint pain, including the knees, shoulders and hips.
Selected tendon conditions, such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendon disorders.
Sports injuries, including certain muscle and ligament injuries, and selected cases following arthroscopic surgery.
Selected musculoskeletal pain conditions affecting the back, muscles, tendons and joints, depending on the underlying diagnosis.
2. Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Viscosupplementation)
An injectable treatment designed to supplement joint fluid and support smoother joint movement. It may help relieve symptoms and improve joint function in patients with osteoarthritis.
How does the treatment work?
Administration: The physician injects hyaluronic acid directly into the joint, most commonly the knee or hip.
Duration: The procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.
How does it work?
Acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint.
Helps reduce friction and may relieve joint pain.
Supports the properties of joint fluid and may improve mobility.
Who may benefit from this treatment?
Patients with osteoarthritis and joint wear.
Those experiencing joint stiffness or discomfort during movement.
Patients seeking non-surgical treatment options to help manage symptoms and potentially delay the need for joint replacement, where clinically appropriate.

3. PDO Collagen-Stimulating Biodermal Threads
An innovative minimally invasive technique designed to support tissues and stimulate collagen production. Depending on the technique used, it may be considered as part of an individualised approach to musculoskeletal discomfort and tissue support.
How does the treatment work?
Application: The physician inserts fine, absorbable PDO (polydioxanone) threads beneath the skin in the targeted treatment area.
Minimally Invasive Procedure: The treatment is performed using a minimally invasive technique. Local anaesthesia may be used where appropriate.
How does it work?
Provides local support to the treated tissues.
Aims to stimulate the body's own collagen production as the threads are gradually absorbed.
May be used as part of an individualised treatment approach for selected cases of chronic muscle and musculoskeletal discomfort.
Who may be suitable for this treatment?
People experiencing chronic back, neck or joint discomfort, following an individual medical assessment.
Selected cases involving soft-tissue support around tendons and ligaments.
Patients seeking an alternative minimally invasive approach as part of a personalised musculoskeletal treatment plan.

4. Corticosteroid Injections – Targeted Anti-Inflammatory Treatment
A targeted treatment option for acute pain and inflammation, designed to help reduce symptoms and improve mobility when clinically appropriate.
How does the treatment work?
Administration: The physician injects a corticosteroid, an anti-inflammatory medication, into the affected area, targeting the source of pain.
Onset of Relief: Pain relief may begin within hours or days, depending on the condition, the injection site and the individual response.
How does it work?
Reduces inflammation in the treated area.
Helps relieve swelling and tenderness.
May interrupt the cycle of persistent pain and improve movement.
Who may benefit from this treatment?
Acute spinal pain and restricted movement, including selected cases of back or neck pain.
Significant inflammation affecting joints or tendons, where corticosteroid injections are indicated.
Patients whose pain limits everyday activities and for whom other treatment options have not provided sufficient relief.
The physician will assess the cause of your symptoms and determine whether a corticosteroid injection is appropriate for you.

5. PRP & PDO BioFusion – A Combined Approach to Chronic Muscle and Myofascial Pain
A combined approach integrating PDO biodermal threads with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Designed for selected cases of persistent muscle tension, myofascial pain and musculoskeletal discomfort, this protocol combines a minimally invasive thread-based technique with biological treatment using your own blood plasma.
Do you suffer from persistent muscle knots (trigger points), chronic neck or lower back pain, or overloaded tendon attachments? This combined protocol brings together PDO thread technology and modern regenerative medicine using PRP, with the aim of supporting local tissue function and recovery.
Why combine these techniques? The 3D Synergistic Approach
1. Local Tissue Support (PDO): Fine PDO biodermal threads are inserted into the targeted treatment area. The technique aims to provide local tissue support and may be considered as part of an individualised approach to persistent muscle tension and myofascial discomfort.
2. Biological Support for Tissue Repair (PRP): Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prepared from your own blood, contains platelets and growth factors involved in natural tissue repair processes. It is administered to the selected treatment area alongside the PDO thread procedure, with the aim of supporting local healing.
3. Gradual Tissue Remodelling: PDO threads are gradually absorbed by the body. Their use may stimulate collagen-related tissue responses, although the extent and duration of any benefit depend on the treatment technique and individual patient.
Who may be suitable for this treatment?
Patients with chronic myofascial pain, including neck stiffness, pain between the shoulder blades, lower back discomfort and persistent muscle tension.
People with sedentary occupations who experience ongoing muscle tightness or spasms that have not responded adequately to conservative treatment.
Athletes with selected chronic tendon or tendon attachment problems, such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, jumper's knee, Achilles tendon disorders or shoulder impingement.
How is the procedure performed?
Treatment process: A blood sample is collected and processed to prepare PRP. The physician then inserts the PDO thread into the selected treatment area and administers the PRP according to the treatment protocol.
Recovery: The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery time varies depending on the treatment area and individual response; the physician will advise you on returning to work and normal activities.
