Cartilage regeneration attempts to restore damaged articular (joint) cartilage. Several techniques have been used for cartilage regeneration. While some of these are being used today, researchers continue to look into new ways to regrow cartilage in an attempt to give people relief from the pain of osteoarthritis.

The process involves planting cartilage-producing cells or chondrocytes into a biological scaffold and then incubating them in conditions similar to those found in the human body.

Joint preservation techniques are used in patients with cartilage defects to preserve the joints and to restore the function.

Articular cartilage is the cartilage that covers the bony surface of joints. It has a smooth surface which allows the bones of the knee joint to slide over each other with very little friction. Articular cartilage is often damaged by injury or normal wear and tear. Articular cartilage, when damaged or worn away, the affected joint becomes painful, stiff, and has limited range of motion. As the articular cartilage has limited ability to heal by itself, surgical repair may be required to stimulate the growth of new cartilage. Articular cartilage restoration relieves pain, improve function and can delay or prevent the onset of arthritis in the joint.

You may not be ready for surgery yet, and opioids have side effects that you might not want. That’s why we bring a non-surgical relief to those suffering from chronic pain, without the use of opioids.

The procedure is a minimally invasive treatment option targeting nerves that transmit pain signals and the first and only radiofrequency treatment FDA-cleared for the relief of osteoarthritis knee pain.
