Dr. Shounuck Patel and his team at The Patel Center for Functional Regeneration provide advanced cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments as effective knee surgery alternatives. These regenerative medicine treatments alleviate knee pain and stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal from injuries in the knee. Common issues treated by regenerative medicine treatments include ACL tears, knee arthritis, tendonitis and knee wear and tear.
Common knee problems
Many knee problems are a result of the aging process and continuous wear and tear on the knee. Other knee problems are a result of an sport-related injury or a sudden movement that strains the knee. Common knee injuries treated with regenerative medicine treatments include:
- Arthritis
- ACL Tears
- Sprains
- Strained Knee Ligaments
- Tendonitis
- Torn cartilage
Cell Treatments for Knee Arthritis
Cell treatments for knee arthritis is an effective method for treating soft tissue areas. Dr. Patel’s uses an advanced process to create micro-fragmented tissue (MFAT) as non-surgical knee replacement alternative treatments. MFAT is composed of adipose fat taken from the patient. The MFAT is then injected into the affected area using ultrasound-guided precision technology.
Cell Therapy Treatments as a Knee Replacement Surgery Alternatives
While knee replacement surgery is sometimes necessary, it does not come without the risk of complications and extended downtime for recovery and rehabilitation.
Cell Therapy Treatment for ACL Tears
Full and partial tears of the knee’s ACL are common injuries in young athletes. Traditionally, many doctors have recommended surgery for these types of sport-related knee injuries. Studies have shown that cell therapy is an effective alternative to effectively treating ACL tears. Many patients have been able to avoid surgery for ACL injuries all together with the use of these effective treatments and physical therapy.
