Dr SRK Dikshith specializes in regenerative care, combining his knowledge and expertise in orthopedics with the most advanced technology and medical breakthroughs. Dr. Dikshith is dedicated to providing the most effective and efficient treatments, including stem cell therapy, PRP therapy, regenerative medicine for orthopaedics treatment.

What are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are unique cells that can self-renew and differentiate into other specialized cell types, such as bone, muscle, or cartilage. That makes them valuable in orthopedics, where these tissues often need repair or replacement. Stem cells can differentiate into several types of tissue, making them potentially useful in treating a wide variety of orthopedic conditions.

Stem Cells and Orthopedic Conditions

When treating orthopedic conditions like osteoarthritis or tendonitis, stem cells offer a new potential frontier. Dr. Dikshith utilizes these cells as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to alleviate pain and inflammation and potentially repair damaged tissue.

How Does Stem Cell Treatment Work in Orthopedics?

Stem cells are typically harvested from the patient's own body, usually from the bone marrow or adipose tissue. Once the cells are collected, they’re processed and injected into the area of injury under ultrasound guidance. That allows the cells to get to work, helping to repair damaged tissues.

The Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy In Orthopedics

Stem cell therapy stands out as a potent tool in treating orthopedic conditions, such as Knee Arthritis and shoulder rotator cuff tears. Conditions which can be treated with stem cell therapy include :

  • Osteoarthritis of knee , hip, ankle
  • Knee ligament injuries
  • Knee meniscal injuries
  • Cartilage lesions of the knee , patella , chondromalacia
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Shoulder ligament injury , rotator cuff tears,
  • Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow
  • Tendinopathies , ligament and tendon disorders
  • Achilles tendinopathy, injuries
  • Bursitis around the joints

Traditional methods may require extended rehabilitation periods and still not guarantee a total return to previous activity levels. However, injecting stem cells directly into the injury site can potentially expedite healing by stimulating tissue repair and reducing inflammation, creating potentially quicker recovery and less downtime.

Natural, Versatile, and Minimally Invasive

Stem cell treatment utilizes the body's own cells, making it a natural treatment approach. Furthermore, it is minimally invasive, often involving only a tiny incision to harvest the cells and a needle injection to deliver them to the area of need..

Potential for Improved Healing

By delivering a concentrated dose of reparative cells directly into the damaged area, stem cell therapy may enhance body’s own healing process.

It May Reduce The Need for Surgery

An exciting potential benefit of stem cell therapy in orthopedics is its capacity to reduce the need for surgeries. Many orthopedic issues, particularly those related to severe joint damage or chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, have traditionally required surgical intervention for substantial relief.  However, with the regenerative capabilities of stem cells, there's potential for damaged tissue to be repaired at a cellular level, effectively restoring the functionality of the joint or affected area. In cases where this therapy is successful, it eliminates the need for an invasive surgical procedure.  The potential of stem cells in the field of orthopedics is immense. By harnessing the body's healing abilities, treatments like these open new pathways to pain relief and recovery.

1. PRP is a Natural Healer

PRP therapy uses the person’s own platelets to promote healing. Platelets are a component of the blood primarily responsible for clotting, but they also possess impressive healing properties.  When concentrated and reintroduced to the body, they can significantly expedite the healing process. Because the therapy harnesses the body's natural elements, it encourages organic healing and rejuvenation, reducing the need for synthetic substances or invasive procedures.

2. Promising Results in Sports Medicine and Orthopedics

There has been excellent results using PRP therapy for sports medicine and orthopedics. By boosting the body's natural healing response, PRP can reduce inflammation and pain, providing relief to people experiencing sprains and other injuries. Furthermore, people with conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or chronic lower back pain have seen significant improvements in their symptoms.

3. Speedy Recovery with PRP

PRP therapy promotes quicker recovery times, which is one of the reasons it's so popular in treating orthopaedic conditions . By accelerating tissue repair and reducing inflammation, patients often experience a faster return to their day to day and sports activities. It's not just about getting back in the game quicker; it's about ensuring thorough and complete healing, reducing the risk of re-injury.

4. Low-Risk, High Reward

Since PRP therapy utilizes the person’s own blood, there is a minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects. That, coupled with the promising therapeutic outcomes, makes PRP a low-risk and high-reward treatment option. 
This cutting-edge regenerative technique represents a significant step forward in medicine, providing a natural, effective, and safe approach to healing. Whether you're living with a chronic condition or recovering from an injury, PRP therapy could be the solution you've been seeking.

What Is Platelat-rich Plasma (PRP)?

Our blood which is mostly plasma , contains small solid components (red cells, white cells, and platelets). Among those, The platelets are best known for their importance in clotting blood. However, platelets also contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors that are very important in the healing of injuries. PRP is essentially plasma with many more platelets than what is typically found in blood. The concentration of platelets — and, thereby, the concentration of growth factors — can be 5 to 10 times greater (or richer) than usual.

How PRP is Made/ Harvested ?

To develop a PRP preparation, blood must first be drawn from a patient. The platelets are separated from other blood cells and their concentration is increased by spinning the blood down during a process called centrifugation. This plasma which is rich in Platelets is called PRP ( Platelet Rich Plasma ) .

How Does PRP Work?

This PRP is injected into the injured or damaged area in our body. This PRP is rich in growth factors which promote healing . Laboratory studies have shown that the increased concentration of growth factors in PRP may potentially speed up the healing process.

Which Conditions are Treated with PRP? Is It Effective?

Research studies are currently being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of PRP treatment. Recent research has shown that certain tendon problems can have improved outcomes with PRP injections. Additionally, more and more literature is showing the significant effectiveness of PRP in the treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. PRP is effective in treating :

  • Mild to moderate Knee Arthritis
  • Tendon and ligament injuries of the knee
  • Tendinopathies of the knee like patellar tendinitis
  • Partial ACL / MCL injuries
  • Shoulder ligament injuries like Rotator cuff tears
  • Cartilage lesions on the knee
  • Tennis elbow , achilles tendinitis

PRP and Regenerative medicine in orthopedics are found to have very promising results in treating various conditions like Knee arthritis.
