The Importance of Proper Diagnosis

At Unika Medical Centre, we believe that a proper diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Before recommending any orthobiologic solutions, we conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure an accurate diagnosis. This allows us to discuss the most suitable methods, expected results, and possible alternatives in detail, ensuring you receive the best possible care.

Our Advanced Procedures

Our orthobiologic procedures range from injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into joints or tendons to more advanced methods. These include combining PRP with other biological materials, injecting into the bone, or adding adipose (fat) tissue grafts to support cell growth. Each treatment is tailored to the individual needs of our patients, providing non-surgical pain relief and promoting natural healing.

Case Study: Successful Treatment of Low Back Pain

Ms. T, a 35-year-old police officer, suffered from low back pain. Her history and MRI indicated an issue with the L5/S1 disc, but the L4/5 disc was also degenerative. A special diagnostic procedure confirmed that the L4/5 disc was the source of her pain. An intradiscal PRP injection significantly reduced her pain within three months, and personalized physiotherapy helped restore her function. Without a proper diagnosis, the wrong disc might have been treated.

FAQs: Orthobiologics (Regenerative Medicine) Injections

Orthobiologics are natural substances like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells used to promote healing and repair in injured tissues.

Orthobiologic injections can treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament damage, and chronic joint pain.

These injections stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by delivering concentrated growth factors and cells directly to the injured area.

Yes, since Orthobiologics use the patient’s own cells or natural substances, the risk of side effects is minimal, and they are generally considered safe.

Results vary, but many patients begin to notice improvement within a few weeks, with continued healing and symptom relief over several months.
