Regenerative Orthopedics

Regenerative Orthopedics is a new trend in medical thinking. It is not only a paradigm shift, but also points towards the direction that medicine is likely to take in future. It is quite possible that in future all treatments will be based on regenerative medicine. So far all treatments have been based on

• Drugs :
  Whether plant derived or chemicals, usually these drugs were not curative but alleviative, accompanied with minor but sometimes major side effects. This also leads to propaganda against modern medicine in some quarters that Allopathy suppresses symptoms & does not cure. Most often the example of diabetes was cited that there is no cure but you have to take medicine for whole life. This gave rise to some strange �terminology� like painkiller. One can lessen pain or alleviate it, but pain is not an organism that can be killed.
  
  It is well known that a system of exercise has been claiming that they can cure everything including cancers with exercise. To the credit of modern medicine, Allopaths have always refrained from making non evidence based claims.
• Surgery :
  Surgery is a major part of modern medicine. Lots of people have benefitted from it & lots of lives have been saved by surgeons worldwide. But still, the very word surgery has been associated with fear & apprehension, in spite of tremendous advances in anaesthesiology. And, no doubt surgery can be expensive at times.
  
  But all this is set to change with regenerative medicine, or in our case regenerative orthopedics.
  
  As the name indicates, Regenerative Orthopedics aims to replace a diseased or traumatized cell with a healthy cell. This can be achieved in following ways :-
  
  • Prolotherapy
  • Plateletrich Plasma (P.R.P.) Therapy
  • Stemcell Therapy
