Regenerative Medicine
The Medicine of the Future – Regenerative Medicine Consultations in Lisbon
REGENERATIVE MEDICINE CONSULTATION
Regenerative Medicine, also known as the “Medicine of the Future”, is defined as the “process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore normal function”.
It is an innovative field of medicine that helps optimise and accelerate the body’s natural tissue regeneration processes.
MAIN INDICATIONS Musculoskeletal:
- Osteoarthritis (relieves pain and improves mobility and function)
- Sports injuries (accelerates the recovery of muscle, tendon and ligament injuries)
- Arthritis (controls inflammation, reduces pain and improves function)
- Tendinosis (promotes tissue regeneration in cases of chronic tendon inflammation)
In Regenerative Medicine, there are several therapeutic approaches that use biological substances from the patient’s own body to naturally stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. At OSTEOFISIO lab, we apply safe, effective and minimally invasive techniques — tailored to each clinical case. Below are the main ones used in our clinic:
Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection – PRP
PRP is obtained from the patient’s own blood, concentrating platelets rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration.
It is effective in treating degenerative conditions (osteoarthritis) and acute or chronic inflammatory issues (tendinopathy, muscle and ligament injuries).
Studies show that PRP can accelerate healing and reduce inflammation in various orthopaedic conditions.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection
(viscosupplementation)
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body, responsible for joint lubrication. Its intra-articular injection is recommended for:
- Mild to moderate osteoarthritis
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Improved joint mobility
The combination of PRP with hyaluronic acid has shown promising results in cartilage regeneration and pain relief in patients with osteoarthritis.
Ultrasound-Guided Injection
Ultrasound-guided injection is a procedure in which medications such as corticosteroids, anaesthetics, hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich plasma are injected into joints, tendons or muscles with the assistance of ultrasound to guide the application.
This technique is used to treat various orthopaedic conditions, including:
- Tendinopathies – tendinitis and tendinosis
- Bursitis
- Arthritis and osteoarthritis
- Muscle and ligament injuries
- Plantar fasciitis
Tecar Therapy
Tecar Therapy is an innovative treatment that uses radiofrequency to stimulate tissue regeneration, increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
It is effective in treating:
- Muscle and ligament injuries – Contractures, strains, sprains and muscle tears
- Tendinopathies – Tendinitis and tendinosis, promoting tendon regeneration
- Arthritis and osteoarthritis
- Chronic inflammation
