Rely on regenerative therapies for cartilage damage

In most cases, an artificial joint can be avoided in this way.

In many cases, we can restore your natural cartilage with innovative and proven treatments.

Osteoarthritis

We care for you in the area of osteoarthritis of the hip, knee and ankle joints. Through new treatment methods, we can restore your natural cartilage and in most cases heal it completely. So you can go through your everyday life again without pain, completely without a prosthesis. 

A sports injury can often cause cartilage damage, but we do everything we can to avoid a prosthesis and preserve your natural meniscus. Our results are praised by competitive athletes. Schedule an appointment today for your diagnosis.

Meniscus injuries

In cases of cartilage damage caused by sports injuries, we use procedures that prevent removal of the meniscus. We have found that every attempt must be made to save the natural meniscus! In this way, a prosthesis can be avoided in the long term. That is why competitive athletes from the fields of athletics, cycling and basketball also trust us.

Do not rush into surgery

We stand for regenerative treatments. Because with a little support, your body can heal itself without any foreign bodies.

Regeneration of the natural cartilage 

We rely on measures such as physiotherapy, hyaluronic acid infiltration and autologous blood therapy. In this way, we can rebuild the natural cartilage in your body and provide lasting relief from your pain.

Avoiding prostheses

In the case of more severe wear, it is possible to repair the cartilage defect by inducing the body's own substance collagen. In this way, we can avoid prosthetic replacement or at least delay it for a long time.

When treating cartilage damage, surgery should be the last resort. Our experience shows that about 80 percent of all knee and hip replacements are not necessary and can be avoided by regenerative treatments.
