Our Advanced Regenerative Medicine Treatments

Comprehensive Orthopedic Evaluation

Every treatment begins with a detailed examination to identify the source of pain and determine whether regenerative medicine is appropriate. Imaging may be recommended to evaluate joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, bones, or surrounding soft tissues.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma, commonly known as PRP, uses a concentrated portion of the patient’s own blood to support the natural healing response in injured or degenerative tissues.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy involves injecting a specialized solution into weakened ligaments, tendons, or joint-supporting tissues to stimulate a controlled healing response.

Ultrasound-Guided Procedures

Ultrasound guidance helps deliver treatment accurately to the affected joint, tendon, ligament, or soft tissue while minimizing unnecessary irritation to nearby structures.

Joint Regeneration Treatment

Selected patients with arthritis, cartilage wear, or persistent joint pain may benefit from regenerative treatment combined with rehabilitation and activity modification.

Tendon and Ligament Regeneration

Regenerative treatment may support recovery in chronic tendon and ligament conditions caused by overuse, degeneration, or previous injury.

Personalized Rehabilitation

A structured rehabilitation program may be recommended to improve mobility, restore strength, and support the treated tissues during recovery.

Long-Term Recovery Management

Ongoing care may include exercise guidance, movement correction, activity modification, and follow-up evaluation to support long-term function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is advanced regenerative medicine?

Advanced regenerative medicine refers to non-surgical treatments intended to support the body’s natural healing response in injured or degenerative musculoskeletal tissues.

What is PRP therapy?

PRP therapy uses a concentrated portion of the patient’s own blood, which is injected into the affected area to support the natural healing process.

Is regenerative medicine suitable for everyone?

No. Treatment suitability depends on the diagnosis, severity of the condition, overall health, and previous treatments. A detailed orthopedic evaluation is required.

Do regenerative treatments work immediately?

Not usually. Improvement may develop gradually over several weeks as the treated tissues respond and rehabilitation progresses.

How many treatments are needed?

The number of treatments depends on the condition, severity, treatment method, and individual response.

Can regenerative medicine help avoid surgery?

In some cases, regenerative treatment may reduce pain, improve function, and help delay or avoid surgery. Results vary depending on the condition and severity of tissue damage.

Can I exercise after treatment?

Activity may need to be temporarily modified. Your orthopedic specialist will provide guidance on when and how to resume exercise safely.

When should I seek immediate medical attention?

Seek prompt evaluation if severe swelling, increasing redness, fever, worsening pain, loss of sensation, significant weakness, or other unusual symptoms develop after treatment.

Can international patients receive treatment?

Yes. Relief Orthopedics welcomes international patients, expatriates, visitors, and medical travelers seeking advanced regenerative medicine treatment in Seoul.
