Keen runners who regularly pound the pavements know that aches and pains in the knees can be a real problem.
Kliniken, Yorkshire’s state-of-the-art day surgery clinic, has introduced a new procedure that uses stem cells extracted from fat to help heal osteoarthritis or joint pain in the knee and avoid painful knee replacement surgery.
It means that keen runners who are experiencing pain now can have treatment that allows them to run pain-free for longer without having to experience more pain or having to suffer a knee replacement later in life.
How does it work?
The procedure itself focuses on utilising fat stem cells to aid regeneration within the area affected, through use of targeted injections at the problem regions and joints.
This can help those suffering on the spectrum of pain, from a mild ache all the way up to those who may be due to have knee replacements using metal – a far more invasive form of surgery.
If you are experiencing any pain when running then contact Kliniken to see if this stem cell treatment might be the right thing for you.
The treatment avoids painful knee surgery.
Life-changing procedure
The UK’s leading surgeon on stem cell treatment is delighted to be bringing a life-changing procedure to Yorkshire.
Mr Mallappa Kolar’s expertise in stem cell treatments has allowed him to pioneer this procedure for the first time within the UK, aiding patients with often crippling, painful osteoarthritis.
Mr Kolar said:
“Kliniken is the only location within the UK to offer this type of (fat) stem cell procedures. Unlike other procedures available, these pioneering stem cell injection treatments mean the body is healing the body, and it does not involve any metal insertion into the patient’s body.
"Unfortunately, knee replacements cannot be reversed and most younger people who have to get a replacement are more likely to need a revision later in life which is a major undertaking.”
