Cellular Therapies Melbourne
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy involves the delivery of high intensity ultrasound waves through a special handpiece. The therapy was initially used in assisting the removal of kidney stones via external application on the skin.
Cortisone Injections
Sportsmed Biologic provide Corticosteroid injections to help reduce inflammation in or around tendons and joints.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy involves injecting an otherwise non-pharmacological and non-active irritant solution into the body for the purpose of strengthening weakened connective tissue and alleviating musculoskeletal pain.
Viscosupplementation
Viscosupplementation refers to the intra-articular introduction of liquids based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in high concentrations in the synovial fluid of joints.
PRP Therapy
In Platelet Rich Plasma PRP therapy, blood is drawn from the patient and is used to treat musculoskeletal injuries. The principle is similar to Autologous Blood Therapy but the blood is processed to concentrate the factors which promote healing.
Orthokine Therapy
Orthokine Therapy is a form of injection therapy, which harnesses and enhances the bodies natural defence mechanisms against inflammation to reduce pain.
DolorClast® High Power Laser
Musculoskeletal injuries are described by patients as highly painful, especially in their acute phase. Unfortunately opioid medication or sedative are still too often prescribed despite the risk of adverse events. To avoid any addictive form of pain management, EMS has developed the DolorClast® High Power Laser to offer a non-invasive, effective yet safe solution to patients suffering from acute phase or those having a low-tolerance threshold of pain.
Orthocell
Orthocell allows us to treat tendon conditions such as Achilles and Patella tendinopathy using your own healthy tendon cells.
Stem Cell Therapy
Sportsmed Biologic use Mesenchymal stem cell therapy to treat selected joint and tendon problems. Call us today.
High Volume Injection
A high volume injection is a procedure performed to treat a tendon injury that occurs as a result of severe strain being placed on the tendon. During the healing process following a tendon injury, tiny blood vessels grow into the tendon bringing with them new nerves as well. These nerves are responsible for the sensation of pain related to the tendon injury or tendinopathy.
nSTRIDE®
nSTRIDE® APS is an autologous protein solution (APS) containing anti-inflammatory cytokines and anabolic growth factors. It is one of the latest biologic regenerative treatments used in treating knee osteoarthritis.
Pentosan Polysulphate Sodium (PPS)
Pentosan Polysulphate Sodium (PPS) is a semi-synthetic drug manufactured in Europe to produce a product that mimics glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These complex carbohydrates have a regulatory role in the body through interacting with proteins involved with inflammation. PPS also has a mild antithrombotic (anti-clotting) activity.
Platelet Lysate Epidural
A Platelet Lysate Epidural is an injection of a concentrated solution of platelets into the epidural space to treat pain and other conditions in the spine and nerves. Platelet lysate is a type of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
