Harness Your Body's Healing Power

Regenerative Medicine is an innovative field that leverages your body's natural healing abilities to repair or replace damaged tissues, offering a promising alternative to traditional treatments. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or degenerative conditions, regenerative therapies like stem cell treatments, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), combined with cryo/thermal-ablation can stimulate recovery without invasive surgery.

Our expert team, led by Dr. Androniki Drakou, is dedicated to helping you regain function, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life through these cutting-edge therapies.

Benefits of Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine offers a range of advantages for individuals seeking natural, minimally invasive solutions. Key benefits include:

  • Natural healing: Uses your body's own cells to repair and regenerate tissue.
  • Minimally invasive: Most treatments involve simple injections, avoiding surgery.
  • Reduced pain and inflammation: Targets the root cause of discomfort.
  • Faster recovery: Shorter downtime compared to surgical options.
  • Potential to delay or avoid surgery: Ideal for those seeking less invasive solutions.
  • For the treatment of a painful arthroplasty, when the joint remains painful following replacement.

Ideal Candidates for Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine may be right for you if you:

  • Suffer from chronic pain due to conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or ligament injuries.
  • Have sports-related injuries, such as rotator cuff tears or tennis elbow.
  • Have not found relief from conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications.
  • Are seeking alternatives to surgery or joint replacement.
  • Are in good overall health and cleared by a specialist for treatment.

A consultation with Dr. Drakou will help determine if regenerative therapies are the best option for your condition.

Methods

Regenerative Techniques Used by Dr. Drakou

Dr. Androniki Drakou specializes in advanced regenerative therapies, ensuring each patient receives personalized, effective care. Her preferred techniques include:

  • Stem Cell Therapy: Uses your body's stem cells to promote tissue repair.
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Concentrates your blood's platelets to accelerate healing.
  • Cryo/Thermal ablation: Involves minimal invasive procedures in pain management to destroy specific nerves or tissues responsible for chronic pain. Excellent results for addressing a painful arthroplasty.

These therapies are administered via injection directly into the affected area, often under ultrasound or imaging guidance for precision. Dr. Drakou tailors each treatment to the patient's specific condition, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

The Regenerative Medicine Process

Regenerative treatments are quick and minimally invasive, typically involving:

  • Consultation: A thorough evaluation to determine the most suitable therapy.
  • Preparation: For PRP or stem cell therapy, a small sample of your blood or tissue is processed.
  • Injection: The regenerative solution is injected into the damaged area under local anesthesia.
  • Post-Treatment Care: Follow your specialist's instructions, which may include rest and avoiding strenuous activity.

Most treatments are completed in a single outpatient visit, with minimal downtime.
