Preserve: Protect what you still have
Preserve your joint, your movement, and your quality of life. From immediate symptom management to treatments that slow degeneration and protect cartilage.
ChondroFiller
A collagen matrix that fills cartilage defects and supports the body in rebuilding. If you have a focal area of cartilage damage, this is a non-surgical regenerative option.
Hyaluronic Acid
Restores the natural lubrication your joint has lost. If your cartilage is wearing and movement feels stiff or grindy, HA reduces friction and eases daily pain.
mFat / Stem Cell
Your own fat tissue processed and injected for tissue regeneration.
Cartilage Micrograft
Harvests healthy cartilage cells from your own body and reimplants them at the damage site. Targets specific defects where the body needs a biological scaffold to rebuild.
Steroid Injection
Rapid relief for acute pain and inflammation. Often used as a first step to manage a flare-up, reduce swelling, and create a window for rehabilitation or further assessment.
PRP
Uses your own blood platelets to accelerate healing. Suited to patients with sports injuries, tendon damage, or early joint wear who want to support the body's natural repair.
PRF
A next-generation blood concentrate that releases growth factors slowly over time. Suited to patients who want longer-lasting biological support for healing tendons, cartilage, and soft tissue.

NanoATi
A tendon-specific Seed, Soil, Signal pathway with image-guided biological delivery and progressive loading for selected tendon damage.

Cartilage Micrograft
Harvests healthy cartilage cells from your own body and reimplants them at the damage site. Targets specific defects where the body needs a biological scaffold to rebuild.
STACi
An advanced scaffold implanted into a damaged joint to regenerate cartilage over larger areas of damage. For patients with significant cartilage loss who are too young or active for replacement and want to rebuild rather than remove.
Sub-chondroplasty
Bone marrow lesion treatment to address subchondral bone pain and bone bruising in advanced arthritis.
BMAC
Concentrates stem cells from your own bone marrow and delivers them to the damaged area. Suited to patients with cartilage or tendon damage who want to support regeneration biologically.
Cartilage Repair (Surgical)
Surgical cartilage repair techniques to restore joint surface integrity.
Ligament Reconstruction
Surgical reconstruction of damaged ligaments to restore stability.
NanoALi
A non-surgical Seed, Soil, Signal pathway for selected partial or healing ligament injuries where useful continuity and joint stability remain.
Mytocel MSK
A regenerative injection using your own cells, prepared chair-side into living micrografts and delivered in a single session for earlier joint wear. No surgery.
