Stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis in Aschheim: regenerative medicine instead of joint replacement
The Regenerative Orthopaedic Center (ROC) in Aschheim near Munich is one of the leading facilities in Germany for regenerative orthopaedics. With its innovative stem cell therapy from autologous fat (SVF), the ROC offers a modern, gentle and sustainable alternative to surgery and joint replacement. This form of therapy is particularly suitable for patients with osteoarthritis, cartilage damage and soft tissue injuries and relies on the body's natural self-healing powers.
Osteoarthritis - a widespread disease on the rise
Around 10 million people in Germany suffer from osteoarthritis - and the trend is rising. The causes are not only age-related joint wear and tear, but also sporting overload and injuries. For a long time, the breakdown of cartilage tissue was considered irreversible, meaning that sufferers could usually only resort to painkillers, injections or, in advanced stages, artificial joint replacement. Regenerative medicine is fundamentally changing this picture: new procedures such as stem cell treatment with autologous fat are opening up prospects for maintaining joint function and providing lasting pain relief.
Why autologous fat is particularly suitable for stem cell therapy
Adipose tissue is one of the richest sources of mesenchymal stem cells. It contains numerous regenerative cells, growth factors and anti-inflammatory messenger substances that actively support the healing of cartilage and tissue. Compared to bone marrow, the regenerative potential of autologous fat is preserved even in old age - a decisive advantage for osteoarthritis patients.
Gentle procedure at the ROC in Aschheim
Under the direction of Dr. Daniel Filesch, a minimally invasive procedure is used at the ROC:
Advantages of stem cell therapy from autologous fat
Clinical studies show that the therapy not only relieves pain in the short term, but also improves mobility in the long term.
Holistic therapy concept at the ROC
The ROC relies on an individual, multimodal therapy concept. Depending on the findings, other regenerative procedures can be used, such as
This results in a customized treatment concept that is tailored to the needs of each patient.
The future of orthopaedics: joint preservation instead of joint replacement
Stem cell therapy with autologous fat marks a paradigm shift in orthopaedics: away from purely symptom-oriented measures and towards cause-oriented, biological therapies. Patients benefit from less pain, better mobility and long-term preservation of their joints.
The ROC in Aschheim near Munich provides patients with a center that combines state-of-the-art technology, scientific expertise and a clear focus on regenerative medicine. The ROC is thus setting new standards in biological orthopaedics and making innovative joint preservation therapies a reality.
