Autologous blood treatment is an innovative method that uses the body's own growth factors to speed up healing and relieve pain. Because the patient's own blood is used, allergic reactions are avoided and the body's natural healing powers are activated.
How does autologous blood treatment work?
For autologous blood treatment, a small amount of your own blood is taken first. This blood is specially prepared in order to concentrate the growth factors and regenerative substances it contains. The prepared solution is then injected directly into the affected tissue.
The growth factors in the blood stimulate the body's own healing processes and support the regeneration of damaged tissue. This natural method is particularly effective with joint wear, tendon injuries and chronic pain.
The treatment is carried out as a day case and is very well tolerated. As only the body's own material is used, allergic reactions are ruled out. The effect usually sets in within a few weeks and can last several months.
The number of treatments depends on your individual symptoms. Typically 3 to 5 treatments at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks are recommended. The first improvements can be noticeable after the very first treatment.
