Whether an amateur or professional, you may be injured during active play or training and be forced to stop all activities for recovery and rehabilitation and in extreme cases for surgery.

Almost 400,000 people in Ireland suffer from osteoarthritis, and it is by far the most common form of knee arthritis. Post-traumatic arthritis can also develop years after an injury, such as a meniscus tear or ligament injury.

The patient can return to normal daily activities after the procedure with no painful, lengthy recovery time.

A variety of Regenerative Treatment protocols are used on a variety of joint injuries, from tears, ligament sprains to osteoarthritis, with remarkable results.

Whether young or old, athlete or not, knee Regenerative Therapy is safe, non-invasive and offers a better alternative to weeks of painful recovery.

Hence, the bubbles will burst, followed by creating a popping sound. Since it takes time for the bubbles to accumulate again, you can’t crack the same kn...
