Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist Dr. Varsha Kurhade, Director KKCare Hospital said that the collaboration reflects the latest interventional and non-surgical options for musculoskeletal conditions. Regenerative medicine involves treatment plans which are patented by Regenexx USA which are Super concentrated platelets and Mesenchymal cells.She said that various conditions that can be addressed include various types of sports injuries like injuries to soft tissue, ligaments, tendons, muscle sprains and meniscus (twists), early degenerative changes in bones etc.

In this process. The blood sample is extracted from the body including mesenchymal cells, which is rich source of platelet plasma. The process is selected according to set protocols and the condition that the patient is suffering. The blood sample is then processed in the lab and concentrated to be reinjected in the body with local anaesthesia, which helps stimulating the body's own healing mechanism. The concentration of the platelets are super concentrated unto 30x of the regular PRP.

The technology is US FDA approved.In India, patients from age group of 18 to 89 have been treated with this treatment and it is a boon for those suffering with various musculoskeletal conditions. A trend setter in diagnosis in today’s time is use of sonography apart from X-ray, MRIs. Infact sonography can enable dynamic scanning. Once the patient comes to the OPD we use a probe of sonography and find out which is the area where the pain exactly is, for e.g.

if somebody has shoulder pain, we will ask that person to move his/ her shoulders and find out the exact position where the muscle begins to pain. So, we can pin point the area.Physiotherapy remains the crucial part of the recovery to restore optimum functional capacity, she added, this is irrespective of the method of treatment. Interventional Orthopedics and Pain Management- The super specialty of the future It was about four decades ago that the pain management society came into existence.

According to Dr. Varsha, Pain is still an unaddressed subject in India. Considering the growing geriatric population, increasing number of sportsmen and resultant occasional injuries, increase in long term chronic illnesses which cause atypical pain, pain management will transform into one of the leading super specialties in India.

The number of pain physicians is extremely dismal considering the fact that almost every home today has some or the other person experiencing pain at some point of time.KK Care Hospital is multispeciality hospital with two units one at Charholi and other at Alandi.
