ACP therapy | Treatment of arthrosis and sports injuries with autologous plasma
ACP therapy | Innovative treatment for joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles
ACP therapy (autologous conditioned plasma) is a modern form of therapy that is used specifically for diseases and injuries of joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. It is suitable for both degenerative complaints and traumatic injuries to support the healing process and relieve pain.
ACP therapy | Natural support for osteoarthritis and injuries
For the treatment of osteoarthritis and injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments, ACP therapy offers a modern alternative to conventional methods. Autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) can effectively relieve pain from osteoarthritis and accelerate the healing of injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
How does ACP therapy work?
Platelets play a central role in injuries, as they promote both haemostasis and wound healing. This natural function is specifically used in ACP therapy and enhanced in the affected tissue to accelerate healing processes and regenerate the tissue.
ACP therapy is an innovative and gentle method that activates the body's own healing powers and enables lasting results.
ACP therapy: procedure and application
ACP therapy uses the body's own regenerative components to specifically promote healing and regeneration processes. The procedure is safe, effective and sterile:
Blood collection:
Approximately 15 ml of blood is taken from the arm vein using a specially developed double syringe.
Blood processing
The blood taken is processed in a centrifuge. This separates the part of the blood that contains regenerative and anti-inflammatory components as well as growth factors.
Separation of the active components
The processed components are separated using the double syringe to prepare for a precise and sterile injection.
Injection:
The regenerative components are injected into the affected area. The platelets they contain release growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and healing.
Safe double-chamber system
The double system ensures sterile blood collection and injection, which minimizes the risk of infection.
ACP therapy offers a gentle, biological method of supporting the body's own healing powers in the case of arthritis and injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
Arthrosis – wear and tear of the joint cartilage
Arthrosis is a wear-and-tear disease of the joint cartilage that can be caused by ageing processes, genetic predisposition, one-sided strain or accidents. In principle, any joint can be affected.
Early signs of arthrosis:
- Unpleasant pulling in the joint
- Stiffness of the joints in the morning
- Pain when starting to move (so-called start-up pain)
Progression of the disease:
As the cartilage deteriorates, the symptoms increase. The pain becomes more intense, and everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs or doing sports become increasingly restricted. This often leads to a significant decline in quality of life.
Early diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis are crucial to slow the progression of the disease and maintain joint function for as long as possible.
ACP therapy – effective support for osteoarthritis
ACP (autologous conditioned plasma) therapy uses the body's own regenerative substances to actively promote the healing and regeneration of joint cartilage.
Effects of ACP therapy:
- Inhibition of inflammation
- Relief of pain
- Improvement of mobility of the affected joints
- This innovative form of therapy is a valuable addition to the treatment of osteoarthritis and helps to maintain or even significantly improve the quality of life.
ACP therapy for injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments
Injuries to the musculoskeletal system often result from biomechanical overuse or misuse. Typical reactions are:
- muscular injuries: strains or fiber tears
- tendon damage: inflammations, persistent irritation or tendon tears
- ligament injuries: often ligament tears as well
Support through ACP therapy
ACP therapy (autologous conditioned plasma) has proven to be an effective supplement to other forms of treatment for healing injuries to the musculoskeletal system. The therapy uses the body's own growth factors to:
- reduce inflammation
- promote tissue regeneration
- accelerate the healing process
ACP therapy has been shown to have a particularly positive effect on sports injuries, as it can shorten recovery time and support a return to full fitness.
Areas of application for ACP therapy for sports injuries
Fresh muscle injuries: Supports regeneration in the case of strains, torn muscle fibres or other acute muscle injuries.
Chronic tendonitis: Effective for long-lasting complaints such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis or patella tendinitis (e.g. jumper's knee).
Torn ligaments: promotes healing of injuries such as torn lateral ligaments of the ankle.
