Autologous blood therapy for cartilage damage is a medical procedure in which the patient’s own blood or blood platelets are injected into the damaged cartilage.
This can help to relieve pain, improve joint function and reduce inflammation.
It is often used to treat acute injuries such as torn knee ligaments as well as chronic problems such as osteoarthritis, poor posture and malalignment, orthopaedic pain treatment or hand, knee, hip and foot surgery.
