Orthokine Therapy: A Natural Solution for Joint Pain and Inflammation
Orthokine therapy for arthritis is a groundbreaking, non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood to reduce joint pain and inflammation. Designed for patients with osteoarthritis and chronic joint conditions, Orthokine promotes healing naturally and may delay the need for surgery.
What Is Orthokine Therapy?
Orthokine therapy, also known as Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS), involves drawing a small sample of your blood, incubating it under controlled conditions, and reinjecting the serum rich in anti-inflammatory proteins into the affected joint. The key protein, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), blocks inflammatory pathways and provides long-term relief.
Benefits of Orthokine Therapy
- Reduces inflammation without drugs
- Delays or prevents joint replacement surgery
- Uses your own blood – minimal risk of reaction
- Safe for sports injuries and chronic arthritis
- May provide relief for up to a year
Who Can Benefit from Orthokine Therapy?
Orthokine therapy is ideal for those with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, chronic joint pain, or tendon injuries. It’s also helpful for athletes recovering from trauma. It offers an alternative for patients who haven’t responded well to corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid injections.
How the Treatment Works
- Blood draw (around 10–15 ml)
- Incubation for 6–9 hours to enhance healing factors
- Serum separation using centrifuge
- Injection into the affected joint over 3–6 sessions
Is It Safe and Effective?
Yes. Because Orthokine uses your own cells, it is generally safe with minimal side effects. Clinical studies have shown consistent improvements in joint function, inflammation, and pain.
