  • KK Care Hospital Collaborates with ORTHOReNEW to Launch US FDA-Approved Regenerative Medicine

    KK Care Hospital

    Pune: In a significant advancement for orthopedic care in India, KK Care Hospital has announced a collaboration with ORTHOReNEW, the official Indian representative of Regenexx USA, to offer the world’s most advanced non-surgical orthopedic treatments.

    Regenexx USA, a pioneer in regenerative medicine with over 20 years of expertise, has successfully treated more than 520,000 patients worldwide as an alternative to invasive surgeries.

    Through this partnership, KK Care Hospital will provide cutting-edge regenerative solutions for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, using the patient’s own cells to accelerate recovery and restore pain-free mobility.

    Advanced, US FDA-Approved Regenerative Technology

    The Regenexx protocol, patented in the United States, involves extracting a patient’s blood sample—rich in mesenchymal cells and platelets—processing it in a specialized laboratory to achieve up to 30x platelet concentration compared to standard PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), and re-injecting it under local anesthesia.

    This method stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, addressing conditions such as:

    • Sports injuries to soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, and meniscus
    • Muscle sprains and twists
    • Early degenerative changes in bones

    The technology is US FDA-approved and has been successfully applied in India to patients ranging from 18 to 89 years old.

    Precision Diagnosis with Sonography

    Apart from traditional imaging tools like X-ray and MRI, KK Care Hospital uses dynamic sonography to precisely locate pain points during movement, enabling targeted treatment.

    Physiotherapy as a Core Recovery Element

    Physiotherapy remains integral to patient recovery, ensuring the restoration of optimal functional capacity, regardless of the treatment approach.

    Addressing the Growing Need for Pain Management

    Dr Varsha Kurhade, Director of KK Care Hospital and a Pain Management Specialist, stressed that pain management remains an underdeveloped field in India despite its rising demand. Factors such as the aging population, an increase in sports-related injuries, and chronic health conditions are driving the need for specialized interventional orthopedics.

    About KK Care Hospital and ORTHOReNEW

    KK Care Hospital operates as a multispeciality healthcare provider with two units in Charholi and Alandi, Pune. ORTHOReNEW, headquartered in Mumbai, represents Regenexx USA in India, bringing global regenerative medicine expertise to local patients.
