Chondral Defect Treatment in San Antonio, TX

Chondral defects refer to damage or injury to the cartilage that covers the surfaces of the joints. This type of injury can occur due to trauma, repetitive stress, or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. When the cartilage becomes damaged or worn down, it can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced joint function.

At Advanced Regenerative Center of South Texas, we specialize in treating chondral defects with non-surgical regenerative therapies designed to promote cartilage repair, reduce inflammation, and restore joint function. Our treatments, including PRP therapy and stem cell therapy, are designed to help support the body’s natural healing processes and improve the health of the damaged cartilage.

PRP therapy involves using the patient’s own blood platelets to deliver concentrated growth factors directly to the damaged cartilage. This stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, aiding in cartilage repair. Stem cell therapy, using regenerative cells from umbilical tissue, promotes the regeneration of cartilage and supports the long-term healing of the joint.

Dr. Asim Merchant, MD, a board-certified physician with expertise in sports medicine, uses ultrasound-guided injection techniques to deliver regenerative treatments with precision, ensuring maximum effectiveness for each patient’s specific condition.

Common symptoms of chondral defects include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, difficulty moving the affected joint, and a feeling of grinding or popping within the joint. If left untreated, these defects can lead to further degeneration and long-term joint damage.
