Laric, the practice combines cutting-edge medical expertise with personalised patient care to address a wide range of orthopaedic conditions, helping patients return to their active lifestyles with confidence and mobility.
What We Offer
title="Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)" content="Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy harnesses the body's natural healing mechanisms by concentrating platelets and growth factors from the patient's own blood to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. Dr. Laric utilises PRP injections to treat various musculoskeletal conditions including tendon injuries, ligament strains, early-stage arthritis, and chronic pain conditions. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it through specialised centrifugation to concentrate the platelets, and then precisely injecting the PRP into the affected area under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates the body's natural healing response, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue regeneration. PRP therapy is particularly effective for conditions like tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, and mild to moderate knee arthritis, offering patients a non-surgical option to reduce pain and improve function." defaultOpen=/>
Stem cell therapy represents the cutting edge of regenerative medicine, utilising the body's own repair cells to heal damaged tissues and potentially restore function in degenerative conditions. Dr. Laric offers stem cell treatments using cells harvested from the patient's bone marrow or adipose tissue. These cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types and secrete bioactive molecules that promote healing. In Dr. Laric's practice, stem cell therapy is considered for selected patients with advanced joint degeneration or complex tissue injuries where traditional treatments have provided limited relief. The process involves meticulous harvesting, processing, and delivery of the cells, often integrated with other regenerative approaches to optimize the healing environment. The goal is to provide a biological solution that addresses the root cause of tissue damage and potentially delays or avoids the need for major surgical intervention.
Cartilage preservation focuses on protecting and maintaining existing joint cartilage while stimulating repair mechanisms to prevent further degeneration. Dr. Laric employs various techniques including viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid injections, which help restore the joint's natural lubrication and shock absorption properties. For localized cartilage defects, advanced surgical options such as microfracture, osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS), or autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) may be utilised to replace or repair damaged cartilage surfaces. These procedures are often combined with limb alignment correction if necessary to reduce stress on the repaired area. By addressing cartilage damage early and using a combination of biological and biomechanical approaches, Dr. Laric aims to preserve natural joint function, relieve pain, and prolong the health of the joint.
Non-surgical pain relief encompasses a comprehensive range of advanced treatments designed to reduce pain and improve function without the need for invasive procedures. Dr. Laric offers targeted injection therapies including corticosteroid injections for acute inflammation, viscosupplementation for osteoarthritis, and specialised nerve blocks for chronic pain management. These treatments are often integrated into a multidisciplinary approach that includes customised physical therapy, activity modification, and biomechanical optimisation. By utilising precise diagnostic techniques and image-guided injections, Dr. Laric ensures that treatments are delivered exactly where they are needed most. This focus on conservative yet advanced management allows many patients to return to their daily activities with significantly reduced pain and improved mobility, often serving as a highly effective first line of treatment or a long-term management strategy for chronic conditions.
