Now, you don't need to opt for surgery to treat osteoarthritis





Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive painful disease of the joints, where the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones wears off and eventually , they come into contact. On weight-bearing joints like knee and hip, OA is usually seen in an advanced age, especially in people who are overweight or have deformity like bow legs or knock knee. In other joints, OA is seen where there has been some injury to the joint or surrounding tissues.Knee replacement surgery is no longer the only options available to people suffering from OA. SBF Healthcare and Research Center Pvt. Ltd in Bengaluru, founded by Wg.Cdr. (Dr) Vasishta (Retd.), is now a medical facility visited by people from over 33 countries to avail of its new non-invasive SPMF technology . It is said to be the only treatment for osteoarthritis that can regenerate cartilage and reverse the whole process of the disease. It claims to have no side effects and is a cheaper alternative to knee replacement, where both knees can be treated simultaneously . This therapy increases mobility , improves power and stability of the knee joints. The progress of the disease is halted and patients can go about their normal activity during treatment. Painless and safe, patients can undergo the treatment for three weeks. A computer-controlled device, AKTIS, administers sequentially programmed mag netic fields on the affected joint for an hour every day . It treats problems in the knee, lower back, hips and ankles areas. The health and research centre has received several international certificates and patents. “As pioneers in SPMF Therapy, we have plans to expand and are open for new investors,“ Dr Vasishta informs.
