Regenerative Medicine

What is Regenerative Medicine?

OPTIMISE YOUR JOINT & MUSCLE HEALTH

Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field where doctors and scientists work together towards the repair of diseased or damaged tissues using biological or cell based technologies. Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing area of clinical research that encompasses genome engineering, nanotechnology and tissue engineering and stem cell biology.

Regenerative medicine at Opus focuses on bringing cutting edge research from the laboratory bench to clinical application.

Working with our partner laboratory we focus on the longevity of your joint using mesenchymal stem cells to repair the diseased or damaged tissue of osteoarthritis under the regulatory rigour of the UK’s Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The Regenerative Medicine team works with the Performance team at Opus to make sure that any treatment you have is integrated with the best rehabilitation, bespoke to you and your injury or condition.

Our goal is your goal, whether that’s playing a particular sport, exercising in the gym or kicking a ball in the park with your kids.

Comprehensive Treatment at Opus

In the heart of London, Opus stands out for its exceptional dedication to the highest standards in Regenerative medicine, offering tailored treatment to meet the unique needs of each patient. We have worked for years with the regulatory bodies, GMP accredited laboratories and world recognised scientific experts and clinicians from a wide background to bring the UK the only private allogeneic cultured stem cell treatment that is certified by the regulators (HTA, MHRA).

OUR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE SERVICE INCLUDES:

  • Mesenchymal Stem Cell Injections: We offer allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell injections, licensed for the treatment of both traumatic and non-traumatic osteoarthritis.

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP injections are available as an option to promote healing and reduce inflammation in osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions.

  • Comprehensive Rehabilitation: We provide tailored rehabilitation programmes both before and after stem cell or PRP injections to optimise your body’s response to treatment and support your recovery.

At Opus, we are committed to providing evidence based regenerative medicine services in London, using advanced techniques and a patient-centred approach to care. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or seeking to improve your physical performance, our regenerative medicine team are here to support your journey towards optimal health and mobility.
