The human body consists of cells, small functional units tasked with collaborating and performing various functions to ensure proper organism functioning.
Every human action produces an 'adaptive' bodily response to the received stimulus, from basic activities like eating, moving, and sleeping, to more complex actions like sports, working, and healing from trauma.
The Self-Healing Principle
From birth, the human organism possesses all biochemical-physiological prerequisites for self-healing and tissue regeneration following tissue damage. It must first ensure individual growth and subsequently maintain health, being ready to respond to both positive and negative stimuli.
Osteopathy incorporates this concept as one of its foundational pillars: through precise assessment of movement, signs, symptoms, and general body signals, it employs techniques on all directly and indirectly accessible tissues to communicate with the nervous system and enable optimal physiological healing conditions. Osteopathic therapy, combined with strengthening/maintenance/neuromotor reprogramming exercises, can modify an individual's posture, optimally aligning body segments for improved general and specific function.
Lipogems
Sustaining damage during developmental years (0-20 years), when healing factors and regenerative capabilities are at peak efficiency, differs significantly from injury in adult or advanced age, particularly regarding recovery time, healing quality, restorative tissue quality, and healing capacity.
Additionally, certain body tissues are poorly vascularized or lack blood vessels entirely, such as articular cartilage, menisci, specific bones like the scaphoid or talus, and ligaments in knees, shoulders, and ankles. This creates conditions where damage to these structures may be irreversible and prone to continuous degeneration.
Lipogems technology stimulates natural regenerative processes through autologous mesenchymal cells derived from adipose tissue, enabling affected tissues to regenerate and heal.
When is Manual Therapy Combined with Lipogems Indicated?
This combination is indicated for degenerative tissue pathologies with progressive prognosis, chronic inflammatory conditions, post-surgical complications, and cases requiring prevention of significant degeneration or improvement of body tissue quality.
Primary indicated conditions include: osteoarthritis, meniscal disorders, tendinopathies, calcifications, fibrosis, partial ligament injuries, musculotendinous lesions, impingement (shoulder, hip), arthritis, and TMJ degenerative pathologies.
