Cartilage

A smooth, resilient connective tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints, providing a low-friction surface for movement and acting as a shock absorber.

What is Cartilage?

Articular cartilage has no blood supply of its own, making it extremely slow to heal once damaged. Cartilage loss leads to bone-on-bone contact, pain, and osteoarthritis. Protecting remaining cartilage through A2M therapy, supporting repair with PRP and MFAT, and reducing mechanical stress are key strategies in joint preservation.

Who is it for?

Patients with joint pain, clicking, crepitus, or early arthritis who want to preserve their cartilage and avoid joint replacement.
