Regenerative Injection Technique (RIT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat musculoskeletal pain and injuries by promoting tissue repair and regeneration. It involves the injection of biological substances, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), autologous blood, or other growth factors, into damaged or painful areas of the body to stimulate healing and reduce pain.
Key points:
-
Purpose: RIT is primarily used to promote tissue repair by delivering growth factors and other bioactive substances directly to damaged tissues, and reduce pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as tendon injuries, ligament sprains, osteoarthritis, and other soft tissue injuries.
-
Types of Injections: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is prepared by centrifuging the patient's blood to isolate the platelet-rich portion, which contains growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration Autologous blood is whole blood that is injected to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. Other growth factors, such as growth factor concentrates or amniotic fluid, to enhance the regenerative effects of the injections.
-
Indications: RIT may be used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including: tendon injuries (e.g., tendonitis, tendinosis), ligament sprains or tears, osteoarthritis, muscle strains or tears, joint pain and inflammation.
-
Advantages: Minimally invasive. Stimulates natural healing. Low risk of side effects.
