Joint Injuries & Regenerative Solutions

What Is a Joint Injury?

A joint injury occurs when connective tissues such as ligaments, tendons, cartilage, or the joint capsule are damaged. These injuries can affect any joint—knees, shoulders, hips, elbows—and range from minor sprains to severe tears or fractures.

Joint injuries can limit mobility, cause persistent pain, and reduce quality of life, making early, effective treatment essential for both recovery and long-term joint health.

What Causes Joint Injuries?

Common factors contributing to joint injuries include:

Trauma

from falls, sports collisions, or car accidents

Overuse

with repetitive motions that strain joints over time

Aging

as wear and tear makes joints more vulnerable to injury

Poor posture

which places chronic stress on joints

Genetics

with some individuals predisposed to weaker connective tissue

What Symptoms Should You Watch For?

Joint injury symptoms can vary by severity and location, but often include:

Pain, sharp or dull, often worsening with movement

Swelling and inflammation, sometimes with warmth or redness

Stiffness, reducing range of motion

Weakness, limiting strength and function

Instability, with joints feeling loose or “giving way”

Rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE) to reduce swelling and pain

Medications such as NSAIDs to manage discomfort

Physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility

What Are the Treatment Options?

Conservative Care

Initial care for many joint injuries includes:

Advanced Non-Surgical Therapies

At Aven Clinic, we focus on regenerative medicine treatments that restore damaged tissue and promote long-term joint health.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Uses concentrated platelets from your own blood

Delivers growth factors that stimulate repair and regeneration

Reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery naturally

Stem Cell Therapy

Harvests stem cells from bone marrow or fat tissue

Regenerates cartilage, tendon, and ligament tissue

Restores joint function while reducing pain and stiffness

Faster recovery, with minimal downtime

Lower risks, avoiding surgical complications and anesthesia

Sustainable results, by stimulating natural repair instead of masking symptoms

Benefits of Avoiding Invasive Surgery

Regenerative therapies provide major advantages compared to surgery:
