Osteoarticular Treatments
Specialized treatments for joints and bones
General Information
Osteoarticular treatments include various therapeutic interventions targeting joints, tendons, ligaments, and related structures. These treatments can be conservative, such as infiltrations, or innovative, such as PRP therapy.
At CuigniezRx, we offer a wide range of treatments depending on the specific condition and the needs of the patient. Our treatments are performed with the most modern techniques and materials.
For many of our treatments, we work with biocompatible therapy such as hyaluronic acid or PRP (autologous platelets). These treatments can offer an alternative to conventional steroids and painkillers.

PRP Treatment in Detail
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is blood plasma with a rich concentration of platelets. Autologous (from the patient's own body) PRP can be used for the treatment of tendon lesions, including acute or chronic tendon inflammation (e.g., tennis elbow, inflammation of the Achilles tendon and knee tendon) and small to medium-sized tears in those tendons.
PRP can also be used for mild to moderate arthritis (joint wear) of e.g., knee, hip, shoulder. Often used together with hyaluronic acid injection in the same procedure.
How does a PRP treatment work?
A small amount of blood (20 cc) is drawn and centrifuged. During centrifugation, the different blood components are separated and the platelets are selectively isolated from the patient's own blood. The platelets contain 'granules' with active substances, better known as growth factors.
Cost
The PRP treatment costs 150 euros in material costs. This amount is entirely at the expense of the patient, as there is no reimbursement from health insurance.
