APS Treatment

The nSTRIDE Autologous Protein Injections (nSTRIDE APS) treatment is designed to alleviate pain and bring balance back to your inflamed knee joint by introducing high levels of “good” proteins concentrated in your blood. These good proteins can block the “bad” proteins responsible for the inflammatory condition in your joint. 

In an osteoarthritic knee, inflammatory cytokines (“bad” proteins) outnumber anti-inflammatory cytokines (“good” proteins) causing an imbalance. This is what causes knee pain and cartilage degeneration.

We will take a blood withdrawal like a simple blood test. Your clinician will process your blood to concentrate white blood cells, platelets, and plasma proteins into a small volume of plasma. This will then be administered as a joint injection directly into the knee joint cavity.
