Hyderabad, August 13: The Safe Health Knee Joint Centre here has introduced a Cytotron device, a non-invasive permanent cure for Osteoarthritis of the spine, hip joints and the knees.
Cytotron is a new computer controlled device that generates high-intensity rotational field quantum magnetic resonance beams (RFQMR) which are controlled and focussed on the tissues to alter the Proton spin inside and outside the cells, thus resulting in stimulating the cartilage growth, Dr C V Ramana Rao, Chief Medical Officer, Dr Rajesh, Consultant told reporters here.
The regenerated cartilage relieves the patient of the painful symptoms, they said.
Osteparthritis is a debilitating disorder resulting in crippling of the joints and it degenerates the cartilage of the knee joint, Dr Rajesh said.
Cartilage is a cushion that prevents the two bones from scrapping with one another leading to pain.
“Patients who do not want to undergo surgery and use natural methods can go for this treatment. The device has been developed by the Centre for Advanced Research Development in India and has undergone clinical trials at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at Bangalore,” Dr Rajesh said.
The treatment procedure is for one-and-half hour everyday for 21 days and the cost of it is Rs 1.5 lakh for both the knees inclusive of nutritional supplements, physiotherapy medical counselling among others.
