Treatments Available

Regenerative Therapies for
Long-Lasting Joint Health

All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis — no hospitalisation required. Most patients return to normal activity within 24 to 48 hours.

01
💉
Most Requested

PRP Therapy

Platelet-Rich Plasma uses the healing growth factors in your own blood to reduce inflammation and stimulate cartilage repair. The gold standard for knee, hip and shoulder osteoarthritis.

  • 30-minute outpatient procedure
  • 1–3 sessions per protocol
  • Results visible within 2–4 weeks
  • Effect duration: 12–18 months
  • Ultrasound-guided precision injection
02
🔬
Advanced · Next Generation

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles that carry molecular instructions directly into damaged cells — reprogramming inflammation and activating deep tissue regeneration beyond what PRP alone can achieve.

  • Deeper biological regeneration than PRP
  • Ideal for moderate-to-advanced OA
  • Often combined with PRP (stacked protocol)
  • Effect duration: 12–24 months estimated
  • No rejection risk — biocompatible
03
💧
Viscosupplementation

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Restores the lubricating properties of joint fluid, reducing friction and pain. Most effective when combined with PRP for patients with moderate osteoarthritis seeking longer-term comfort.

  • Immediate reduction in joint friction
  • Often combined with PRP for synergy
  • Particularly effective for knee & hip OA
  • Effect duration: 6–12 months
  • Well-established European clinical protocol
04
🏃
Integrated Protocol

Combined Protocol + Kinesitherapy

The most advanced approach: PRP prepares the joint environment, exosomes stimulate deep regeneration, and structured kinesitherapy ensures lasting functional improvement.

  • Session 1: PRP injection
  • Session 2 (7–14 days): exosome injection
  • 3–5 kinesitherapy sessions
  • Online follow-up at 3 and 6 months
  • Highest rate of long-term satisfaction

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know
Before You Travel

Romania is an EU member state and private clinics operate under EU healthcare regulations. Romanian orthopaedic surgeons are trained to European standards. Many hold fellowships from institutions in Germany, France and the UK. Ultrasound-guided procedures in a modern private clinic carry very low risk.
Send your MRI or X-ray images and a brief description of your symptoms through our online consultation form. Dr. Bîrca will review your case within 24 hours and confirm whether regenerative treatment is appropriate for you — before you spend anything on travel.
No. Dr. Bîrca and the clinic staff communicate fluently in English. All treatment documentation, post-care instructions and follow-up communications are provided in English.
Most patients notice initial improvement within 2 to 4 weeks after PRP. The full biological effect continues to develop over 3 to 6 months. Exosome therapy produces a more gradual but deeper improvement, typically visible at 4 to 9 months. Results vary depending on age, condition severity and rehabilitation adherence.
Recent MRI or X-ray (within 12 months), your home specialist's diagnosis letter, a list of current medications, your passport or EU ID card, travel insurance details, and your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) if you have one.
Yes. MRI scans are available at private diagnostic centres in Bucharest at €100–200, compared to €400–900 in Germany or the UK. Dr. Bîrca's team can arrange this for you on Day 1 of your visit.
Before departure, you receive a written post-treatment protocol for your home physiotherapist. Dr. Bîrca's team conducts video follow-up consultations at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment. WhatsApp support is available for urgent questions throughout your recovery.
Regenerative orthopedic treatments are generally not covered by public health insurance in most European countries. They are private-pay procedures. However, the cost in Bucharest is so substantially lower that many patients find the total trip cost (including flights and hotel) is less than the uninsured cost of a single session at home.
