Dr Venkatesh Movva, Founder

For decades, orthopedic treatment in India has been controlled by conventional practices, and surgery has been made the go-to cure for musculoskeletal issues. Whether it is knee or shoulder injuries or even chronic backache, the patient is typically referred to invasive interventions once nonsurgical interventions do not work.

Surgery does find application, yet the truth remains that most patients almost 80 to 90 percent do not need it. Worldwide, regenerative medicine has become a possible alternative, providing individuals natural means of recovery without the risks and the time taken for surgery. In India, though, access to such treatments was relatively late. While the rest of the world was already adopting biologic therapies such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell-based treatments, Indian patients had few choices to make.

It was in this context that Regen Ortho Sport was established, groundbreaking a new paradigm in care that focuses on long-term recovery, early treatment, and prevention rather than symptom relief. Established by Dr Venkatesh Movva, Founder & Specialist in Sports Medicine and Regenerative Orthopedics, the clinic was conceptualized with the aim of revolutionizing the way orthopedic issues are addressed in the nation.

“We wanted to provide patients with a solution that uses the body’s own healing capacity to restore function something that surgery often bypasses”, says Dr Venkatesh Movva. Today, it has expanded to Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Mumbai, creating accessible centers for patients seeking innovative, non-surgical care.

Philosophy, Treatments, and Reach

Founded with the vision to introduce contemporary, non-invasive treatments in India, Regen Ortho Sport is conceptualized as a high-tech center that deals exclusively in regenerative orthopedics. As opposed to the traditional centers, where symptom relief is the focus, the clinic involves determining the cause of pain and developing personalized treatment protocols that augment the body’s own repair systems.

The treatment range provided here spans virtually all orthopedic conditions, from ligament damage and joint degeneration to bone disorders and tendon rupture. The treatments utilize advanced methods that include PRP therapy, bone marrow concentrate injections, and stem cell-based therapies, all of which are done with image-guided accuracy. This allows biologic material harvested from the patient’s own body to be precisely delivered where they are needed to stimulate repair and growth.

PRP, bone marrow, and stem cell therapies at Regen Ortho Sport can be used to treat almost every major joint and musculoskeletal region, including the knee for arthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries like ACL and MCL tears, and cartilage thinning; the hip for labral tears, early avascular necrosis, bursitis, and early arthritis; the shoulder for rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, tendinosis, labral injuries, and arthritis; the elbow for tennis or golfer’s elbow, ligament sprains, and chronic joint inflammation; the hand and wrist for carpal tunnel syndrome, thumb base arthritis, and ligament or tendon injuries; the foot and ankle for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, ankle sprains, and arthritis; and the spine for disc degeneration, mild disc bulges, sciatica, facet joint pain, and SI joint dysfunction.

Apart from sports injuries, the clinic treats chronic conditions that impact daily life, like osteoarthritis or lower back pain, presenting patients with non-surgical options to joint replacement or spinal surgery. Its mission is straightforward help people heal naturally, stay away from unnecessary surgery, and get back to what they enjoy doing. Being operational in three cities Hyderabad as its base, with offices in Bangalore and Mumbai has also made treatment accessible to more people. The multi-location strategy enables patients in key metropolitan centers to access advanced care without having to travel extensively. Meanwhile, standardized protocols and standards guarantee that the quality of care is not compromised, regardless of which branch a patient may attend. 

Overcoming Challenges through Expertise, Infrastructure & Technology

Introducing a fairly new discipline of medicine has not been easy. Perhaps one of the most significant challenges for Regen Ortho Sport has been creating an awareness and trust in regenerative orthopedics. Most patients initially resist, not knowing the science behind such therapies. But when results are explained, backed by overseas data, and complemented by patient testimonials, confidence follows automatically.

The infrastructure of the clinic has been laid out to represent its dedication to all-around care. From state-of-the-art imaging technologies that identify areas of concern to facilities for conducting biologic injections, it is all under one roof. Not only are treatments administered, but patients also undergo full counseling regarding their ailment and options, allowing them to make enlightened decisions.

Just as critical are the staffs at Regen Ortho Sport, comprised of professionals trained in regenerative medicine a discipline not taught or practiced widely in India. With their collective experience, international exposure, and patient-centric approach, they provide high-quality outcomes. Dr Venkatesh Movva stresses teamwork as an essential strength “The success of our clinic is not about one person, but about a group of experts who share the same vision of changing lives”.

Technology continues to transform practices in the clinic. Developments in imaging and delivery methods now enable biologics to be delivered more precisely than ever before. This level of precision makes treatments more effective; guaranteeing injured tissues the precise amount of what they require to heal. The clinic has also introduced new ways of measuring the progress patients make over time, fine-tuning protocols based on real-world experience. These measures are allowing it to expand the boundaries of what’s achievable in pain relief outside of surgery. 

Future Vision

Regen Ortho Sport continues to work towards increasing regenerative care access throughout India. As it goes on to open additional centers and adopt new technologies, the clinic imagines a reality in which non-surgical orthopedics is the norm, not the exception. The staff is most enthusiastic about future research and emerging biologic technologies that will enable them to treat more patients more effectively. For the time being, the mission is still centered on passion-driven healthcare first, changing outcomes, and demonstrating that surgery is not necessarily the only way to recover.
