Orthokine Program (Exclusive From Germany)

Orthokine Regenerative Therapy (“Kobe” Therapy)
Effectively reduces the disability and pain caused by degenerative arthritis or impinged nerves (herniated disc)

Our center, as a pioneer in regenerative orthopedic medicine, has introduced this therapy, “Orthokine autologous cytokine therapy”, for Asia

Orthokine therapy is a revolutionary, scientific and the most effective treatment for arthritis and compressed nerve tissue based on the 21th century technology of cytokine and growth factors

Orthokine autologous cytokine therapy utilizes the patient’s own cytokines (and other regenerative growth factors) for treatment of degenerative diseases. These cytokines and growth factors can stop cartilage destruction and also inhibit the destruction of compressed / dying nerves, thus negate the need for surgery

Due to the limited regenerative potential of cartilage and nerves, using Orthokine therapy to stop cartilage or nerve destruction is the most scientific and effective way to treat arthritis and nerve compression.

Orthokine therapy has successfully treated well-known individuals such as Pope John Paul II² (“Pope” Therapy²), English language educator Doris Broughton³, and movie star Javier Bardem². For the past 20 years, Orthokine has also been successfully performed for patients all over Asia

When NBA superstar Kobe Bryant received Orthokine therapy for his knees in 2008, his rapid recovery after the treatment made him one of the most famous and successful case for Orthokine therapy²

Continue to work in collaboration with the inventor of Orthokine program, Dr. Peter Wehlingº (NBA superstar Kobe Bryant’s doctor)

In addition, after 10 years of research and development by Dr. Hang, Next Gen Orthokine (2nd generation Orthokine), has also demonstrated the additional regenerative potential of these cytokines to promote and activate the proliferation of cartilage and nerves

Orthokine Therapy

Orthokine Therapy

Orthokine therapy is completely different from other treatments

  1. Orthokine uses your body’s own medication (growth factors and cytokines from your white blood cells) for treatment
  2.  Current non-surgical treatments (including glucosamine, hyaluronic acid injection, PRP have all been acknowledged as placebo by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeon) may only decrease symptoms through placebo effects
  3. Orthokine therapy can slow or stop cartilage and nerve destruction

Factors responsible for the development of degenerative arthritis and nerve destruction (nerve compression)

  1. Genetic make-up
  2. Obesity
  3. Over-work/over-exercise
  4. Age
  5. Injuries (sports injury, fracture, etc.)

Symptoms

  1. Degenerative arthritis usually presents as pain and deformity (due to cartilage destruction/necrosis) that occurs with age
  2. Nerve compression caused by a herniated disc or bone spurs can cause neurogenic pain and nerve destruction

Pathophysiology

  • “Interleukine-1″(IL-1): an immuno-protein plays a decisive role in the development of degenerative arthritis and nerve compression by destroying cartilage and nerve
  • Interleukine-1 Receptor Antagonist (IL-1 Ra): Studies showed
    1. Accumulation of high concentration of Interleukine 1 Receptor Antagonist, an antagonist of IL-1, in the joint can effectively reduce joint pain by stoppingcartilage destruction and death
    2. Injecting IL-1 Ra back into patient’s spine can prevent pain and nerve destruction
    3. Systemic injection promotes better health and achieve the effect of anti-aging

Interleukin-1 (red ball) binds to the receptor (light blue cup) and destroy cartilage or nerve cell (yellow ball)

Injecting Interleukin-1 blocker (blue ball) to bind to the receptor (light blue cup)

Interleukin-1 blocker (blue ball) inhibit the binding of the destructive
interleukin-1 (red ball) to the receptor

I-Kine Regenerative Therapy

I-Kine Regenerative Therapy

In 2016, Dr. Hang developed a new regenerative therapy based on our body’s natural protective protein, “I-kine Regenerative Therapy”

  • Based on successful research and clinical application for treatment of tendon, muscle, and ligament injuries
  • Utilizes patient’s own protective immuno-protein to stop tissue necrosis / death
    (cytokines and growth factors), accelerate tissue regeneration (autologous regenerative factors), and more importantly, achieving the function of injury prevention (younger and stronger tissue minimizes injury)

    1. Stop tendons, muscles and ligament degeneration (cytokine):decreases demand for new tissue regeneration¹ (speeds up recovery)
    2. Increase cell and tissue proliferation (cell regenerative factor): promotes new, younger and stronger tissues
  • This revolutionary treatment is indicated for the aging population, high performance athletes, homemakers, and office workers
  • Successfully treated patients include international movie star George Clooney and world No. 1 tennis player Maria Sharapova
Stem-Kine Regenerative Therapy

Stem-Kine Regenerative Therapy

  • In 2020, our center was the first center to offer the innovative, revolutionary procedure, Stem-kineadipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (AD-SVF) therapy, from Italy, for tissue regeneration
  • Adipose tissue was first used during World War I to promote wound healing
  • After a century, researchers have discovered that fat has one of the highest deposits of mesenchymal stem cells with very high regenerative potential for cartilage regeneration¹
  • Autologous AD-SVF is harvested through an atraumatic process (brand new proprietary technology which minimizes cell trauma and distress). This process does not impair SVF cells’ trophic, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative activities
  • The undisrupted extracellular adipose matrix will act as a natural scaffold for cells to retain their vitality and contribute to tissue regeneration. These cells can differentiate into specialized cells, but more importantly they can respond to local stimuli from the degenerated tissue, and release molecules (such as growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines) to promote healing
  • Since aging and cartilage destruction is an ongoing process, therefore the most important mission is to stop the continual destruction. Therefore, in addition to the regenerative potential of SVF, the combine use of the anti-destructive cytokines from the Regenokine therapy, delivers the most scientific and effective way to treat arthritis and other degenerative diseases

High Altitude-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
(HBOT)

High Altitude-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is used by many Hollywood celebrities and professional athletes to provide rapid recovery from fatigue and accelerates repair of injured tissues
  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the oxygen supply to our body by increasing the oxygen content and the pressure in our blood
  • As more oxygen diffuses into the tissues:
    1. Speeds up tissue and wound healing
    2. Improves athletic performance
    3. Improves memory
    4. Stops headache
    5. Boosts immune system
    6. Anti-aging effects
Evidence-Based Apparels: S3 brace

    9. Relieve low back pain and reduce the chance of recurrence
  • SET exercises can be custom designed for young and old to provide the most effective treatment or training
Radial Pressure Pulse Activation Therapy

Radial Pressure Pulse Actination Therapy

  • Patients suffering from muscle strain, calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, tennis elbow, knee tendinitis and plantar fasciitis: traditional treatment may often require considerable amount of time and patience to achieve complete healing
  • Radial pressure pulse activation has been used for treatment of musculoskeletal problems with high success rate!
  • The seismic impact generated by acoustic energy:
      1. Increases tissue metabolism and circulation
      2. Stimulates tissue regeneration and repair

     

Radial pressure pulse therapy in combination with physical therapy will result in speedier recovery and more rapid returns to activities of daily living

Body Balanced Pilates

Body Balanced Pilates

Body Balanced pilates was developed based on the proven principles of Sports Medicine and physical therapy

  • Body Balanced pilates training is more ergonomic and therefore, is more effective and safer than the traditional pilates training introduced by the original founder Joseph Pilates

Although Orthokine therapy has been used world-wide for over 25 years, our center was the first center in Asia to offer Orthokine therapy and to this day,
remain the only Orthokine center in Asia

In 2014, we were the first center in Asia to offer the newest, state-of-the-art autologous cytokine therapy, Papillon Anti-Aging Rejuvenation Serum therapy (AARS), from Germany for facial rejuvenation utilizing autologous (your own) cytokines (Immuno-proteins) from your own white blood cells to stop skin aging and also your own skin regenerative factors to accelerate skin regeneration

In 2020, we started offering the revolutionary aesthetic facial revitalization therapy, Dermokine, utilizing the regenerative potential of your own adipose tissue (Stromal Vascular Fraction) and the combined anti-aging effect of the Papillon Anti-Aging therapy

In 2021, we started our plastic surgery, aesthetic medicine service with the addition of the most renown plastic surgeon in Taiwan, Professor Yueh-Bih Tang, offering the best aesthetic procedures

Systemic injection of AARS can achieve effective total body anti-aging effect

Papillon Anti-Aging Rejuvenation Serum therapy

(AARS)

  • Papillon Anti-Aging Rejuvenation Serum therapy (AARS) is the newest, state-of-the-art autologous cytokine therapy from Germany:
    1. Utilizes autologous (your own) cytokines (Immuno-proteins) from your own white blood cells to stop skin aging
    2. Utilizes your own skin regenerative factors to accelerate skin regeneration

    This two-pronged approach promotes boundless beauty for your aging skin

  • Pathophysiology:
    1. Instigating factors for skin aging: age, ultra-violet rays in the sun, air pollution, staying up late, incorrect eating habits
    2. Instigating factors (mentioned above) will stimulate aging (or injured) skin cells to produce “destructive” proteins, matrix metalloproteinases or MMP:
      1. MMPs will decompose and destroy the natural skin tissues (collagen fibers, elastin fibers, proteoglycan, hyaluronic acid and other structural skin tissues)
      2. MMPs will inhibit the skin from producing new tissues
    3. MMPs will trigger irreversible damage to the skin along with skin dehydration, dryness, reduced elasticity and increased wrinkles. Once this happens, the skin will not return to the normal, healthy state, and this aging problem will only get worse as we age
  • Proprietary Technology
    1. White blood cells from your own body are stimulated to produce special protective cytokines (family of Interleukine immuno-proteins) and a variety of skin regenerative factors:
      1. Interleukine cytokines: stop the skin from the continuous attack by the  “destructive” MMP proteins
      2. Skin regenerative factors: help the skin to produce structural proteins that is used to make our skin such as collagen, elastin, proteoglycan, and hyaluronic acid. These newly regenerated structural proteins will improve skin wrinkles, roughness, dryness, sagging and other aging problems
    2. Systemic injection of AARS can achieve effective anti-aging effects (which is documented by the significant reduction of inflammation index¹) in our bodies

Therefore, the combination of protective anti-destructive cytokines and cell regenerative factors will slow down skin destruction, activate skin tissues and increase the ability to self-repair, so that the skin is maintained in a beautiful, healthy condition
