GFC vs PRP for Knee and Joint Pain: Which Regenerative Injection Is Right for You?

GFC vs PRP for Knee and Joint Pain: Which Regenerative Injection Is Right for You?

Both GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are made from your own blood and are used to treat joint pain, tendon injuries, and sports injuries without surgery. The difference lies in how each is processed — and that difference affects what’s injected, how the joint responds afterwards, and which patients tend to benefit most from each. MT Hospital offers both GFC and PRP at our Baneshwor and Dhobighat clinics, and our specialists help you choose the right one based on your specific condition.

If you have tried physiotherapy or chiropractic without achieving the results you hoped for, or if your condition involves complex whole-body interactions that standard treatment has not addressed, osteopathy may offer the missing key to your recovery.Osteopathy treats the whole person — not just the site of pain. It recognises that the body is an interconnected system, and that the root cause of pain is often distant from where the pain is felt.

Dry Needling in Kathmandu: What It Is, How It Works & Why It Is Different from Acupuncture

Dry needling is one of the most powerful and rapidly growing physiotherapy techniques for treating muscle pain, trigger points, and movement restrictions — and it is available right here in Kathmandu at Manual Therapy Hospital. Despite using fine needles similar in appearance to acupuncture needles, dry needling is an entirely different treatment based on modern neurological and musculoskeletal science.

If you have been struggling with chronic muscle tightness, persistent neck or back pain, or unexplained areas of deep muscle pain that do not respond to conventional massage or physiotherapy, dry needling may be the missing piece of your recovery.

Dry needling is not acupuncture. It is a precise, evidence-based clinical technique that targets specific muscle trigger points to eliminate pain at its source.
