Discovering PRASAD™: A Natural Path to Knee Joint Rejuvenation in India
For millions suffering from the relentless pain of knee osteoarthritis, the quest for relief often leads down paths of medication, injections, and sometimes, the daunting prospect of surgery. But what if your own body held the key to healing, offering a natural, regenerative solution?
Enter PRASAD™ – a groundbreaking orthobiologic regenerative therapy that’s making waves in India, offering new hope for those seeking to reclaim their joint health. Developed and performed by the esteemed Dr. A.K. Venkatachalam at the Madras Joint Rejuvenation Centre in Chennai, PRASAD™ is more than just a medical procedure; it’s a “blessing” (as its name, rooted in Indian tradition, suggests) for worn-out knees.
What is PRASAD™ and How Does It Work?
PRASAD™ stands for Platelet Rich And Stromal Autologous Derivate. This cutting-edge therapy harnesses your body’s innate healing power by utilizing your own biological components: platelets, fat-derived stromal cells, and plasma matrix. Unlike conventional treatments that might offer temporary symptom relief or drastic surgical intervention, PRASAD™ aims to stimulate actual tissue repair and cartilage regeneration within the knee joint.
The beauty of PRASAD™ lies in its precise, minimally invasive, three-step process, all performed under meticulous ultrasound guidance:
- Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a rich source of essential growth factors.
- Adipose (Fat) Tissue Harvesting: A tiny amount of fat is gently harvested from your abdomen via liposuction. This fat is then refined to isolate powerful stromal cells, known for their supportive role in healing.
- PRS Fusion & Injection: The concentrated platelets and stromal cells are combined to create a potent “autologous healing cocktail.” This powerful biologic matrix is then precisely injected into the damaged cartilage zones of your knee, guided by ultrasound to ensure optimal delivery.
This innovative combination works synergistically to regrow cartilage, reduce inflammation, and improve the lubrication of the joint, fostering a natural environment for rejuvenation.
Who Can Benefit from PRASAD™?
PRASAD™ offers a compelling alternative for a specific group of patients:
- Those experiencing early to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
- Individuals battling persistent knee pain that hasn’t responded to traditional medications or even PRP therapy alone.
- Patients who are actively looking to delay or even avoid knee replacement surgery.
- Anyone seeking a natural, evidence-based solution for chronic knee stiffness and degeneration.
The PRASAD™ Advantage: What Patients Report
Patients who have undergone PRASAD™ therapy often share encouraging stories of transformation:
- Noticeable pain relief often within a matter of weeks.
- Significant improvement in mobility, making daily activities like walking, squatting, and climbing stairs easier.

- A major convenience: it’s typically a day-care procedure, meaning no hospital stay is usually required.
