ACP (autologous conditioned plasma) is used to treat acute muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries as well as degenerative joint conditions (cartilage damage, arthritis).

Information on the most important growth factors contained in autologous blood:
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF): this substance stimulates the division and "chemotaxis" (attraction) of fibroblasts (key connective tissue cells) and supports the cell division of mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells. This helps the extracellular matrix grow and increases the production of hyaluronic acid - which is a help for people with osteoarthritis, as it stops the progression of the disease.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGF-1 und FGF-2): these substances encourage the regrowth of connective tissue, blood vessel growth, construction of collagen fibers, and stimulates the healing processes of injured tissue (muscle, tendons, and skin).
Epidermal growth factor (EGF): this substance regulates cell growth, stimulates the splitting and specialization of epidermal cells, and supports the growth of granulation tissue and blood vessels. This also stimulates the healing processes of injured tissue (muscle, tendons, and skin).
Transforming growth factors a and b (TGF-a and TGF-b): these substances stimulate the cell division of connective tissue and encourage DNA-synthesis as well as the production of collagen, antibacterial peptides, keratinocytes, and the growth of blood vessels.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF): these substances stimulate the growth of blood vessels and endothelial cells, which in turn supports the healing processes of injured tissue (muscle, tendons, and skin).
New scientific studies show that the use of ACP can significantly accelerate and improve the healing processes for muscle injuries as well as tendon and cartilage problems.
A clinical study in osteoarthritis patients recently showed that autologous blood infiltrations into the knee joint can lead to significant improvements. The outcome of the study revealed significantly better results for autologous blood (ACP) compared to hyaluronic acid infiltrations.

In general, four ACP infiltrations are carried out in intervals of two weeks (intervals can be longer but should not be any shorter). In some cases, a fifth infiltration is recommended four weeks after the last infiltration (in the case that symptoms have improved significantly but have not entirely disappeared).

Patellaspitzensyndrom / Knorpelschaden – Dr. Gäbler macht’s wieder gut!
Mit einem extrem ausgeprägten Patellaspitzensyndrom bin ich vor etwas mehr als 2 Jahren bei Dr. Gäbler gelandet. Erster positiver Eindruck: keine Beschönigung der Schwere der Verletzung, keine Vorwürfe „warum kommen Sie erst jetzt zu mir“, stattdessen verschiedenste Therapievorschläge, an deren Ende eine OP stand. Ergebnis der OP war, dass der so typische Schmerz von Tag 1 an weg war und seither (1.5 Jahre) nie wieder aufgetreten ist. Kurze Zeit später nahm ich das Lauftraining wieder auf, um gleich wieder gestoppt zu werden, weil das Knie wieder Schmerzen machte, nicht an der Patellasehne sondern oberhalb der Kniescheibe. Möglicher Grund ein geringfügiger Knorpelschaden, der eigentlich keine Schmerzen machen sollte, es aber doch tat, vielleicht aufgrund des erlittenen Muskelverlustes. Ich war ratlos und frustriert, Dr. Gäbler nicht. Die von ihm vorgeschlagene ACP Therapie machte das Knie schon nach der 2. von 4 Spritzen vollkommen schmerzfrei! Ein Spitzenarzt, den auch seine positive Art auszeichnet, die er irgendwie auf den Patienten überträgt, was gerade bei chronischen Verletzungen wie den hier beschriebenen unendlich wertvoll ist, weils manchmal wirklich zum Verzweifeln war!!

Kniebehandlung mit ACP
Meinen Knien geht es wieder sehr gut, das ist das wichtigste. Die Behandlung ist nicht billig, aber das Geld wert. Der Service der Sportordination ist phänomenal. Keine Probleme mit Genehmigungen oder Bewilligungen.
