At MBR Health, regenerative and interventional treatments are selected only after the clinical question has been defined. The aim is not to offer a procedure first, but to identify the tissue, joint, tendon, nerve or spinal structure most likely to benefit from targeted treatment.
Our treatment pathways combine high-fidelity imaging, specialist interpretation and image-guided delivery. Therapies may include platelet-rich plasma, hyaluronic acid, corticosteroid injection and radiofrequency treatment — selected by diagnosis, anatomy and patient goals.
Regenerative treatment is not simply a substance placed into the body. Its value depends on the diagnosis, the tissue being treated, the biological rationale, the dose delivered and the accuracy of placement. At MBR Health, treatment is guided by imaging and selected according to the structure most likely to be driving the problem.
CT-guided Radiofrequency Ablation Some conditions require repair-focused treatment. Others require inflammation control, nerve-targeted intervention, mechanical support or referral for another form of care. The role of diagnosis is to choose the right pathway — not simply the most advanced-sounding procedure.
World-class 3T MRI Calibrated by Mr Ben Kennedy Regenerative and cellular therapies are not suitable for all patients. Suitability depends on diagnosis, medical history, imaging findings, available evidence, treatment alternatives and clinical assessment. Some cellular therapies remain considered experimental in Australia and require careful clinical governance, consent and patient selection.
We bring screening, diagnosis,
and clinical insight together in one centre.
Our 3T MRI, Spectral CT, and advanced ultrasound
detect what standard scans often miss.
Every scan is protocolled and reviewed
by sub-specialist radiologists.
We use validated protocols designed
to support long-term health outcomes.
Your results are explained clearly, with guidance
on next steps and long-term monitoring.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is a treatment made from your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets and their associated signalling molecules, then delivered to a selected tissue target.
Platelet dose matters because platelets carry growth factors and other signalling molecules that influence the tissue response. A higher-quality PRP pathway aims to deliver a clinically meaningful platelet concentrate rather than a minimal or highly diluted preparation.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is not currently covered by Medicare in Australia. PRP is considered an emerging and investigational therapy for most indications and does not attract a Medicare rebate.
Cortisone is generally used to suppress inflammation and can provide faster short-term symptom relief. PRP is a biologic treatment intended to stimulate a healing response and is not designed as an immediate anaesthetic or steroid-like effect.
Durolane is an ultra-high molecular weight hyaluronic acid which has been shown to last significantly longer than many lower- or medium-molecular-weight HA products, with symptom relief of up to 18 months after a single injection reported in selected knee osteoarthritis studies.
