Dr. Wu (吳沛燊), director of 新旅程復健科, explains in this archived report that a joint problem may involve more than inflammation. Instability, repeated fluid accumulation and reduced ligament or tendon strength can remain after an injury, requiring an assessed rehabilitation plan as well as symptom management.
A recovery plan for the affected tissue
The physician emphasizes the period after acute inflammation, when training intensity and load need to match the recovering tissue. The article discusses platelet growth-factor preparations as one option considered for instability, ligament injury and degenerative joint concerns.
Dr. Wu describes ultrasound guidance for locating soft tissue and discusses knee structures such as the collateral and patellar ligaments. The report presents the use of growth factors to support repair as the rationale for the approach, alongside rehabilitation.
Suitability and recovery
The interview discusses a three-session example with approximately one month between visits. Temporary swelling and aching are described as possible reactions following treatment. The original presents an autologous source and ultrasound guidance as factors in the physician’s risk assessment, while also mentioning bruising at the application site.
Dr. Wu specifically notes that people in an acute inflammatory phase, those with platelet-related disorders or a history of cancer need physician evaluation before deciding on suitability. The discussion does not establish blanket eligibility.
Follow the treating team’s instructions
The original report includes the physician’s advice about anti-inflammatory medicines, cooling followed by warmth, and adequate protein and vitamin C. These instructions are presented as part of his reported treatment plan; medication decisions should remain with the treating clinician.
The feature closes by encouraging people with joint or ligament concerns to seek rehabilitation-specialist assessment early and to progress through recovery at an appropriate pace. The original linked interview video is retained when available.
