GOLDIC® SERUM
INTRA-MUSCULAR INJECTIONS
GOLDIC® serum injections are increasingly used in patients with sports-related injuries. The results of healing with conventional therapy including rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) are often inadequate, generating substantial interest in the potential for emerging technologies such as GOLDIC® serum.
Goal is to enhance the process of soft-tissue healing without scar formation and to help reduce the risk of recurrence following hamstring injury and of course decrease the time to recovery. Hamstring injury is the most common musculoskeletal disorder.
Muscle injuries are graded based on physical findings and the results of ultrasonography and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The standard grading system has three levels (grade I, II, and III). But, in athletes with hamstring injuries, the baseline physical examination has been shown to predict return-to-play at the pre-injury level within 40 days. Most patients with minor injuries had a total time to return to play shorter than 25 days. Severe hamstring injuries, in contrast, may require up to 60 days to heal fully.
Thus, GOLDIC® treatments designed to expedite healing are most relevant among patients with severe injuries (grade III).
All GOLDIC® intra-muscular injections are performed as an outpatient procedure. An experienced physician should perform the injections.
