About Greenside Vets
At Greenside, we are passionate about improving the quality of life for animals through traditional veterinary care and also through regenerative therapy.
Age, injury and essential operations can all have an impact on an animal’s mobility and can cause pain and discomfort. Through a range of treatments, we aim to restore the joy of movement, and reduce pain.
Greenside Veterinary Practice was the first practice in the UK to use culture expanded mesenchymal stem cells to treat osteoarthritis in dogs and cats. If you are looking for our other services not relating to regenerative medicine, please visit greensidevetpractice.co.uk.
Since the initial trials done in June 2014 we have treated hundreds of dogs and cats with stem cell therapy. We currently have treated more animals with regenerative medicine therapies than anyone else in the UK and have collected data on every patient that we have treated and therefore hold the most extensive data base of treatment responses in this country. We have a greater than 90% success rate in reducing pain and debility with our combination therapies which is greater than that reported by other centres. Greenside vets stem cell therapy.
We accept referrals for regenerative therapies from all over the UK and it is easy to refer to us.
We have extensive experience in this new technology and are actively involved in collecting data and publishing our work to promote the use of these therapies in animals. We contribute to stem cell research in this country and in America. Andy Armitage BSc BVM&S MRCVS heads up the regenerative medicine team at Greenside Veterinary Practice and has pioneered new stem cell treatment options for Lumbo-sacral disease and spinal osteoarthritis and has developed protocols for combination therapies to give the best chance of treatment success.
Stem cell treatment utilises the body's own cells to heal and regenerate damaged tissues in acute and chronic conditions, including arthritis and soft tissue injuries.
