The treatment is carried out using the latest technology such as the DTS system, laser therapy and SWD to name a few.

In addition to these services Durdans Hospital also recently launched the revolutionary Knee Rehabilitation Therapy – ‘Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)’ –which uses one’s own platelets from blood concentrated and injected to cartilage for speedy recovery.
