Does Stem Cell Treatment Work For Osteoarthritis? What Do You Need To Know?

Image
  Currently, researchers consider stem cells as the possible answer to many medical conditions, especially  osteoarthritis . Their hope is that  stem cell treatment  can stop the progression caused by an ailment by repairing it. However, more research studies are ongoing to determine how stem cell therapy can be more effective and advanced to current protocols. Are you wondering what makes stem cell therapy so unique? Let’s read on. How does stem cell therapy work? Stem cell treatment uses the patient’s own cells to help restore the damaged tissues of your hip or knee joint. Unlike other treatments, stem cell therapy treats the underlying cause of knee pain and other joint pain. Hence, this therapy can reduce joint pain, increase movement, increase flexibility, speed up regeneration, improve blood flow, and treat ligament or tendon tears for a prolonged duration. Adult stem cell therapy is non-invasive and safe. Studies recommend that its side effects are very minimal with no adverse e

5 Knee Pain Symptoms You Shouldn’t Overlook

  The knee joint includes bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bursal sac. Hence, it is considered the most complex joint of the human body. All these parts should work together in a coordinated manner for various routine activities like walking, running, jumping, and bending. The central part of the knee joint includes the thigh bone (femur), shinbone (tibia), and kneecap (patella). It is the connecting link between the shinbone and the thigh bone, where it helps many other body parts to work. The lubricant present in the bursa works as a cushioning agent between your knee bones to prevent the occurrence of any friction. Any injury in this knee region causes pain. Knee pain either goes away on its own or aggravates. However, it would help if you never ignored several other symptoms along with the knee pain. Let us go through those five knee pain symptoms one by one: 5 SYMPTOMS OF COMMON KNEE AILMENTS 1. Consistent pain while walking or climbing stairs Do you experience terrible p

  When people have pain in their hip region, most don’t investigate it right away. A lot of them tolerate the pain, especially if it sustains only for an hour or so. Only when the hip pain crosses the limit, they decide to consult a doctor. By that time, the condition might deteriorate where treatments don’t work due to delay. Physicians ultimately will recommend the patient for surgery due to failure in other conventional treatment methods. ‘Earlier the diagnosis, earlier the treatment’ –  this should be everyone’s motto. Hence, this blog article aims to present the symptoms of varied types of common hip-related problems and raise awareness of potential  hip pain  conditions. So you can get the treatment well in advance. ANATOMY OF THE HIP REGION   The hip is a weight-bearing region made up of a ball-and-socket joint. The upper part of the thighbone is the ball region. Similarly, the portion of the pelvic bone is the socket region. Articular cartilage is found beneath this ball-and-so

Has COVID-19 Infection Affected Your Muscles And Increased Joint Pain?

  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added muscle/joint pain to its list of COVID-19 symptoms in April 2020. However, COVID-19 isn’t the only cause of joint or muscle pain. Varied factors like influenza, chronic illness, and injuries can also lead to muscle or joint pain (arthralgia). Here’s what you should know about muscle pain associated with COVID-19 and what to do about it. STATUS OF MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS According to the 2016 Global Burden of Disease Study, the global burden of painful musculoskeletal conditions ranges from 20-32%. COVID-19 has further increased the burden. COVID-19 has affected the respiratory tract and the musculoskeletal system, causing muscle pain, joint pain, restricted range of motion, joint stiffness, and fatigue. These symptoms persist for months, thereby reducing the quality of life. People continue to suffer from these musculoskeletal problems even after recovery from COVID-19 infection. Do you know why?

Conditions or ailments ranging from hair loss to arthritis are successfully managed by conventional treatments such as medications, physical therapy and steroid injections. However, they could offer relief from symptoms for a very short duration.  While looking for permanent relief, doctors usually recommend surgery as a last resort. If you have experienced the same, hold on! Here comes  non-surgical regenerative medicine  that might work for you.  WHAT IS REGENERATIVE MEDICINE? The phrase “Regenerative medicine” was coined in the year 1999. “Regenerative” is a term that means revival and restoration. Regenerative medicine not only treats symptoms but also aims to replace damaged tissues with new tissues by restoring the body’s healing mechanism, reducing inflammation and pain and restoring joint mobility. It tackles the root cause of the ailment.  As we age, our body’s healing mechanism becomes weak. Doctors collect regenerative cells and inject them into the affected area to enhance
