Knee osteoarthritis can be a debilitating condition, but with advances in medicine, there are multiple treatment options available. Two primary approaches for managing knee osteoarthritis are regenerative therapy and surgery. Here’s a closer look at how these treatments differ and which might be best for you. What is Regenerative Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis? Regenerative therapy is a non-surgical, innovative treatment aimed at promoting the body’s natural healing processes to repair damaged tissues. Two common forms of regenerative therapy are Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy . These treatments harness the body’s own cells to reduce inflammation, encourage tissue repair, and improve joint function. Benefits of Regenerative Therapy: Minimally invasive: No incisions or significant recovery time is required. Promotes natural healing: These therapies aim to repair the damaged tissue in the joint rather than just managing symptoms. Lower risk of complications:

 Knee pain is a common issue affecting people of all ages, often caused by injuries, arthritis, or wear and tear over time. While many treatment options exist, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has emerged as a highly effective and non-invasive alternative for those seeking long-term relief without the need for surgery or heavy reliance on medication. What is PRP Therapy? PRP therapy involves using your body’s own platelets, extracted from your blood, to accelerate healing in damaged tissues. These platelets are rich in growth factors that aid in tissue regeneration and repair, making them an ideal treatment option for knee pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, and tendonitis. Why PRP is an Excellent Knee Pain Treatment Natural Healing : Since PRP uses your own blood, it enhances the body’s natural healing process, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair without the use of foreign substances. Minimally Invasive : Unlike surgery, PRP injections

  Knee Pain Management: Dos and Don'ts for an Active Life Living with knee pain can be challenging, but adopting the right strategies can significantly improve your quality of life. By following some simple dos and don’ts, you can manage your knee pain more effectively and maintain your mobility. Dos for Managing Knee Pain Stay Active with Low-Impact Exercises It’s essential to keep moving despite knee pain. Engage in low-impact activities like swimming, cycling, or walking, which help maintain mobility and strengthen the muscles around the knee without putting too much strain on the joint. Maintain a Healthy Weight Excess weight puts added pressure on your knees, worsening the pain. Losing even a small amount of weight can make a significant difference in reducing the strain on your joints and alleviating discomfort. Apply Hot and Cold Therapy Alternating between heat and cold therapy can help ease knee pain. Use a heating pad to relax the muscles around the joint, and apply an ic

 Regenerative medicine represents a groundbreaking approach to healthcare, aimed at repairing, restoring, and regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body. Unlike traditional treatments that focus on symptom management, regenerative medicine targets the underlying causes of various conditions, offering a more holistic path to healing. What Is Regenerative Medicine? Regenerative medicine uses advanced biological therapies, including stem cells, growth factors, and tissue engineering, to encourage the body’s natural repair mechanisms. These treatments can stimulate cell regeneration, helping the body to heal itself more effectively. Key Applications of Regenerative Medicine Regenerative medicine has a wide range of applications across multiple medical fields. It's particularly effective for conditions such as: Osteoarthritis : Promoting cartilage regeneration and joint health. Knee and Hip Injuries : Supporting faster recovery from injuries. Chronic Joint Pain : Reducing infla

  Knee pain is a frequently reported problem in adults, primarily linked to the natural deterioration caused by everyday movements such as walking, bending, standing, and lifting. Additionally, athletes engaged in high-impact activities like running or sports involving jumping and quick changes in direction are more prone to knee pain. Regardless of whether knee pain results from ageing or injury, it can cause significant inconvenience and even hinder daily activities in severe cases. Knowing the causes and symptoms with the proper diagnosis helps to determine the right  knee pain treatment without surgery. What should you know about knee pain? The knee joint comprises bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and a bursal sac, making it the most intricate joint in the human body. All these components must work harmoniously to carry out activities like walking, running, jumping, and bending. The knee joint has the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap). It connects th

  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? Here’s the reason! How COV

  It’s time to change Nearly 126 million people worldwide have suffered pain for the past three months. Among them, 40 million people undergo pain every day, and 20 million have severe pain that limits their routine activities. Most people opt for standard traditional treatments such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and surgeries to eliminate the pain. Unfortunately, these treatments provide relief only for a concise duration. And also may develop serious side effects in long-term use. For example: NSAIDs and steroids promote joint cartilage loss Opioids prove to be too addictive NSAIDs increase the risk of heart attack, kidney failure, stroke, and gastrointestinal bleeding Corticosteroid injections increase the risk of infection, promote further degeneration of weakened tissues, and increase sugar levels in your body Surgeries also lead to more degeneration, followed by the possibility of joint replacement in five

  What is shoulder impingement? The main cause of shoulder impingement is shoulder pain. When you lift the arm above the shoulder level, the subacromial space becomes narrow. Hence, the soft tissues, tendons, and muscles surrounding the area will become tired due to increased pressure. This extra pressure aggravates the rotator cuff, and this causes shoulder impingement. As shoulder impingement is common among swimmers, it is also called a swimmer’s shoulder. Shoulder impingement is also present among the racket players and the throwers as they frequently move their arms above shoulder level. It can also occur if someone falls by stretching the arms in the outer portion. Suppose there is damage in the rotator cuff, the heaviness inside the tendon increases, which will lead to the compression of the blood capillaries. Hence, there is an inflammation in the tissues, and the pain slowly starts to aggravate. The pain will travel towards the backside, and you’ll have difficulty sleeping at

  Start running again with Regenerative Treatment for Runner’s knee The Knee joint is one of the most important and strongest joints of the locomotor system of the human body. The pressure experienced by the knee joint is approximately three times the body’s weight when walking and about five times the body’s weight when running. In short, a person who weighs 80 kg puts about 400kg of pressure on the knee when landing each running stride. The immense pressure experienced by the knee, especially in runners, makes the knee more prone to injury. Iliotibial or IT band syndrome, also called runner’s knee, is a common knee injury, especially in runners. It is the second most common knee injury in runners after the jumper’s knee. What is Iliotibial or IT band syndrome or runner’s knee? The Iliotibial band, or IT band, is longitudinal fibrous support of the Fascia Lata. It is originating from the upper outer part of the hip and runs along the outside and lastly attaches to the top of the shinb

  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-sock

  Thumb osteoarthritis is a deteriorating condition, so many people are forced to opt for thumb joint replacement. However, many people are unaware of non-invasive alternate methods for delaying or avoiding thumb joint replacement surgeries. In Medica Stem Cells Clinic, we offer treatment methods that may help you avoid the invasive method of thumb joint replacement with non-invasive therapies for  thumb osteoarthritis . Let us know first what thumb osteoarthritis is before we proceed with the non-invasive methods. How thumb osteoarthritis occurs? Compared to the other fingers, the thumb is distinctive because it can rotate more on its own at the carpometacarpal joint (CMC joint). CMC joint is situated at the bottom of the thumb, and it is commonly known as a basal joint. The thumb joint is held together inside a joint capsule that is filled with synovial fluid. This synovial fluid acts as a lubricant for the smooth movement of the thumb. Thumb osteoarthritis usually occurs in the CMC

  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
