Medica Stem Cells

  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.

  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 terrib...

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 ...

  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%.

Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative cell therapy, is exponentially becoming popular to cure different spine or bones related conditions. However, it is mainly performed to treat osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. With aging, the protective layer of bone starts to deteriorate. Once these protective layers are entirely removed, bones begin to dissent with each other, resulting in swelling and stiffness. Eventually, people with OA faces a problem with walking and moving. What is Stem Cell Therapy? In stem cell therapy, stem cells are directed to the affected area where pain prompts. Generally, the stem cell is immature that is awaited to be developed.
