“What if you could walk, run, and play sports again without debilitating knee pain from osteoarthritis? A new stem cell treatment is making that dream a reality for many patients.
The minimally invasive injection, which uses stem cells derived from umbilical cord tissue, has been shown to reverse cartilage damage, reduce inflammation, and dramatically decrease pain—all with a single shot.” -MSN Health
Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition that often leads to the daunting prospect of knee replacement surgery. However, regenerative medicine is a game-changing area of healthcare that offers a promising alternative: Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy.
This advanced treatment involves injecting mesenchymal stem cells directly into the affected knee joint. A Mesenchymal stem cell is a primitive cell with the ability to differentiate into multiple tissues and reduce inflammation, providing a less invasive option for those suffering from osteoarthritis.
Once injected, the stem cells travel in the most direct path to areas of damaged cartilage, where they begin repairing and replicating based upon the tissue needed.This process not only spurs the regeneration of healthy cartilage but also slows the progression of osteoarthritis. Over time, the stem cells will build upon each other and because of this, most patients will see improvement over the course of 6 months until full results from the treatment are realized.
According to Martha A. Lavallie in, “Stem Cell Shot Offers New Hope for Osteoarthritis Sufferers.” Mesenchymal stem cells can be harvested from various sources, including bone marrow, adipose (fat) tissue, and umbilical cord blood. However, research suggests that stem cells derived from umbilical cord tissue or the patient’s own fat yield the best results for treating knee osteoarthritis.
Imagine getting back to doing the things you love- walking, running, playing with kids, grandkids- without the lengthy recovery time and many risks associated with knee replacement. With millions of people worldwide suffering from osteoarthritis this is making that dream a reality. Why go under the knife when you can regenerate naturally?
