Knee Pain Treated with Stem Cell Injections[/caption]
Knee Pain Treated with Stem Cell Injections. When we are confronted by knee pain the standard course of treatment is usually quite similar. Recommendations for arthritis medications (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories), cortisone injections, physical therapy, and even surgery are often given.
Few patients are told or are aware of the true nature of knee problems. Most of the time the problem is slowly progressing along a natural course towards arthritis or worsening of it. The eventual outcome is the progressive nature of knee arthritis. Unknown to these patients are that the previously mentioned common treatments do nothing to halt this knee arthritis progression. This is where Regenerative Medicine applications such as Stem Cell Injections come into play. Stem cells may actually retard or slow the progressive nature of knee joint arthritis. Stem cells may exert a potent anti-inflammatory effect that may result in halting the degenerative signals that lead to joint cartilage breakdown. Stem cells may also differentiate into new cartilage cells which may result in repair. The ability of stem cells to treat knee pain and knee disorders is vastly different from all the other common treatments. Surgery also may accelerate knee arthritis leading to eventual knee replacement. This is a goal many patients wish to avoid and is one reason stem cell injections are becoming more popular as a treatment option.
