Stem cell therapy for the knees has the potential to help many people. Knee pain is a common condition affecting millions of people in the United States and worldwide. Given the daily load that your legs bear, a knee problem can limit your movement. Knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life, and anti-inflammatory medications can only go so far. Suffice it to say; there is a lot of interest in finding solutions to knee pain and restoring healthy joint function.
The knee is one of the most complicated and powerful joints in the human body. It is essential in supporting the body’s weight and allowing movement of the lower limbs. In addition, knee joint movement is required for sitting, standing, and walking. Any common knee disability can make daily activities difficult. Most of them have preferred conservative treatment for knee pain, such as medications, physical therapy, and invasive surgery for chronic knee conditions.
With numerous advancements in orthopedics, stem cell therapy is gaining popularity due to its advantages over traditional orthopedic treatments. Stem cell therapy relieves knee pain and helps promote cartilage regeneration and repair. Numerous research papers on the possibility of stem cells in knee cartilage regeneration have been published over the last two decades.
The ability of stem cells to regenerate has paved the way for novel regenerative therapies in orthopedics. The stem cell treatment for the knee uses the patient’s biological cells to repair damaged knee cartilage. The stem cell procedure does not require any skin incisions. Regenerative stem cell therapy for knee cartilage is the most efficient non-surgical treatment option for knee conditions like meniscus tear and cartilage damage, which causes knee pain and arthritis. Furthermore, stem cell therapy is a viable alternative to surgery for knee replacement.
The cartilage covering the bones’ ends allows them to slide against each other with only minor friction easily. OA damages the cartilage and increases friction, resulting in pain, inflammation, and, eventually, loss of mobility and function.
Stem cell therapy, in theory, uses the body’s healing mechanisms to help rebuild and slow the deterioration of body tissues like cartilage.
The goal of stem cell therapy for knees is to:
In simple terms, treatment entails:
Stem cell therapy for knees is noninvasive, and research indicates minimal side effects.
Some individuals may experience momentary enhanced pain and swelling following the procedure. However, most individuals who receive stem cell injections experience no adverse side effects.
The procedure employs stem cells derived from your own body. In theory, this dramatically reduces the possibility of severe side effects. However, there are various methods for harvesting and processing stem cells, which may influence the rates of success of the published studies.
It is best to do the following before beginning any treatment:
The duration of pain relief after stem cell treatment for knee, back, shoulder, and joint pain can vary. Several studies using stem cells to treat arthritis have yielded long-term results ranging from six months to years. It’s difficult to determine whether the patients experienced pain relief after the study ended.
However, these studies revealed a structural inversion of arthritic diseases from the point of injection. These findings have been confirmed by studies that show structural changes in serial MRIs. Based on this evidence, it is reasonable to conclude that the good outcomes from stem cell injections cannot be reproduced with any other type of orthopedic treatment.
While we cannot guarantee how long our stem cell treatments will last, the clinical studies mentioned above demonstrate the positive effects stem cell treatment can have on arthritis sufferers.
Despite conflicting evidence on whether stem cell injections collaborate, many clinics provide them as a treatment option for arthritic knee pain.
Because stem cell treatment for arthritic knee pain is still perceived as “investigational” by the FDA, the treatment is not yet standardized, and doctors and clinics can charge whatever they want.
The treatment can cost several thousand dollars per knee; most insurance companies need not cover it.
