  1. Heal Knee Arthritis Pain with Regenerative Treatment

  2. Knee pain is very common in both the elders and the youngsters. The common reason for this knee pain is arthritis. • There are two types of knee arthritis. • They are Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. • Osteoarthritis is the other name for wear-and-tear arthritis, and it is a degenerative condition. • The cartilage between the bone joints provides a cushion-like effect. • In the case of osteoarthritis, wear and tear activities remove cartilage slowly. • Hence, the joint bones rub with each other and give rise to knee pain.

  3. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, the cartilage gets damaged, and the immune system attacks itself. • Severe knee pain deteriorates the muscles around the knee portion. Hence, there will be a joint deformity in this condition. • The knee shape will point outwards or inwards • You won’t undergo only pain in knee arthritis. • You may develop many other symptoms in this condition. • There will be stiffness, swelling, tenderness, limited movement, and warm sensation. • You may hear cracking noise while climbing the steps..

  4. Reasons for knee arthritis • Compared to males, females are more prone to arthritis. • There are many reasons for developing knee arthritis. • Trauma, obesity, genetics, previous joint injuries, bone deformities, vigorous activities with repetitive movement, deficiency of calcium, deficiency of Vitamin D, and family history are some of the causes for having knee arthritis. • Iron overload and over secretion of growth hormone can also increase the risk of developing knee arthritis.

  5. Diagnosis of Knee Arthritis • By performing a physical examination and X-ray test, your physician can diagnose knee arthritis. • If there is severe pain, the physician may go for an MRI test for a detailed examination of cartilage, bones, and soft bones. • Moreover, the physician may suggest a blood test or a synovial fluid examination to detect rheumatoid arthritis.

  6. Treatment by Medications for Knee Arthritis • The initial measures for treating knee pain include medication and RICE therapy. • These methods are followed to avoid further joint pain and control the symptoms. RICE therapy is a home-based treatment. • It comprises Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation. • You may experience only short-term relief while consuming medications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics. • On having persistent pain, the physician may prescribe corticosteroid injections. • There are few side effects in this treatment as well. • Moreover, you will experience only temporary relief. If corticosteroid injections are used for an extended period, it will suppress the body’s natural healing mechanism. • And, this condition may lead to knee replacement surgery.

  7. Treating Knee Arthritis with Surgery • You may be recommended to go in for surgery as a last resort if there is no significant improvement in symptoms. • Various surgical procedures like Joint distraction, knee arthroscopy, partial or total knee replacement, and knee osteotomy are surgical interventions. • Moreover, surgery involves an extensive post-rehabilitation period. • Further, there will be a repetitive chance of surgery in the future. • Reducing knee bending and climbing stairs are some of the activity modification strategies you must undergo. • After getting relief from knee pain, you’ll have to follow physical therapy, use assistive devices like sticks and muscle strengthening exercises. • Change in the diet helps in reducing weight. And this will prevent the condition from becoming worse.

  8. Regenerative Treatment for Knee Arthritis • By opting for regenerative treatment, there will be an end to your long-lasting symptoms. • Similarly, you can restore your normal function by repairing damaged cells. • This regenerative treatment procedure is non-surgical, and there will be minimal downtime. • By stimulating your body’s healing mechanism, we can improve the recovery in a short period. Since your blood cells or regenerative cells are used in therapies, there are no side effects. • You won’t experience any allergy or rejection issues. • Regenerative treatment comprises Prolotherapy, BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) therapy,,PRP (Plasma-Rich Protein) therapyand SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) cell therapy.
