Knee pain is caused by many things including injury, degenerative illness, and age. Some knee problems even have their own names, like water on the knee, which occurs when fluid forms around the joint. Runner’s knee is another, caused by repetitive high-intensity activity or structural damage. Whatever the cause, knee pain is debilitating, forcing you to change your habits and lifestyle, and limiting your mobility.
Using regenerative medicine, knee pain sufferers can find relief. Our clinic treats knee pain at the source using all-natural cell therapy to repair damage from within. Whether your pain is caused by a torn meniscus, knee tendonitis, or an MCL tear, regenerative cell therapy can help. Here’s what you need to know.
Regenerative Medicine for Knee Pain
As the name suggests, regenerative cell therapy relieves joint pain by repairing knee damage at the cellular level. All living beings are made up of trillions of tiny microscopic cells. When a cell becomes damaged, it impacts the cells around it. In some cases, such as an injury, many cells become injured at once. Damaged cells sometimes have trouble healing themselves, even though our bodies are programmed to do just that.
Regenerative cell therapy consists of injections made up of umbilical cord tissue that has been donated after a C-section birth. Both mother and baby are fine during the process, and the mother is screened to ensure the highest quality cells. These young cells are quite potent and filled with healing properties like cytokines, mesenchymal cells and growth factors. When injected, they seek out the damaged tissue and begin the healing process.
Another regenerative treatment we use is called PRP or platelet-rich plasma therapy, where cells are encouraged naturally to regenerate. During the PRP process, a small amount of your own blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, separating platelets from plasma. The platelets are then injected back into your injury site to begin healing your body from the inside. Platelets have natural healing properties and encourage the repair and production of cells.
Benefits of Regenerative Knee Pain Treatment
Regenerative cell therapy has many benefits, including its non-invasive approach to treatment. With no surgery or medication required, there are few side effects and little downtime following the procedure. Since PRP therapy uses your own blood, and Regenerative cells have yet to create their own immune system, there are rarely any complications associated with the procedure.
Another benefit of regenerative medicine is its ability to treat sore knees and joint pain at the cause. Rather than offering a short-term Band-aid solution and treating only the symptoms of pain caused by knee problems, regenerative therapy treats the cause of your knee joint pain for long-term knee pain relief.
