Heal Jumper’s Knee Naturally with Medica Stem Cell Therapy

 Are you a runner or a competitive jumper? Do you overuse your knee repetitively? Check whether you have a Jumper’s knee condition? Jumper’s knee can be referred to as Patellar tendonitis.


Your physician may recommend surgery, especially if the non-surgical methods don’t provide any significant relief. This condition requires treatment, but that need not be surgical. Medica Stem Cells Clinic in the UK recommends Medica Stem Cells therapy and PRP therapy as the best alternative to treat Jumper’s knee.


Before knowing the importance of Medica stem cell therapy, let us learn what patellar tendonitis is.


Regenerative cell therapy for Jumper's knee


What is Jumper’s knee/patellar tendonitis?


Patellar tendonitis occurs when there is an injury to the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone. It arises due to the stressed patellar tendon. The repeated stress of the tendon causes micro-tears that become inflamed over time.


The risk factors may include:


  • Partaking in sports or other physical activities that involve running or jumping 

  • A sudden increase in frequency or intensity of physical activity 

  • Tight hamstrings and quadriceps 

  • Imbalance in muscle strength, with the stronger muscles having a greater pull on the patellar tendon 


Symptoms of Jumper’s knee


Pain between the kneecap and tibia (where the tendon attaches to the shinbone) occur during physical activity or just after. This condition may interfere with daily tasks and movements. This intense pain will eventually prevent participation in physical activity or sport. If you neglect this pain and stress, you may end up with severe patellar tendinopathy.


Tests and Diagnosis 


  • Your physician may check the presence of pain on the front part of the knee, just below the kneecap.

  • Other Imaging tests may include:

  • X-ray test to check for additional bone problems 

  • An ultrasound test to reveal if there is any tear in the patellar tendon.

  • An MRI test to show any changes in the patellar tendon.


Conventional Treatment for Jumper’s knee


The conventional treatment methods for Jumper’s knee involves RICE (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation) formula, activity modification, a physical therapy like strengthening exercises, administration of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and corticosteroid injections. These conventional approaches do not heal the underlying cause of the problem. If you leave the condition untreated, there will be a considerable risk of a patellar tendon rupture, which requires surgical intervention. But again, there is a danger of post-surgical complications.


Regenerative cell therapy for Jumper’s knee


If you could treat the underlying cause non-surgically, would you opt for surgery to treat Jumper’s knee? Well, regenerative therapy offered by our Medica Stem Cells Clinic in UK can treat Jumper’s knee without surgical interventions.


Regenerative treatment includes regenerative cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy combined with physiotherapy and nutritionist advice to support the recovery after the treatment. This minimally invasive therapy can heal and restore the damaged tissues quickly and naturally. It is only your cells that are used to amplify the cells at the damaged site, heal the damaged tissues, and regenerate newer tissues. Hence, there is no risk of rejection or allergy. Though complete regeneration takes some time, patients will notice significant changes within a few weeks. Hence, regenerative therapy is the best alternative to treat Jumper’s knee condition.

Start running again with Regenerative Treatment for Runner’s knee

  The Knee joint is one of the most important and strongest joints of the locomotor system of the human body. The pressure experienced by the knee joint is approximately three times the body’s weight when walking and about five times the body’s weight when running. In short, a person who weighs 80 kg puts about 400kg of pressure on the knee when landing each running stride. The immense pressure experienced by the knee, especially in runners, makes the knee more prone to injury. Iliotibial or IT band syndrome, also called runner’s knee, is a common knee injury, especially in runners. It is the second most common knee injury in runners after the jumper’s knee.  What is Iliotibial or IT band syndrome or runner’s knee? The Iliotibial band, or IT band, is longitudinal fibrous support of the Fascia Lata. It is originating from the upper outer part of the hip and runs along the outside and lastly attaches to the top of the shinbone (tibia). When the knee bends, the IT band ...

Is there a best time to have Regenerative Cell Treatment? We can help with most musculoskeletal conditions for example osteoarthritis grade 1-4 of all major joints as well as back and neck.
