What is the best natural treatment for severe chronic lower back pain and knee arthritis?

 Regenerative treatment can be the best natural treatment for severe chronic lower back pain and knee arthritis.

Regenerative treatment includes regenerative cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (P.R.P.) therapy. 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 severe chronic lower back pain and knee arthritis.



Moreover, there is ample evidence to support this treatment.


A research study published in the journal Arthroscopy revealed that P.R.P. injections were significantly more effective than hyaluronic acid injections by providing long term pain relief with improved joint function. Hyaluronic acid can only lubricate the knee joint, but it cannot treat cartilage loss, unlike P.R.P. therapy [1].

 

Another scientific study revealed that regenerative cell therapy might provide better pain relief compared to NSAIDs drugs and corticosteroid injections [2]. 

 

Compared to corticosteroid injections, P.R.P. therapy provides more long-term relief from joint pain and enhances the quality of life in a shorter duration. People think that P.R.P. treatment is just like cortisone. But it is not in fact. Long-term use of cortisone injections will ultimately suppress the body’s natural healing mechanism and end up with knee replacement surgery. But P.R.P. therapy aims at repairing the injured tissue by stimulating your body’s healing mechanism naturally. Hence, you do not end up with surgery in the later stage [3]. 

 

Recently, SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) cell therapy in elders with grade 2-4 degenerative knee osteoarthritis is safe, rapid, and effective with significant improvement in their quality of life [4]. Nevertheless, the use of BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) therapy is equally safe and beneficial [5].

Heal Tennis Elbow With Regenerative Treatment

  The lateral epicondyle is a bony bump on the outer side of the elbow. Lateral epicondylitis, also known as Tennis elbow, is an inflammatory condition that causes pain if tendons in the elbow get injured due to overuse of the arm and the wrist. Unlike the name, athletes are not the only ones who develop this disorder. Painters, plumbers, butchers, carpenters, and repetitive computer mouse users are also prone to lateral epicondylitis, as their jobs involve the overuse of both arm and wrist. The muscles of the forearm and tendons get damaged due to their repetitive overuse. This intense pain may also spread to the wrist and forearm. The symptoms of Tennis elbow include: Pain on the outer part of the elbow Tenderness over the lateral epicondyle (prominent part on the outside of the elbow) Weaker range of motion Stiffness The following actions may aggravate the symptoms of Tennis elbow: Shaking hands Griping an object Turning a doorknob Holding a coffee cup Lifting or bending arm Mov...

Will cracking your knuckles leads to osteoarthritis? – Ask Our Medical Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland

  Are you the knuckle cracker? Did anyone warn you by saying that this habit will lead to osteoarthritis? Don’t worry! There’s no evidence to back up that saying.   Cracking your knuckles is not the cause of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage, which coats the ends of the joints, breaks down. As the cartilage continues to tear over time, the bones rub each other, which hinders your movement and causes pain. Remember that the causes of osteoarthritis include wear-and-tear, repeated hand movements, past trauma and a genetic predisposition if any.  How does the popping sound arise during knuckle cracking? Your finger joints consist of synovial fluid that helps in moving around the joints smoothly. This fluid has gas bubbles. Whenever you crack your knuckles, you extend the space between the joints. Hence, the bubbles will burst, followed by creating a popping sound. Since it takes time for the bubbles to accumulate again, you can’t crack the same kn...

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. 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 ...
