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].

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 ...

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 ...

How to Treat Ankle Arthritis with Regenerative Cell Treatment?

    Don’t let this constant severe ankle pain due to arthritis hinder you from doing your routine activities? If your physician says medication and surgery are the only treatment options for ankle arthritis, hold on! Medica Stem Cells therapy in the UK may help in healing the ankle arthritis naturally by itself. Let us first understand the causes and symptoms of the ankle arthritis and see how regenerative cell treatment can be the right surgical alternat ive. What is ankle arthritis? Ankle arthritis occurs at the joint that connects the tibia (shin bone of the leg), and the talus (above the heel bone) called the tibiotalar joint. Ankle arthritis pain emerges at this point in your ankle. It greatly affects your quality of life by hindering your mobility.    Ankle osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the articular cartilage helps in providing a cushion between the bones of the talocrural joint, starts to degenerate gradually. It will decrease...
