Thumb Arthritis? – Predict & Treat with Regenerative Cell Treatment

 Are you suffering from pain, swelling, tenderness or stiffness in your thumb? Do you experience these symptoms for a minimum of five weeks? Are you facing difficulty while turning the doorknobs? Do you have stiffness in your thumb joints for more than 20 minutes when your body is at rest? In that case, be vigilant. You might be having a painful disease named thumb arthritis.


Thumb arthritis occurs as you grow older. Trauma to your thumb joint can also cause arthritis. Usually, cartilage covers the bones without allowing them to glide against each other. When you have thumb arthritis, this cartilage deteriorates. Hence, the bones glide against each other, leading to joint damage.



Women are more prone to develop thumb arthritis compared to men. Mostly, women above the age of 40 get affected. At times, rheumatoid arthritis and joint malformation may affect your thumb portion.


Know the 9 ways to predict thumb arthritis


1. Pain, swelling, tenderness, and stiffness at the base of your thumb for around six weeks or more.

2. You may have deformed finger joints

3. Reduced strength while holding the objects

4. Difficulty while opening the jars or turning door knobs 

5. X-ray test of your thumb may show bone spur, loss of joint space, or worn-down cartilage

6. Reduced range of motion

7. Bony or enlarged appearance at the base of your thumb

8. Presence of nodules or lumps beneath the skin on your thumb

9. Grinding sound or gritty feeling when your physician holds your joint with pressure while moving your thumb

 

If you ignore this chronic inflammation, it may lead to irreversible joint deformity.


Treatment for Thumb Arthritis


Though there are various conventional methods such as R.I.C.E. formula (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation), and physical therapy, with these you may experience only short-term relief. Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroid injections may cause systemic side effects like heart, gastrointestinal and kidney problems. 


Hence your physician may recommend joint replacement surgery if the conventional methods fail. Before proceeding to surgery, it’s better to try regenerative cell treatment to avoid surgical complications.


Revive your cells naturally!


Regenerative cell treatment in Ireland includes stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to revive the functions of damaged tissues. As they involve your own cells, there is no risk of infection and allergy. They fasten the healing process, as well as revive the injured tissues. As regenerative cells can differentiate into bones and cartilages, they promote natural and quick healing of the damaged joint tissues. Hence, this therapy, in turn, strengthens the balance of your body with long-lasting benefits and no risk of side effects. Additionally, this minimally invasive regenerative cell treatment provides quick recovery within a short duration.
