HEAL BUNION NONSURGICALLY WITH REGENERATIVE TREATMENT

 A bunion (referred by professionals as hallux valgus) is an unnatural deformity of the first metatarsal bone (the bone connecting the foot to the big toe). A hump at this bone causes the big toe to deviate towards the adjacent toe, which pushes the joint outside, giving rise to the bunion. It may arise due to heredity, arthritis, or prolonged usage of tight-fitting shoes. Bunions are often very painful, which may change the shape of the foot permanently. It can be easily treated with supportive measures like changing to comfortable footwear and pain relievers. In rare cases, some complications may arise if bunion goes untreated. In such cases, your physician may recommend surgery. 

Hold on in that case! Our Medica Stem Cells therapy in the UK will help in healing the bunion naturally by itself. Let us first understand the causes of this condition and see how regenerative treatment can be the right surgical alternate.


Causes 

The exact reasons that cause bunions cannot be pointed out. There are several factors associated with the development of a bunion, which includes the following:

  • Heredity can significantly increase the risk of developing a bunion, though it is not mandatory in all cases.

  • Toe arthritis. 

  • Wearing footwear that fits too tightly, especially at the toes.


Signs and Symptoms 

  • The outward appearance of the joint due to the pointing of the big toe towards the next toes gives a bony bump on the edge of the foot.

  • Swelling, stiffness, and pain in the affected joint, which worsens with pressure.

  • Redness and hardening of the skin due to overlapping of the big toe onto the next toe.

  • Soring of the skin over the big toe or corn development.

  • Decreased foot movement with a weak range of motion. 

  • Pain while walking.

  • A gradual change in the foot shape.

  • Hammertoe (abnormally bent toe).


Conventional Treatment 

By observing the outward bump, the physician can quickly diagnose a bunion. To know the cause and severity of this bunion condition, he will be examining the foot via the X-Ray test. Conventional treatment modalities such as the consumption of NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), activity modification like wearing specially designed shoes with padding or orthotics (insoles), and corticosteroid injections can only mask the symptoms temporarily. Hence, it’s high time to treat the bunion permanently. But surgery (bunionectomy) is not the only option. 

Here comes regenerative treatment which helps in treating the disease at the damaged site non-surgically. It naturally enhances the healing mechanism at the damaged tissues, along with reducing the symptoms such as pain and inflammation. This minimally invasive therapy involves only local anaesthesia.


Regenerative Treatment for Bunions

Compared to conventional methods, regenerative therapy has no risks of rejection or an allergic reaction. It is because the physician uses cells from the patient’s own body. Hence, this regenerative treatment is safe, and patients can return to normal activity much faster.

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...

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 ...
