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.

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 ...

When is the Best time for Regenerative Cell Treatment

  The best time for Regenerative Cell Treatment is now. Why wait?  It will only prolong your pain.  Have you been suffering with pain for many years? It is still not too late. 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. The question you might ask yourself though is when is the best time to start treatment? There are multiple factors which influence the best time to start treatment. There are 4 stages of  osteoarthritis  with grade 4 being the most severe. Unfortunately, most patients we see leave it quite late to get treated, which can affect the overall outcome. While still good results can be achieved it is best to address degeneration of a joint early, adhering to the principle that prevention is better than cure. I have had symptoms and pain for many years. Is it too late to have Regenerative Cell Treatment? H...
