Stem Cell Therapy for Joint Pain

09 Nov Stem Cell Therapy for Joint Pain

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 20 percent of the American population live with some form of disease-induced joint pain. That’s almost 60 million people suffering from mild to severe joint pain that permanently alters their way of life. Trauma from road accidents, work-related accidents, and constant use could also affect joints such as the hip, wrist, knee, and spine, causing a drastic reduction in quality of life.

Unfortunately, some people have to bear the pain for years as traditional medical procedures such as surgeries and medications only seek to manage the condition. In fact, some forms of surgeries on sensitive joints, such as the spine, could cause more harm than good. On the other hand, regenerative medicine seeks to correct the underlying issue and completely eradicate the pain.

Studies have revealed that the use of stem cells on troubled joints could trigger the growth of new and healthy tissues through cellular regeneration.  Stem cell therapy encourages cellular reproduction and regeneration in troubled body parts to address defects and begin a complete repair process. It is a minimally-invasive procedure that has shown highly encouraging results in mild to severe conditions, including joint pain.

Conditions that cause joint pain

The first step towards treating joint pain is deciding on its cause. Joint pain could be disease or trauma-induced. Inflammation, attack from the immune system, stiff joints, wearing out of the joint’s protective cartilages, and many other conditions can lead to joint pain. Some of the conditions that cause joint pain are:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: one of the most common and painful forms of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the sensitive linings of the joints and other body systems. When it affects the joints, rheumatoid arthritis could lead to inflammation, bone erosion, and joint deformity.
• Osteoarthritis: the most common form of arthritis, Osteoarthritis is brought on by the wearing down of the protective cartilages in joints. These cartilages cushion the ends of bones in joints where they connect to other bones. They also stop them from rubbing against each other.
• Bursitis: an inflammatory condition that affects the Bursae, the filled-fluid sacs that cushion and supports the movement of the joints. The condition causes difficulties in moving the joints.
• Tendonitis: This condition affects the tendons, strong tissues that connect the muscles and bones, causing mild to severe pain at the affected joint.
• Trauma: road or work-related accidents, falls, direct blows to the joints, and other forms of trauma could also tear or weaken the protective tissues and linings of the joints, leading to extreme pain and discomfort.
