Arthritis and Orthopedic Conditions

In the United States, countless individuals suffer from excruciating orthopedic injuries and arthritis every day, with millions experiencing long-term effects that include debilitating pain, inflammation, and even immobility, leading to a significant decrease in their quality of life.

The harsh reality is that there is presently no cure for these conditions, and surgical interventions are not always successful, often resulting in unwanted side effects or only a partial fix. The management of these ailments through cortisone therapy, anti-inflammatories, analgesics, surgery, and physical therapy is inadequate, as it merely treats the symptoms of pain and inflammation, rather than addressing the root cause. Alternative therapies such as glucosamine, chondroitin, fish oil, and hyaluronic acid offer little to no benefit to those who suffer from these debilitating conditions.

What problem do patients face?

The three major problems when it comes to treating orthopedic injuries and arthritis are daunting: the insult caused by an orthopedic injury to the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and/or bone is extremely difficult to repair and return to pre-injury states, arthritis is caused by an immune response that frequently causes damage to the joints, and joints have a poor capacity for healing and repair, with minimal cartilage regeneration and a lack of blood flow to aid in repair.

What is the solution?

An alternative natural solution to orthopedic injury and arthritis with a wealth of scientific backing is the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from a vibrant source. MSCs can regulate the immune system and release many different types of growth factors to aid in healing and repair. 

Cellular inflammation is the main source of pain in living things. MSCs fight this inflammation, resulting in decreased levels of pain. In the days following MSC therapy, most patients notice:

• Noticeable improvement in primary complaint
• Increased range of motion
• Improved therapeutic response
• Decreased joint inflammation, swelling, and stiffness
• Substantially decreased levels of pain
• Quicker healing and recovery
• Significant overall improvement of physical condition

MSCs possess exceptional regenerative properties that allow them to activate other cells within the body, initiating a healing and regenerative response that is entirely natural. One impressive outcome of MSCs therapy relates to its speed to return patients to activity. Most patients who receive MSCs therapy feel comfortable returning to daily activity within 24 hours, whereas traditional knee surgery can take months to recover. However, it is advisable to wait 21 days before resuming high-impact activities. The application of MSCs as a treatment option for orthopedic injuries and arthritis is a promising development that brings hope to those suffering from these debilitating conditions.
