Therapy for Arthritis Management
Sometimes we wonder what happened to our youth when we wake up and things are aching and cracking as we stretch to prepare for the day. For some people, this wondering starts earlier than it does for others!
Whether it’s due to arthritis, healing from repeated sprains or fractures, or our muscles getting fatigued more easily than they used to, we often reminisce about the days of old...or young, in this case! As happy as we are for the lives we lead today, we can’t help but miss some of the youthful elasticity and durability of our bones, muscles, and joints we had as a kid. Over time, those bones, muscles, and joints become vulnerable to wearing down. Developing certain conditions or sustaining injuries can make this process happen even faster, sometimes leading to the development of a chronic condition that lasts longer than six months and doesn’t fully heal.
In the event we develop chronic conditions, like tendonitis or arthritis, there are innovative treatments on the horizon helping to change the game. Specifically, when it comes to those with arthritis, we have all the offerings you could imagine! A revolutionary and ever-improving treatment, called stem cell therapy. The science behind stem cell therapy relies on donated placentas of newborn babies to grab from the extremely regenerative properties of the young and versatile cells found inside the placenta. When those new cells are harvested, they’re then injected into the areas we are experiencing chronic pain. This helps promote quicker and more efficient healing, something desperately needed in most chronic cases of arthritis. The injection stimulates young stem cells to grow into newer, healthier versions of the tissues that are damaged and inflamed in the area affected by arthritis.
