Integrating Stem Cell Therapy
At Life Uncoded, we provide a range of services to address conditions of joint pain caused by osteoarthritis that include stem cell therapy and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments.
Stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis is part of a new medical approach, known as regenerative medicine. Like other procedures, it offers the hope of reduced pain and the ability to be more like you were.
For people suffering from the symptoms of osteoarthritis, stem cell therapy seeks to use the body’s own stems cells to repair damaged tissue. Importantly, this intervention is not a cure but may help to reduce the need for other responses, such as surgery. The data, while showing significant promise involving stem cell therapy, is inconclusive in defining or measuring the clinical efficacy of stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis.
Age and Osteoarthritis
While osteoarthritis can affect younger people, it is when we reach the age of forty-five years and over, that we begin to feel the effects of osteoarthritis more acutely.
For people aged over forty-five who suffer from the debilitating effects of osteoarthritis, effective stem cell therapy appears to help relieve symptoms such as pain and limited movement. Equally, effective stem cell therapy can help young or active people with osteoarthritis or recovering from injury and trauma.
How Stem Cell Therapy integrates with other approaches
At Life Uncoded, we advise people to undertake stem cell therapies as part of an integrated approach to managing their osteoarthritis and health in order give this treatment the highest chance of success.
This can include appropriate movement and exercise, losing weight, osteopathy, and remedial massage, and understanding how to improve your dietary intake, including alcohol, to help minimise the effects of osteoarthritis.
Stem Cell Therapy and surgery
Consider stem cell therapy as an intervention before joint replacement; prior to or alongside, arthroscopic surgery; or to enhance the outcome of surgery when additional healing might be required.
Importantly, before undertaking any medical procedure, you should consult your doctor and inform yourself fully about the risks and options available to get the best results in managing and treating your condition.
If you have chronic pain in joints of the knee, hip, lower back and shoulder, or fingers and toes, we suggest you consult our medical practitioners to learn more about how PRP, and stem cell therapy might help you.
