As a person gets older, it is normal for the bones to degenerate and become weaker. This degenerative process often results to weakness, inflammation and extreme pain. A common example of this age-related condition is arthritis, a type of osteoarthritis.
Ways to Manage Arthritis
A well-managed weight can help a lot in easing arthritis pain. Being obese can aggravate the condition and can also make it even more painful. Talk to your physician about your ideal weight and don’t just follow diet plans that you get to see on TV or social media. Remember that your body is unique so it’s important discuss your specific needs with a doctor.
Pacing is important. When you sit, walk, work, watch TV, etc., you must take a break every half hour or every hour so that your joints are not tired or overused. Change the position of your legs and hands, tilt your neck, stretch your arms, etc. Taking intervals when doing something and regularly adjusting your position, will allow your joints and ligaments to relax and avoid wear-and-tear.
Don’t smoke. Smoking causes major destruction to your connective tissues. When these tissues are destroyed, the body finds it difficult to repair and regenerate because of old age. In fact, smoking speeds up the aging process of the body causing more damage to your cells and tissues. Brittle bones and inelastic muscles are just some of the innumerable side effects of smoking.
Stem Cell Injection to the Rescue!
Stem cell injection is a non-invasive procedure that prevents the patient from going through a major surgery. It can be performed within a day and it gives hope to patients who are seeking alternative medication to joint replacement. Patients that have undergone stem cell injection for arthritis report that they are able to return to their normal daily activities after a short period of time. Rehabilitation period is not too long and success rate is also high.
How does stem cell injection work?
Modern technology and advanced medicine allow doctors to withdraw healthy stem cells from the patient’s own bone marrow or from a donor’s. These stem cells undergo laboratory process and will be re-injected into the areas where there are injured tissues. Ultrasound and fluoroscopy help doctors determine if the new cells are being introduced to the right areas. It won’t take time for the new stem cells to help the arthritic joints in healing and regenerating themselves.
Are you a candidate for stem cell injection?
The best way to determine your condition is to visit a physician for a check-up. The doctor will help you decide which kind of medical procedure is best suited for you. Diagnosis is really an important step.
