The Benfits of Using Stem Cells to Heal Knee Joints

stem cell therapyStem cells are perhaps the most exciting medical
technology of modern medicine and offer many benefits
over traditional surgical procedures. Stem cells take
advantage of the bodies ability to heal itself, they restore
degenerated tissue while simultaneously providing pain
relief. Stem cells can be useful for repairing knee joints,
specifically for patients with debilitating knee osteoarthritis.
For patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis treatment
options can be limited, knee replacement surgery is an
invasive daunting procedure that can have a recovery
period of anywhere from a few months to a year. Stem cell
therapy offers patients a much more time and cost effective alternative.

Stem cells are a great alternative to traditional knee
replacement surgery, a simple injection of stem cells in the
area of injury is way more cost and time effective than
using traditional knee surgery. Knee replacement surgery
comes with the added side effect of a 3100% increase in
heart attack risk for the two weeks after surgery.
Researchers have also found that the metal/plastic
replacement joint has been found to slowly shed particles
into the surrounding tissues after being used for long
periods of time. Patients that choose to use stem cell
induced therapies to repair their joints do not suffer from
either of these negative side effects.
Stem cells are the builders of the body, they are
primitive “unspecialized” cells that have the ability to grow
into any cell for any part of the body, whether that be liver
cells, muscle cells, blood cells, bone cells, etc. Having
your own knee tissue grow back is much better than
having a metal and plastic “joint” replacement because
actual bone and cartilage is much more reliable than a
metal and plastic joint that can shed particles into the
surrounding tissue. If you want a reliable, withstanding
alternative to traditional knee surgery, stem cell therapy is
right for you.
