If you are experiencing chronic, debilitating pain in your knee(s), you have likely tried a number of treatment options to obtain pain relief — ranging from over-the-counter and prescription medication to injections and physical therapy. Yet, if none of these have ever truly relieved your pain and discomfort, it can be extremely frustrating and affect your entire life.

The good news is that now there are modern, highly-effective treatment options to help you live a pain-free life. And the best thing about these options is that they are minimally invasive.

Why Knee Pain?

Knee pain is very common among people of all age groups. Whether you’ve suffered a serious injury on the field in the past, or it is age-related wear and tear, arthritis is a common diagnosis when patients complain of chronic pain in the knees. Some factors put you at a higher risk of degeneration of the knee and pain than others, such as playing high-contact sports, being overweight and jobs that cause repetitive trauma to the knee.

The knee joint performs a wide range of functions and movements every day. Once the knee begins to deteriorate, it is extremely difficult to restore normal cartilage function with traditional treatment options, like injections, physical therapy, and medications. Such options only treat the symptoms and not the root cause of knee pain. For example, steroid injections deliver strong anti-inflammatory medication to treat the pain associated with arthritis but they can’t restore damaged cartilage, which is the primary cause of knee pain..Similarly, hyaluronic acid injection tries to supplement the lubricating fluid in the joints but it is not a permanent solution and requires repeated doses.

Non-Surgical Regenerative Knee Treatment

Regenerative medicine offers an outpatient, non-surgical alternative to knee surgery.
One extremely effective option in regenerative medicine is the use of your body’s own Stem Cells, derived from the fat or adipose tissue. Stem cells possess the unique ability to repair and regenerate damaged and injured tissues.When these stem cells are derived from your own body’s tissues (such as aft tissue), they act as a more natural and permanent solution for many chronic conditions.

These mesenchymal stem cells can turn into the required cartilage cells and naturally repair the arthritic joint. Most patients are able to see some relief in the first 2 months, but the condition keeps improving gradually over 6-12 months.

The stem cell treatment procedure is a practical alternative to surgery or even a knee replacement–which are potentially risky procedures and can put you out of action for several weeks or months.
