Knee Pain

Stem cell therapy is a modern-day regenerative treatment that brings hope to millions of people suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) and knee pain. It is a non-invasive procedure that stimulates the growth of new tissues and the repair of damaged tissues. Injecting human umbilical cord tissue-derived (HUCT) mesenchymal stem cells directly into the knee joints promotes tissue healing and regeneration in the affected knee.

Stem cell therapy for knees and arthritis harnesses the joint’s natural ability to heal and is also considered a safer and less painful alternative to conventional knee replacement surgery. Studies show that stem cell treatment functions by triggering damaged tissues in the joint to repair themselves. This popular regenerative treatment aims to decrease inflammation in joints and reduce pain. It can prevent the need for painful knee replacement surgery in the elderly.

Although knee pain and arthritis are common in older people, sometimes young individuals also go through similar types of discomfort in the knee due to joint injuries. So, if you want to improve joint function and enjoy pain-free living, book a consultation with our stem cell specialist today.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis vary from person to person and also range from mild to severe depending on the patient’s age. The most prominent symptoms are knee pain and inflammation that can occur at a point in time and are also irregular. Some patients might experience no pain for a long interval. Other than pain, patients complain about stiffness, swelling, weakness, and creaking in the joints.

These symptoms hinder your ability to move freely because joints support the upper body and provide stability while you are in motion such as bending, walking, running, crouching, climbing, and jumping. If any bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or cartilage present in your joints get injured or damaged, it can cause pain and inflammation in your knees. There will be reduced range of motion and the problem gets worse when limiting your movement leads to ligament laxity and increased muscle wasting. As a consequence, your knees start losing their strength and stability.

Knee pain caused by osteoarthritis occurs primarily due to the biochemical breakdown of joint cartilage. Osteoarthritis can be categorized as primary and secondary based on their source of cause.

Primary Osteoarthritis – This is the most prevalent type caused by the wear and tear of tissues in the knee joints over time. It is usually linked to aging because age is the dominant attribute of OA. Hence, the longer a person lives, the longer the utilization of joints, and the higher the probability of acquiring osteoarthritis.

Secondary Osteoarthritis – This type of osteoarthritis is mainly influenced by external factors like joint abuse by severe trauma, existing ailments, inherent joint deformities, infection, and metabolic hardships. Not necessarily the symptoms of this type of OA can be observed in older people. Young individuals can also experience chronic knee pain due to these aforementioned reasons.

Severe and consistent knee pain can be due to the wear and tear of the cartilage in the joints resulting in inflammation. The cartilages are tissues that cover or cushion the bone ends. If they start deteriorating, the bones lose their outer protective covering and start rubbing against each other. This collision of bone ends causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints of your knees, ultimately limiting your mobility. The cause of deterioration of the cartilage can be due to various external and internal factors.

Heredity – The knee joint shape is determined by genes and if you have a family history of knee pain, you are more likely to develop this condition because of genetic inheritance after a certain age. Having weak and less resilient cartilage results in joint degeneration.

Injury – Injury or wounds add to the problem of knee pain because of joint abuse. Sports injuries are very common in athletes and can range from slight sprain to severe tear of cartilages and ligaments. Pain in the front of the knee is very common, often caused by overuse or inflammation of the tendon and cartilage around the kneecap.

Other Illness – Other existing ailments or health conditions can be the cause of osteoarthritis or knee pain in young individuals. For instance, the overburden of iron in the body, and excessive hormone secretion increase your possibility of OA.

Before we start our stem cell treatment for knees in Mexico, the completion of an application form is necessary which is aimed at understanding your reasons for seeking stem cell therapy. To assess your eligibility for the treatment and how it may benefit you, our experts require a comprehensive understanding of your health status.

We examine our patient’s symptoms by conducting physical examinations including X-rays. This helps us better understand the patient’s joint condition and the severity of the knee pain. Proper diagnosis of the cause of your knee pain is pivotal before planning the treatment process to ensure the best quality care and treatment.

Initially, we gather essential details such as your name, address, height, weight, and gender. Apart from this, we also get into the details of your health history to know whether you have any pre-existing conditions like cancer, diabetes, circulatory problems, neurological disorders, pulmonary complications, cardiovascular concerns, endocrinological conditions, gastrointestinal problems, and respiratory disorders.

In addition, we will inquire about any allergies, prior surgeries, experiences with chemotherapy, or any other medical information crucial for the treatment process. Furthermore, the application form will prompt you to provide insights into your dietary habits, as well as your consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or any type of nutritional supplement. The past medical records and test reports are reviewed by our medical team before approving the use of stem cells for knee pain in our institute.

Patients receiving stem cell treatment at Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute have reported improvement in their condition and an increase in their activity levels. Our treatment process promotes self-healing of the joint cartilage, increases the formation of blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and stimulates cartilage regeneration. The benefits of using stem cell therapy are as follows –

• The treatment procedure is quick and mostly gets completed within 5-6 days.
• Minimal recovery time and patients get back to their daily routine very soon.
• High-quality stem cells are selected from human umbilical cord blood donors based on their regenerative capabilities.
• Stem cell therapy ensures significant improvements in knee functions and relieves joint pain.

However, you need to understand that the benefits of stem cell therapy and treatment for chronic knee pain differ from one patient to another because various factors influence the outcome. Patients’ current medical condition, past health ailments, family histories, and extent of joint degeneration, are some of the major considerations that affect the treatment results.

The procedure of stem cell administration at Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment where umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells are injected directly into the knees or through intravenous or intra-muscular infusions by our specialist. After the process of stem cell administration is completed, our medical team provides supportive treatment such as physiotherapy to make our patients feel better.

The three common methods of administration of human umbilical cord tissue-derived allogeneic mesenchymal stem are –

• Intravenous (IV) – Intravenous, commonly referred to as IV, is a generally safe technique for administering stem cells throughout the body. This procedure is typically completed within 20 to 30 minutes.
• Intra-articular (IA) – Stem cells that are introduced directly into the joint are termed intra-articular administration or IA. This approach is frequently employed for treating arthritis.
• Intramuscular (IM) – Intramuscular administration, also referred to as IM, implies the direct injection of HUCT mesenchymal stem cells into muscle tissue.

The process of stem cell administration is very quick and we can see most of our patients up and walking in 4-5 days. Initially, there will be minor discomfort while making knee movements and patients might need assistance. Stem cell treatment for knees has been demonstrated to induce self-healing in patients with various forms of arthritis. It treats joint deformities and accelerates the healing process naturally by utilizing regenerative stem cells.

According to Researchers, apart from healing damaged tissues in joint cartilage, stem cells modulate the immune system of patients and improve the ability to fight off injuries and inflammation. The use of human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells for knee joint cartilage regeneration has shown great efficacy in most of our patients. After administration of stem cells to treat knee pain in an arthritic joint, the following results are expected to occur –

• Development of new cartilage cells and tissues in the knee joints.
• Suppressing joint inflammation which caused the knee pain.
• Proteins called Cytokines are released into the joints which slows down cartilage degeneration and reduces pain.

Although the patient satisfaction level for stem cell therapy for knee pain is high, one needs to understand that the effectiveness of our stem cell therapies is tied to myriad factors like patients’ age, medical histories, lifestyle, joint deterioration, and family history of joint disorders.
