Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease usually seen in elderly people where the cartilage tissue of the knee gets damaged and the synovial fluid (joint/ knee fluid) also gets dried up resulting in severe pain in the knee.
SYMPTOMS
There are many symptoms of this such as-
- Swelling in the knees
- Fluid in the knee area
- Grinding, creaking, clicking, popping, and another sound from the knee joint
- Can’t bend knees
But, due to today’s lifestyle, many young people are also complaining of the above symptoms or similar which is a sign of early origin of Osteoarthritis. It is also seen in some cases where there had been an injury in the knee area resulting in Osteoarthritis.
TREATMENT
- Initial treatment includes supplement medicines from any pain clinic which will produce new knee cartilage tissues and fluid.
- REGENERATIVE THERAPY which will produce new tissues from the existing old tissue
- How regenerative therapy is done
Blood is drawn from the patient’s body and undergoes stem cell therapy which will be injected inside the patient’s knee as a result of which the knee’s regeneration happens and the pain reduces to some extent.
- Autologous injections.
- Injections on the nerves surrounding the knee.
- RF ablation process where the nerves will be ablated and the pain gets reduced.
These injections are given without Anaesthesia and don’t have any side effects and can be given to people with Thyroid, Heart disease, Diabetes, or any other disease of any age and will make you pain-free.
