What is Knee Osteoarthritis ?
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage cushioning the knee joint gradually wears away, leading to pain and reduced mobility. It occurs when the cartilage, the smooth tissue that cushions the ends of the bones in the knee joint, breaks down over time. This leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility in the knee.
Symptoms & Signs
Why it Happens?
Factors include aging, joint injury, repetitive stress on the knee, obesity, and genetic predisposition.
Treat Knee Osteoarthritis without Surgery
Regenexx offers non-surgical treatments utilizing your body's own healing agents to address knee OA. These procedures aim to reduce pain and improve function, potentially delaying or eliminating the need for surgery.
01. Super Concentrated Platelets (SCP)
Harnessing the power of your own blood, Super Concentrated Platelets (SCP) represent the next generation of natural healing technology. This advanced regenerative treatment is designed to accelerate your body’s repair process using concentrated platelets and platelet lysate is injectate of released growth factors from the platlets.
- SCP and Platelet Lysate harness the healing growth factors from your blood to enhance natural repair.
- Platelet injections stimulate repair cells to amplify healing.
- Procedures use high-level imaging for precise cell injections.
- More concentrated and effective than any other PRP available in the world.
02. Mesenchymal Cells
Mesenchymal cells, also known as regenerative cells, are a cutting-edge solution in regenerative orthopedics. By leveraging the body’s own ability to heal, this treatment works at the cellular level to repair tissue, reduce pain, and restore function without surgery.
- Bone marrow contains repair cells for healing.
- Harvests and concentrates cells from the hip, joint injecting them into the injury with advanced imaging guidance.
- Procedure aims to reduce pain and improve function by enhancing and triggering the body’s inherent healing mechanism.
- Standard Protocol treats various orthopedic conditions.
