A 2019 study published in the Journal of Rheumatology estimates that demand for total knee replacement surgeries will jump to over 1.2 million annually by 2025, even though a 2014 paper determined years earlier that up to 34% of procedures like these are “inappropriate” or unnecessary for patients given their symptoms. This startling discrepancy, along with promising advancements in alternative treatment options, has led more people than ever to seek interventions like regenerative medicine for their discomfort. What is stem cell therapy, and can you count on it to relieve your knee pain for good?
The Ultimate in Regenerative Therapy
The slick cartilage in the knee is one of the most important tissues for fluid, cushioned movement in the joint, but because of a lack of blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels, self-healing is slow and very limited. Over time, this cartilage breaks down, which leads to osteoarthritis and pain. GenStem is built around the idea of regenerating new, healthy tissue in the joint using the adult stem cells already existing in your body. These are the cells that naturally heal injuries in the body and have the ability to renew themselves and turn into other cells. GenStem works by guiding a concentration of these powerful cells directly into the injured areas, reducing inflammation, nourishing the joint, and accelerating healing.
The Role of Inflammation
When we experience an injury, be it acute or chronic, the body uses inflammation as a powerful tool to protect us and to facilitate healing. Inflammation accomplishes a number of tasks, from isolating a toxin (like the venom of a bee sting), discouraging movement to minimize damage (like a swollen ankle sprain), and encouraging the body to begin the healing process. Unfortunately, in some instances, the inflammation process fails to progress, and not only perpetuates pain but prevents the body from clearing and healing an injury site. One of the most important things you can do to permanently reduce pain and create a healing environment in the body is to promote a reduction in inflammation, and GenStem stem cell therapy does just that.
