What is Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones gradually wears down, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. OA is often referred to as a “wear-and-tear” disease, but it also involves joint inflammation and changes in the surrounding bone and soft tissues.

Osteoarthritis can affect any joint, but it most commonly occurs in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. It develops slowly over time and is more prevalent in older adults, though younger individuals can also be affected due to joint injuries or genetics.

What Are the Symptoms?

The symptoms of osteoarthritis typically worsen over time and may include:

Persistent joint pain

Stiffness

Swelling

Grinding or cracking sensation

Reduced range of motion or flexibility

Joint tenderness and instability

Current Treatments
for Osteoarthritis

While there is no cure for osteoarthritis, several treatments can effectively manage symptoms and slow its progression:

Medications: Pain relievers (acetaminophen), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and topical analgesics.
Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises to strengthen muscles, improve joint stability, and increase flexibility.
Weight Management: Reducing body weight helps alleviate stress on weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees.
Joint Injections: Corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid injections can reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief.
Assistive Devices: Braces, canes, or orthotics to support joint function and reduce strain.
Surgical Options: Joint replacement (e.g., knee or hip) is considered for severe cases unresponsive to other treatments.

What Are the Outcomes?

The outlook for individuals with osteoarthritis varies depending on the severity of the condition and the effectiveness of treatment. With proper management, many people can maintain an active lifestyle and reduce the frequency and intensity of symptoms. Early intervention, physical activity, and a healthy weight can significantly improve long-term outcomes and delay the need for surgical intervention.

Stem Cell Therapy for Osteoarthritis

Stem cell therapy is an emerging and innovative option for treating osteoarthritis, especially in cases where conventional treatments are no longer effective. It involves the injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)—typically sourced from the patient’s bone marrow or adipose tissue—into the affected joint.

Potential benefits include:

Reduces joint inflammation and pain
Promotes cartilage repair and regeneration
May delay or avoid joint replacement surgery
Improves joint mobility and function

Although still considered experimental, early research and clinical trials show promising results. Stem cell therapy is currently available through select clinics and research institutions, and patients should consult with qualified medical providers to assess suitability and risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this FDA-approved?

Stem cell therapies using ethically sourced regenerative cells are regulated under strict guidelines by the FDA. While certain applications have explicit FDA approval, others are administered under FDA guidelines as investigational therapies, complying fully with regulatory standards to ensure safety and quality.

What are the risks or side effects?

Stem cell therapy is generally safe with minimal risk. Common mild side effects can include temporary soreness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection site. Rarely, more serious complications such as infections or allergic reactions can occur. Our medical team thoroughly evaluates each patient to minimize these risks.

How long until I feel results?

Patients often notice initial improvements within days to weeks, with more substantial benefits progressively occurring over the following months as the regenerative process continues. Individual experiences can vary depending on the condition's severity and personal health factors.

How many sessions are required?

Many patients experience significant improvements after a single session. However, depending on individual conditions and response to treatment, additional sessions may be recommended to maximize outcomes. Our specialists provide personalized recommendations during your consultation.

Is this covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage varies depending on the specific policy and condition being treated. While regenerative therapies are not universally covered, some plans offer partial or full coverage. Our administrative team will assist you in verifying insurance coverage and exploring financial options to support your treatment.
