Being overweight or having arthritis can severely damage your knee joints, making it difficult to walk. Your knees may also hurt in the morning when you wake up because they are stiff and hard to move. Fortunately, your knees as well as some of the other joints in your body can be restored to reduce pain and provide better mobility.
Joint Restoration
Instead of automatically recommending joint replacements or surgery for joint pain and the mobility problems it can cause, some doctors can use noninvasive methods for treating joints. With the use of stem cell therapies, some joints are able to be restored instead of replaced. Today, more and more clinics are offering therapies for knee restoration in Voorhees, NJ and other cities across the country.
Prolotherapy
Proliferative Therapy, more commonly known as prolotherapy, is being used for knee restoration instead of using knee replacements. The goal of this technique is to heal ligaments, tendons, and cartilage by using injections containing the patient’s’ stem cells and Platelet Rich Plasma to stimulate healing. While not everyone can benefit from this treatment, many people have experienced successful joint restoration using this technique.
Prolotherapy can not only help heal knee joints, it can also help with the following issues:
- Back pain caused by degenerative disc disease
- Hip pain
- Wrist and hand pain
- Neck pain
- Osteoarthritis
- Shoulder pain
If you are having joint pain, speak to your doctor about this technique and ask if you would be a good candidate for prolotherapy. Also, check out website for more information about joint restoration therapy.
Using this technique for knee restoration is less painful and promotes faster healing than joint replacement. So if your doctors have mentioned knee replacement before, ask them about prolotherapy. It has had success rates of 85% to 95% in studies, which is greater than some surgeries to repair or replace joints.
