Osteoarthritis: Renew Joint Health and Restore Comfort with Regenerative Medicine

Osteoarthritis treatments harness regenerative medicine to renew joint health, reduce pain, and restore comfort and mobility.

What Is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, often described as “wear-and-tear” arthritis. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones gradually breaks down, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
But osteoarthritis isn’t just about aging or overuse—it’s a whole-joint condition that affects bone, cartilage, ligaments, and surrounding tissue. Inflammation, poor circulation, and cellular degeneration all contribute to its progression.

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we view osteoarthritis through a regenerative lens. Instead of simply managing pain, we focus on restoring the joint’s natural healing potential—reducing inflammation, improving tissue health, and rebuilding resilience from the inside out. Our treatments combine science-backed regenerative therapies with personalized care, helping patients move comfortably again without surgery or long-term dependency on medications.

What Causes Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis develops when the balance between cartilage breakdown and repair becomes disrupted. Over time, the cartilage wears away, and bones begin to rub together, triggering inflammation and stiffness. The most common causes include:

Chronic inflammation

Systemic inflammation damages joint tissue and slows repair.

Hormonal imbalance

Lower hormone levels (especially after menopause) may impair cartilage maintenance.

Genetic predisposition

Family history can influence cartilage quality and joint shape.

Age-related wear and tear

Cartilage naturally loses elasticity and hydration with time.

Joint injury or trauma

Previous injuries accelerate joint degeneration.

Repetitive stress or overuse

High-impact activities or occupational strain increase cartilage breakdown.

Obesity or metabolic dysfunction

Excess weight increases pressure on joints and promotes inflammation.

At Everest, we don’t stop at identifying cartilage damage. We look deeper—assessing inflammatory markers, circulation, hormone balance, and biomechanics—to target the true source of degeneration.

What Symptoms Will I Experience with Osteoarthritis?

The joints most commonly affected include the knees, hips, spine, hands, and shoulders. Over time, untreated OA can limit independence and overall quality of life—but regenerative care offers new possibilities for relief and renewal.

Osteoarthritis symptoms tend to develop gradually and may worsen over time. Pain often fluctuates with activity level, weather changes, or inflammation cycles. Common symptoms include:

Aching or sharp joint pain, especially after activity

Stiffness, particularly in the morning or after periods of rest

Tenderness or swelling around affected joints

Reduced range of motion

Grinding or creaking sensations (crepitus) during movement

Weakness or instability in the joint

Deformity in severe cases, due to cartilage loss or bone spurs

What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Osteoarthritis?

If your osteoarthritis symptoms are mild or recently developed, there are several at-home steps you can take to manage discomfort and support joint health:

Stay active—but low impact

Engage in gentle activities like walking, swimming, or cycling to keep joints flexible.

Stretch regularly

Gentle range-of-motion exercises improve lubrication and reduce stiffness.

Maintain a healthy weight

Reducing excess load on weight-bearing joints helps slow cartilage wear.

Apply heat and cold therapy

Heat soothes stiffness; cold reduces inflammation after activity.

Eat an anti-inflammatory diet

Focus on omega-3s, antioxidants, lean proteins, and collagen-building nutrients.

Use joint support devices

Braces, wraps, or cushioned footwear can relieve pressure.

Avoid prolonged sitting or inactivity

Movement keeps joint fluid circulating and prevents stiffness.

While these lifestyle adjustments can help, they don’t reverse joint degeneration. For long-term results, regenerative medicine can help restore function and slow progression naturally.

Best Treatment Options for Osteoarthritis

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we specialize in non-surgical, science-backed regenerative therapies that stimulate healing and rebuild joint tissue. Our approach focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring mobility, and improving the structural health of your joints.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP uses your own blood plasma, rich in growth factors, to stimulate cartilage repair, reduce inflammation, and improve joint lubrication. It’s one of the most researched and effective regenerative treatments for osteoarthritis.

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are tiny cellular messengers that direct tissue repair and regeneration. They enhance communication between cells, reduce inflammation, and promote new collagen and cartilage growth.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone improves oxygen utilization and blood flow in joints, helping to reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, both key factors in osteoarthritis progression.

Peptide Therapy

Specific peptides, such as BPC-157 and TB-500, help the body regenerate damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and strengthen tendons and ligaments that support the joint.

Hormone and Nutrient Optimization

We evaluate and balance hormones that impact healing (like testosterone, estrogen, and thyroid hormones) and ensure optimal levels of key nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, and collagen precursors.

Functional Rehabilitation

Once inflammation is reduced, our team provides personalized exercises to restore mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and prevent re-injury.

Each treatment plan at Everest is custom-tailored to your body’s unique biology, lifestyle, and goals—helping you not only feel better but move better.

Our Process for Treating Osteoarthritis

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we believe healing is a partnership. Our process integrates advanced science with personalized care at every step.

Comprehensive Consultation & Listening

We begin with an in-depth discussion of your pain history, lifestyle, and health goals. You’re more than a symptom—you’re a whole person.

Detailed Evaluation & Diagnosis

Our providers assess joint health, biomechanics, and systemic factors. Imaging or lab testing may be used to confirm the extent of degeneration and inflammation.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your results, we design a customized regenerative plan using PRP, exosomes, peptides, or other therapies suited to your condition.

Precise, Minimally Invasive Procedures

Treatments are performed in-office, with minimal discomfort or downtime—allowing for quick recovery and safe, natural healing.

Rehabilitation & Recovery Support

We provide movement guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and follow-up care to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.

Long-Term Monitoring & Prevention

Our care continues beyond your treatment. We track your progress, optimize your plan, and help you sustain joint health for years to come.

At Everest, the goal isn’t just less pain—it’s renewed strength, flexibility, and vitality.

Osteoarthritis may be common, but living with pain doesn’t have to be your reality. Through regenerative medicine, your body can heal and rebuild naturally—restoring movement, reducing inflammation, and improving your quality of life.

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we combine innovation with compassion to help you restore, rejuvenate, and elevate your joint health. Whether you’re seeking relief from knee, hip, or hand arthritis, our personalized, science-based approach can help you move freely again—without surgery or long-term medication.
