Osteoarthritis treatment encompasses a range of medical interventions designed to alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis, such as pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness, while improving joint function. These treatments can be categorized into non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and surgical options. At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we focus on regenerative treatments like stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. These advanced procedures aim to repair and regenerate damaged tissues, providing a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods.
One of the primary benefits of osteoarthritis treatment is pain relief. Regenerative treatments like stem cell therapy and PRP injections can significantly reduce joint pain by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.
Osteoarthritis often leads to reduced joint mobility, making everyday activities challenging. Effective treatment can restore joint function, allowing patients to move more freely and engage in physical activities they enjoy.
Inflammation is a key contributor to the discomfort associated with osteoarthritis. Regenerative treatments help to decrease inflammation, which in turn reduces pain and swelling.
By alleviating pain and improving mobility, osteoarthritis treatment enhances overall quality of life. Patients can return to their daily routines and enjoy a more active lifestyle.
Regenerative treatments offered at Everest Regenerative Medicine are minimally invasive, reducing the risks and recovery times associated with traditional surgical procedures.
Osteoarthritis treatment is suitable for individuals experiencing joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility due to osteoarthritis. It is particularly beneficial for those who have not found relief from conventional treatments like medications or physical therapy. Candidates for regenerative treatments typically include:
Osteoarthritis treatment is primarily aimed at managing osteoarthritis, but it can also address related conditions, including:
Before seeking professional treatment, there are several home remedies and lifestyle changes you can try to manage osteoarthritis symptoms:
Regular, low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, and cycling can help maintain joint mobility and reduce pain.
Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the stress on weight-bearing joints, alleviating pain and slowing the progression of osteoarthritis.
Applying heat or cold packs to affected joints can provide temporary pain relief and reduce inflammation.
Non-prescription pain relievers like acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help manage pain and inflammation.
Engaging in physical therapy exercises can strengthen the muscles around the affected joints, improving stability and reducing pain.
At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we follow a comprehensive process to determine if you are a candidate for osteoarthritis treatment:
During your initial consultation, our healthcare providers will review your medical history, symptoms, and previous treatments. This helps us understand your condition and identify the most suitable treatment options.
A thorough physical examination of the affected joints will be conducted to assess pain, mobility, and any signs of inflammation.
Diagnostic imaging techniques such as X-rays or MRI scans may be used to evaluate the extent of joint damage and confirm the diagnosis of osteoarthritis.
Based on the findings from the consultation, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include regenerative treatments like stem cell therapy or PRP injections.
After initiating treatment, we will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Our goal is to ensure optimal outcomes and improve your quality of life.
