Osteoarthritis treatment encompasses a range of medical interventions designed to manage the symptoms of OA, slow its progression, and improve joint function. These treatments can be broadly categorized into non-surgical and surgical options. At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we focus on non-surgical, regenerative treatments that harness the body’s natural healing processes. Our primary treatments include:
The benefits of osteoarthritis treatment at Everest Regenerative Medicine are numerous and can significantly enhance the quality of life for our patients. Here are some key advantages:
One of the primary goals of osteoarthritis treatment is to alleviate pain. Both stem cell therapy and PRP therapy have been shown to reduce pain in affected joints, allowing patients to perform daily activities with greater ease.
By reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration, our treatments can help improve joint function and mobility. This enables patients to move more freely and engage in physical activities they may have previously avoided.
Our regenerative treatments are minimally invasive, meaning they involve fewer risks and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical options. This allows patients to return to their normal routines more quickly.
At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we tailor our treatments to each patient’s unique needs and condition. This personalized approach ensures that our patients receive the most effective care possible.
Our treatments aim to address the root cause of osteoarthritis symptoms, potentially reducing the need for long-term use of pain medications and their associated side effects.
Osteoarthritis treatment at Everest Regenerative Medicine is suitable for a wide range of individuals experiencing joint pain and stiffness due to osteoarthritis. Here are some factors that may indicate you are a good candidate for our treatments:
While our primary focus is on osteoarthritis, the regenerative treatments offered at Everest Regenerative Medicine can also address a variety of other conditions, including:
Before seeking professional care, there are several steps you can take at home to manage osteoarthritis symptoms:
Engaging in low-impact exercises, such as swimming, walking, or cycling, can help maintain joint function and reduce stiffness. Strengthening the muscles around the affected joint can also provide additional support.
Excess weight can place additional stress on weight-bearing joints, exacerbating osteoarthritis symptoms. Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise can help alleviate this pressure.
Applying heat or cold to the affected joint can help reduce pain and inflammation. Use a heating pad or warm towel for heat therapy, and an ice pack for cold therapy.
Non-prescription pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can help manage pain and reduce inflammation.
Maintaining proper posture can help reduce strain on your joints. Be mindful of your posture when sitting, standing, and lifting objects.
At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we follow a comprehensive process to determine if you are a candidate for our osteoarthritis treatments:
During your initial consultation, our experienced providers will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and conduct a physical examination to assess the affected joint.
We may use diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to get a detailed view of the joint and assess the extent of the damage.
Based on the findings from your consultation and diagnostic imaging, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and condition.
Once your treatment plan is established, our skilled providers will administer the selected regenerative treatment, whether it be stem cell therapy or PRP therapy, in a minimally invasive procedure.
We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, assess the effectiveness of the treatment, and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan.
