Osteoarthritis treatment encompasses a range of medical interventions aimed at managing the symptoms and progression of osteoarthritis. This degenerative joint disease results from the breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Treatment options vary from conservative approaches such as physical therapy and medications to more advanced techniques like regenerative medicine, which focuses on enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
One of the primary benefits of osteoarthritis treatment is significant pain relief. Effective management can reduce the discomfort associated with joint wear and tear, allowing patients to enjoy daily activities without constant pain.
Osteoarthritis often limits joint movement, making it challenging to perform everyday tasks. Treatment can restore joint function, improving flexibility and range of motion.
By addressing the symptoms of osteoarthritis, treatment can greatly enhance a patient’s overall quality of life. Reduced pain and improved mobility enable individuals to engage in physical activities and social interactions, fostering a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.
Certain treatments, especially those offered at Everest Regenerative Medicine, can slow the progression of osteoarthritis. Regenerative therapies like stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments can aid in repairing damaged tissues, potentially delaying the need for surgical interventions.
Effective treatment can reduce the reliance on pain medications, which often come with undesirable side effects. Regenerative medicine, in particular, offers a natural alternative to traditional pain management methods.

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we follow a thorough and personalized approach to determine if you are a suitable candidate for osteoarthritis treatment:
During your first visit, our specialists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history and symptoms. This helps us understand the severity of your condition and any previous treatments you have tried.
A detailed physical examination will be performed to assess joint function, range of motion, and areas of tenderness or swelling. This step is crucial in identifying the affected joints and the extent of degeneration.
We may recommend diagnostic imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound to get a clearer picture of the joint’s condition. These images help us evaluate the extent of cartilage loss and other structural changes.
Based on the findings from the initial consultation, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our approach may include a combination of regenerative therapies, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.
Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Our goal is to ensure you achieve the best possible outcomes and maintain an improved quality of life.
