How to Treat Ankle Arthritis with Regenerative Cell Treatment?

 Don’t let this constant severe ankle pain due to arthritis hinder you from doing your routine activities? If your physician says medication and surgery are the only treatment options for ankle arthritis, hold on! Medica Stem Cells therapy in the UK may help in healing the ankle arthritis naturally by itself. Let us first understand the causes and symptoms of the ankle arthritis and see how regenerative cell treatment can be the right surgical alternative.

What is ankle arthritis?


Treatment of ankle arthritis

Ankle arthritis occurs at the joint that connects the tibia (shin bone of the leg), and the talus (above the heel bone) called the tibiotalar joint. Ankle arthritis pain emerges at this point in your ankle. It greatly affects your quality of life by hindering your mobility.   

Ankle osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the articular cartilage helps in providing a cushion between the bones of the talocrural joint, starts to degenerate gradually. It will decrease the space between the joints causing more friction.

Ankle osteoarthritis may also occur in old age due to wear and tear of the cartilage from overuse. Osteoarthritis may also develop from a previous injury to the ankle that may damage the cartilage directly, leading to its gradual degradation indirectly.

The symptoms of ankle arthritis include pain, inflammation, and stiffness in one or group of small joints in the foot and ankle. This recurrent friction between the bones due to degraded cartilage leads to restricted flexibility and irritable swelling of the joints.

Treatment of ankle arthritis 

The conventional treatment methods, including R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice therapy, Compression, and Elevation) formula, mostly focus on treating the symptoms of the disease only. Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and corticosteroid injections reduce pain and inflammation. But they develop many side effects on being used for a longer period. Removing the damaged cartilage by surgery is the last resort. But it is painful and invasive. It does not restore the damaged cartilage or tissues. Hence, all these methods are considered as temporary.

Regenerative cell treatment

When it comes to regenerative cell therapy, it treats the symptoms and cures the disease at the damaged site. It enhances the healing mechanism at the site of damaged tissues and reduces the symptoms such as pain and inflammation. This non-surgical method is minimally invasive involving only local anaesthesia.

 Regenerative cell treatment for ankle arthritis includes Platelet Rich Plasma (P.R.P.) therapy that involves injecting platelets from the patient’s own blood to enhance the healing mechanism. Another treatment for ankle arthritis includes Medica Stem Cells therapy in the UK. Here, the cells are harvested from your own body and are injected at the site of damage. These cells grow and differentiate into specific types of cells required at the damaged site.

Compared to conventional methods, the regenerative cell therapy has no risks of rejection, infection, or an allergic reaction. It is because the physician uses cells from the patient’s own body. Hence, this regenerative treatment is safe, and patients can return to regular activity much faster.

Lab-Grown Blood Stem Cells Produced at Last

By
After 20 years of trying, scientists have transformed mature cells into primordial blood cells that regenerate themselves and the components of blood. The work, described today in Nature, offers hope to people with leukaemia and other blood disorders who need bone-marrow transplants but can’t find a compatible donor. If the findings translate into the clinic, these patients could receive lab-grown versions of their own healthy cells. One team, led by stem-cell biologist George Daley of Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts, created human cells that act like blood stem cells, although they are not identical to those found in nature. A second team, led by stem-cell biologist Shahin Rafii of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, turned mature cells from mice into fully fledged blood stem cells. “For many years, people have figured out parts of this recipe, but they’ve never quite gotten there,” says Mick Bhatia, a stem-cell researcher at McMaster University i...

Mesentery: New organ discovered inside human body by scientists

By
A new organ has been discovered hiding in plain sight inside the  human body . Known as the mesentery, it was previously thought to be just a few fragmented structures in the digestive system. But scientists have realised it is in fact one, continuous organ.  Although its function is still unclear, the discovery opens up “a whole new area of science,” according to J Calvin Coffey, a researcher at the  University Hospital Limerick  who first discovered it.  "When we approach it like every other organ… we can categorise abdominal disease in terms of this organ," he said.   “Now we have established anatomy and the structure. The next step is the function. If you understand the function you can identify abnormal function, and then you have disease.  “Put them all together and you have the field of mesenteric science.” The research has been published in  The Lancet   medical journa...

Your Guide to Stem Cell Therapy

By
  Stem cells are quite a boon for the mankind’s welfare. Surely many of you may have come across the benefits and challenges in stem cell therapy ; while some may not. I know many thousands of people are curious to know more about this transforming therapy and likewise they look on to google, the internet basically. I’ll try my best in delivering what’s needed – factual and trustworthy information. Please note that I am not trying to sell you anything nor am I a physician. Trained physicians and doctors are the best sources to get medical advice from. Always consult them because it’s better to be safe than sorry. While we get into it, your support is very much appreciated and we are delighted to help you anytime. Stem cells are cells found in our body just like other cells; what sets them apart is their ability of regenerate and differentiation. Regeneration is the ability of the cell to renew itself after cell division or injury. The later is the ability to specialize in a gener...
