Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy for Joint Pain Relief

In orthopaedics, stem cells are obtained from four sources: bone marrow, blood, fat, and synovium. These cells—especially those from bone marrow—are used to regenerate injured cartilage, muscles, and ligaments. Stem cell therapy for joint pain has shown promising results, particularly in patients wanting to avoid surgery or who are unfit for surgical procedures. Athletes and sportspersons who prefer to return to sports early and want less invasive procedures often choose stem cells for repair and healing of ligament and muscle injuries rather than replacing them. Dr. Ajay Thakur, recognized as one of the best stem cell doctors in Hyderabad, offers this advanced regenerative treatment as an effective alternative to traditional surgery.

What Are The Available Stem Cell Treatment Methods ?

Two main types of treatments are utilized presently in orthopaedics, PrP & BMAC injections.

PRP (platelet rich plasma)

Platelet rich plasma is used in the form of an injection. It is separated from blood and is then injected at the site of injury or joint. It contains many growth factors and stem cells that help in repair.

BMAC (bone marrow aspirate concentrate)

Bone marrow is aspirated from bone and subjected to cell concentration procedure. It is then injected at the site of injury for healing.

What Is Image Guided Injections ?

Intra-articular joint injections can be ‘guided’ or ‘routed’ with the help of x-rays, CT scans or Ultrasound, such office procedures are called ‘image-guided’ injections. The imaging modality will help us locate the needed and guide us to the correct spot.

What Are The Advantages Of Image-Guided Injections ?

Image-guidance helps to improve the accuracy and therefore efficiency of intra-articular and other injections. By avoiding medicine at wrong spots, it also helps in preventing complications due to extravasation of medicine. It helps prevent damage to adjacent nerves and vessels.

What Conditions Can Be Effectively Managed By Image-Guided Injections ?

Ultrasound helps to reliably visualize soft-tissues like muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves and also helps to identify any pathological changes in these structures. The following conditions are commonly treated by ultrasound guided injections :

• Tennis elbow and Golfer’s elbow.
• Achillis tendinopathy.
• Impingement syndrome and frozen shoulder.
• Trigger finger and Dequervains’ disease.
• Plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spurs.
• Intra-articular injections in shoulder, knee, ankle, elbow, wrists, hip and spine.
