Stems Cells and What They Can Do for Your Knees

Go Wellness Radio

Regan invites Annie Asher onto the show, to talk about arthritis in our knees. Our knees suffer from wear and tear over time, but arthritis typically comes to us in 3 stages. However, when it reaches to stage 4, that’s usually when you will feel pain. Many doctors will often prescribe ibuprofen to help with the pain, but that is not a long term solution! A stem cell treatment can greatly help reduce pain and get you back to living a normal life again.

Key Takeaways:

[1:10] Regan and Annie will be looking at X-rays. You can see the images on their YouTube channel. Link in the show notes.

[1:35] Arthritis in our knees comes in 3 stages.

[3:00] For some of us, we don’t even feel any pain during stage 3.

[3:45] If you’re knees ever get to stage 4, then that’s when you’re in trouble.

[5:10] Your doctor might tell you to take ibuprofen; well, that could actually accelerate your condition!

[6:00] Having pain is not a normal function of the body. Instead of masking it, you have to find ways to correct it.

[8:15] Knee replacements work about 50% of the time. However, 50% or more will often need additional surgery.

[10:50] Regan has seen significant improve with stem cell therapy.

[15:35] The New England Journal of Medicine conducted a study on a small group of patients who received knee surgery vs. those who did not. What results did they find a year later?

[17:50] The mind does play an important role in our recovery, but it gets left out of the equation, because it might sound a bit too ‘woo-woo’ for some.
