Treating Arthritis with Your Own Healing Kit: YOUR STEM CELLS
If you feel pain and stiffness in your body or have trouble with movement, you might have arthritis. Arthritis is very common but is not well understood. Actually, “arthritis” is not a single disease; it refers to joint pain or joint disease. Joints are places where two bones meet, such as the elbow or knee. Over time, a swollen joint may become severely damaged. People of all ages can and do have arthritis. It is most common among women and occurs more frequently as people get older.
| Women who are peri menopausal are more susceptible to suffer from Arthritis due to hormonal changes and reducing estrogen levels, especially in the knees. |
Common arthritis joint symptoms include swelling, pain, stiffness, redness and decreased range of motion. Symptoms may vary from mild to moderate to severe. They may stay about the same for years, but may progress or get worse over time. Severe arthritis would result in chronic pain, inability to carry out regular activities, making it difficult to walk or climb stairs. Arthritis may cause permanent joint changes which are visible, such as knobby finger joints, but often the damage can only be seen on X-ray. Some types of arthritis also affect the heart, eyes, lungs, kidneys and skin as well.
Osteoarthritis
The most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis involves wear-and-tear that damages the thick coating on the joint ends, called cartilage. Enough damage can result in bone grinding which causes pain and restricts movement. This can occur over many years, or it can be hastened by a joint injury or infection.

Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis happens when the body’s own defence system doesn’t work properly. It affects joints and bones, attacking the synovial membrane which is the lining of the joint capsule, often destroying the cartilage and bone within the joint. It could also affect internal organs and systems. You may feel sick or tired, and you may have a fever.

Treatment varies depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Physical examination, laboratory tests and various Imaging tests can determine the type of arthritis. You may need to try several different treatments, or combinations of treatments, before you determine what works best for you.
Utilizing your Own Stem Cells to Help the Healing Process of Degenerating Joints
Stem cells have long been heralded as the possible answer to a number of medical conditions, including arthritis. When tissues are injured, the degenerative process exceeds the rate of new cell formation, resulting in structures become weaker, painful and less functional.
The human body keeps a supply of stem cells available to help repair injured and degenerated tissues at all times. Adult stem cells can renew themselves and turn into other cells and leap into action to repair damage as it occurs. As we age or have big injuries, we may not be able to recruit enough of these cells to the site to fully repair the area. We can retrieve these cells for their therapeutic and natural healing properties.
Stem cells have anti-inflammatory and regenerative capacities. They have been shown to reduce the immune system response, inhibit inflammation, stimulate blood vessel formation, repair tissue and help transplanted stem cells to engraft and enhance new cartilage formation.
Stem cells derived from our own body are segregated by robotic machines and are infused back into the body via intra articular injections or peripheral IV infusion. Activated platelets and various growth factors added to the stem cells help in the healing of soft tissues like tendons and ligaments. They are also responsible for pain reduction and give significant symptomatic relief.
Stem cell therapy is also beneficial in cases of Juvenile Arthritis, where children are too young to undergo major surgery. This line of therapy is also known to reduce the need of various types of joint replacement surgery.
Treatment at Cell Gen Anti Ageing Center focuses on:
- Reducing pain
- Improving mobility and joint function
- Slowing degeneration and progression of the disease
- Regenerating cartilage and synovial fluid and membrane.
