Knee Pain Treated with Regenerative Medicine

Like any mechanical hinge, when the joints in our bodies are damaged, it hinders their ability to move and flex. This is especially true of the knee. Human knees are unusually dense and there is little mechanical tolerance between moving bones to sustain structural damage. Also, because our knees must support the vast majority of our weight, they must work much harder than most other joints of the body. For all of these reasons, and more, knees are slow to heal and prone to developing long term, chronic pain conditions.

Fortunately, regenerative medicine has made extraordinary advancements in recent years, enabling regenerative medicine specialists to achieve positive medical outcomes that would have been impossible twenty years ago, and in surprisingly short amounts of time.

Myrtle Beach Treatment for Knee Pain

Here at Advanced Medical Solutions in Myrtle Beach, SC, we specialize in regenerative medical treatments for knee injuries that would have been debilitating less than a decade ago.

Through injury, use, disease, and age, our knee joints inevitably break down. As we age, our ability to heal slowly decreases. Regenerative medicine is composed of a range of techniques that tap into the body’s latent healing abilities and bring them back to life.

Regenerative medicine works by accessing platelets. In newborns, these cells are plentiful throughout the body, but as we age, our remaining regenerative, undifferentiated cells exist in small numbers in tissues throughout the adult body. However, they are most prevalent in the bone marrow.

By accessing these cells and injecting them into the site of an injury or illness, patients can experience healing and regeneration far beyond what the body would normally be able to deliver. In some cases, adult cells can be altered in order to exhibit enhanced regeneration.

The regenerative medicine experts at Advanced Medical Solutions are able to successfully treat a wide range of sports injuries, age-related musculoskeletal conditions, and more. However, we have been especially pleased with the ability of these techniques to treat normally stubborn knee injuries.
