Regenerative Medicine: Why It Is the Best to Treat Arthritis

Dr. Stephen Beyer

2/21/2024

Arthritis is a common disease characterized by pain and inflammation in the joints. It often leads to difficulty in movement. There are two types of arthritis requiring special attention and medication.

The most reported type of arthritis is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cushioning cartilage in joints wears and tears, making the bones glide onto each other, causing much pain. Rheumatoid arthritis is another one caused by lifestyle changes. It exhibits through the inflammation of the lining of the joints.

While doctors recommend lifestyle and medication changes, more methods of managing and curing arthritis are under investigation. One of the new ways to treat arthritis is regenerative medicine.

Regenerative Treatment of Arthritis

All types of arthritis can use regenerative medicine to treat their condition. Regenerative medicine uses the body’s natural resources to heal itself. They include stem cells and platelets, among many others.

There are several ways to administer regenerative medicine in the treatment of arthritis.

Platelet-rich Plasma

  • This method involves separating platelets from other blood components. After the separation, the doctor injects the platelets into the damaged cells for recovery.

Autologous Conditioned Serum

  • This method involves blood processing to increase the serum components. The process comes before reintroducing it into specific areas.

Cartilage Repair and Restoration

  • This method involves replacing damaged tissue, often cartilage. The doctor replaces the tissue with a replenished one from another body part. Osteoarthritis arthritis uses this in its treatment and management. It is important to note that replaced cartilage is never the same quality as the original. This one offers quick relief to patients.

Stem Cells Regeneration

  • This treatment involves introducing specialized cells. The doctor introduces allograft stem cells to the damaged parts of the body. It focuses on joint pains. People suffering from rheumatoid arthritis use this form of regenerative medicine.

Benefits of Regenerative Medicine in Treating Arthritis

There are many benefits to using regenerative medicine in the treatment of arthritis. They include:

Lowers Invasive Treatment

Surgery has become the go-to method of correcting joint damage. It usually involves rigorous processes that take long to heal. Regenerative medicine offers better quality medication than surgery. It is because it uses a needle to introduce the regenerative tissue or cell to the body.

Minimal Tissue Rejection

The process involves using tissue from the same body to the damaged part, decreasing the chances of rejection.

Effective

Compared to other forms of treatments, regenerative medicine treatment is simple. It requires no blood loss and has reduced predisposition to infections. It also offers less recovery time.

It Is Safe to Use

The use of drugs is the most common way to treat conditions, and they usually have other side effects. The use of regenerative medicine does not lead to such complications. Regenerative medicine is the best method for treating and managing arthritis.

Consultation with Dr. Beyer was more than I expected ! Doctor answered questions thoroughly and then some . Very personable, professional and knowledgeable. I came in for information on Alpha 2 Macroglobulin treatment .Very new for osteoarthritis and other conditions with great results. He then sent me to Rachel to discuss the procedure. Even more information. I will be going forward with the A2M and stemcell after a meniscus repair. I hope to come back with excellent results and reviews!

We first met Dr Beyer years ago when our son was going through severe back issues. He still raves about how much Dr helped him! Years later I found him again and fast forward to present. I've been seeing Dr Beyer for my back issues for a long time now. Years!! It as times was unbearable. My pain has decreased immensely. I'm very happy with that for sure!! I recently tried the Regenerative Medicine portion of their practice. I had 2 PRP and 1 stem cell injection in my hip and it was given to me by Nurse Practioner Racheal who is wonderful! I was nervous but she really helped me understand everything she was doing, and was extremely comforting! I will say that my back and hip issues have greatly improved. I almost thought it was a miracle!! I still see Dr Beyer for maintenance monthly for my scoliosis. But I do recommend giving the stem cell a try. I am quite frankly amazed. Love the office atmosphere and the wonderful friendly staff that work there! Thank you all 😊 Maryanne
