Know why Cell Therapy is becoming a popular choice for Avascular Necrosis
20th December 2022
Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is a progressive condition in which bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply. This condition can be seen in areas like, ankle, knee, shoulder and mostly it affects hip joints causing hip pain.
1) Pain and stiffness near hip area
2) Swelling in the hip region
3) Limited movement or mobility
4) Difficulty while walking or limp walking
5) Inability to lean forward without additional support
Although, there can be other reasons for your hip pain too. Injuries such as bursitis, tendinitis, etc. Poor posture can also affect your hip badly and result in hip pain. Whether you are undergoing any treatment for your hip pain or not, you must not avoid self-care at home, for example, heat and cool pack, physiotherapy exercises, resting and more. Also avoid lifting heavy weights and intense workouts which can put tension on your hip area. The summary is to take sufficient rest and do physiotherapy exercises for a speedy recovery. Contact a doctor for your hip pain if the pain gets worse or doesn’t subside.
Stem Cell therapy or Bone cell therapy is an advanced medical treatment for dead tissue due to Avascular necrosis. In Bone cell therapy, patient’s own cells (autologous) are used to treat AVN permanently. AVN is a progressive condition and it gets worse with time. Bone cell therapy stops the progression of AVN and brings back hip mobility by regenerating your bone. The cells which are extracted from patient’s body are injected to the affected part to start the regeneration process. This brings back the hip mobility and treats the condition. This therapy is the most effective when implemented during the early 2 stages and for younger patients, even 3rd stage is not too late. In spite of this, older patients who are on the later stages of AVN have no choice but to opt for a hip replacement surgery.
Daniel Wiznia, MD, an Orthopedic surgeon at Yale School of Medicine has stated that, "This novel stem cell therapy has demonstrated improved pain and function, and the stem cells decreases the risk of the femoral head from collapsing. This translates into fewer young patients requiring hip replacements, and subsequent surgeries in their later years.”
According to Daniel Wiznia, Cell therapy can reduce the need of hip replacement surgery in patients by 10 per cent. Stem cells extracted from your own body will help in the regeneration of the bone and restore the blood flow, reversing the Avascular necrosis at any part.
It is a natural way of treating AVN through own cells.
It can be concluded that Bone cell therapy is one of the most efficient treatments out there for avascular necrosis treatment during the early stages. On the other hand, hip replacement surgery is an ideal option for older patients who are in the last stages of avascular necrosis.
Regrow Biosciences specialize in the treatment of AVN through Bone cell therapy. The Ossgrow therapy permanently cured patients suffering from Avascular Necrosis it is a natural treatment and has proven effective for AVN by halting the progression. Bone cell therapy is an advanced treatment that takes hip replacement surgery out of the picture (if diagnosed early)
