Knee pain is one of the most common types of joint pain, and it can also be incredibly disruptive to normal daily routines. Your knees may be a part of your body you don’t spend much time thinking about, but they are a critical part of your everyday life.
Not only do your knees enable mobility, but they also absorb a great deal of shock as you walk, run, climb, and bend. When you consider all the tasks your knees perform each and every day, it’s a wonder knee pain isn’t more common.
Some of the issues that lead to knee pain include:
This is far from a comprehensive list. Anything that damages the bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, nerves, or other tissues in your knee joint can cause significant knee pain.
If you’re looking for treatments that not only address knee pain but work to repair damage within the joint itself, regenerative medicine treatments are worth consideration. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections deliver growth proteins into the joint, where they stimulate new cell growth.
Mesenchymal cells injections also boost your natural healing abilities. These cells hasten the growth of new tissues which in turn repair existing damage. Mesenchymal cells injections also reduce inflammation. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) uses mesenchymal cells harvested from your bone marrow, while treatments like LipogemsⓇ use mesenchymal cells harvested from body fat.
When you’re ready to explore these and other knee pain treatments, call or schedule an appointment online with Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine.
