What One Needs To Know About Natural Cartilage Regeneration

By Dr. Grazyna Pajunen


There has been some medical controversy over whether natural cartilage regeneration is possible. The general consensus is that the process is possible in children and teenagers who are still growing while in adults it is a slow process. In the adult stage, the cartilage has a limited supply of blood which limits the ability of the body to repair and regrow it. Fortunately, there are techniques available that can be used to facilitate the repair process.

Cartilage is an essential connective tissue found in the bones. The process of repair takes place at a slow rate in this tissue than in other tissues in the human body. An inadequate supply of nutrients to this tissue interferes with proper healing of wounds and injuries leading to damaged tissues. Inflammatory diseases and degenerative conditions are also major causes of complications.

The treatment methods that are commonly applied yield varied outcomes. There are patients who are completely treated while others are left struggling. Doctors can choose between two approaches for the treatment process. This includes surgical methods or extracting cells from certain body parts to implant them on the damaged part.

There are still medical experiments that are being performed. Growth hormones are being investigated for their ability to stimulate the production of cells. The healing ability of microfracturing performed by making minute hones around the affected area is another method being tested. To this end, the results obtained are very promising particularly in the treatment of the ankle and elbow. The ability of nanotubes to enhance tissue regeneration is also being studied.

There are medical experts who recommend the use of intraneural therapy. This therapy has been successful in treating arthritis. It focuses on the elimination of the causes of arthritis. The elimination of these causes allows the joints to enjoy a supply of oxygen and nutrients needed for healing and proper functioning. Ultimately, the therapy triggers the regeneration of the tissues.

Some of these conditions can be relieved through intraneural therapy. The sessions of this therapy are effective in the treatment of arthritis. It treats the specific cause of the condition at the joint and permits the joint to heal and function normally. Once the cause of this medical condition has been the removed the connective tissue gets a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients and is able to regenerate.

Health experts also recommend dietary and lifestyle adjustments in the management of this condition. Feeding on a well-balanced diet that is rich in vitamins can boost the repair and healing of wounds in the body. Vitamin is particularly important and van be combined with the numerous supplements available in the market.

Engaging in non- strenuous specialized exercise programs helps to improve the ability of the affected joints to move. This is effective in preventing cases of these joints becoming stiff and immobile. The continued research concerning natural cartilage regeneration has so far yielded critical information that is being applied in the treatment of this condition.
