Living with knee arthritis can make even the simplest daily tasks—like climbing stairs, walking around the block, or getting out of a chair—painful and frustrating.
Many patients are told that surgery or long-term medication are their only options for relief. But thanks to advances in regenerative medicine, there are now safe and effective non-surgical treatments that can help restore function and reduce pain at its source.
At Sidney Chiropractic, Dr. Schubert and his team provide regenerative medicine therapies like stem cell tissue injections and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to help patients with knee arthritis experience lasting relief without invasive procedures or dangerous reliance on medication.
Why Consider Non-Surgical Options?
Knee replacement surgery is often recommended for severe arthritis, but it’s a major operation that comes with risks, long recovery times, and months of rehabilitation. Even after surgery, some patients continue to experience stiffness or pain.
On the other hand, medications or cortisone shots may temporarily dull the pain, but they don’t address the underlying problem. Worse, they can mask symptoms and allow joint damage to progress.
Stem cell therapy and PRP therapy take a different approach—by stimulating your body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore function. These treatments are minimally invasive, require little to no downtime, and are designed to treat the cause of your knee pain, not just the symptoms.
How Stem Cell Therapy Works for Knee Arthritis
Stem cell therapy uses regenerative tissue sourced from Wharton’s Jelly, a rich material found in donated umbilical cords after healthy, scheduled C-sections. This tissue is ethically collected, and neither the mother nor baby is harmed.
Wharton’s Jelly is packed with healing components such as:
- Cytokines
- Exosomes
- Proteins and peptides
- Growth factors
- Hyaluronic acid
- Amino acids
When injected into arthritic knees, these regenerative cells communicate with your body’s existing cells to reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and encourage cartilage regeneration. The result is long-lasting relief and improved mobility, without the risks of surgery or the dependency of medications.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
In addition to stem cell therapy, PRP therapy offers another effective, drug-free treatment option for knee arthritis. PRP starts with a small sample of your own blood. This blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which contain potent healing properties.
When injected into the knee, these platelets signal the body to repair damaged tissues, produce collagen, and reduce inflammation. PRP is especially effective for mild to moderate arthritis, as well as ligament and tendon-related knee pain.
Benefits of Regenerative Medicine for Knee Pain
Patients with knee arthritis often turn to regenerative medicine because it offers:
- Non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime
- Relief that lasts by addressing the root cause of pain
- Reduced inflammation and improved joint function
- Little to no risk of rejection or side effects
- The potential to delay—or even avoid—the need for joint replacement surgery
Whether you are struggling with osteoarthritis, a meniscus tear, or cartilage damage, regenerative medicine offers a safe alternative to traditional approaches.
