Common Degenerative Joint Diseases
A degenerative joint disease refers to a condition that affects a particular joint in your body over a longer period of time.
The most common type of degenerative joint disease is osteoarthritis. With this condition, the cartilage that protects your joints gradually wears away, increasing pain, inflammation, and tenderness in the affected joint.
You can get osteoarthritis in any joint, but it’s most common in your hands, knees, and hips.
When it occurs in a weight-bearing joint, and the cartilage wears away completely, the bone will rub against bone, causing severe pain, limited range of motion, and limitations to your lifestyle.
Some other conditions that can be considered degenerative joint diseases include:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Spondyloarthritis
- Bursitis
- Lupus
- Gout
- Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Treatments For a Degenerative Joints
At our pain management clinic in Durham, our doctors offer treatments that can help all types of degenerative joint diseases. Our regenerative treatments, like human cellular tissue therapy and PRP therapy, help address the underlying cause of your pain and mobility issues, assisting your body in the healing process.
These treatments are safe and effective alternatives to both invasive surgical procedures and potentially risky pain medication. They are minimally invasive, consisting of basic injections into the damaged joint, and there is little to no downtime associated with either treatment. You also don’t have to worry about your body rejecting regenerative medicine treatments.
Human cellular tissue therapy contains potent and powerful healing compounds such as:
- Cytokines
- Growth factors
- Proteins
- Exosomes
- Hyaluronic acid
- Collagen
- Peptides
- Lipids
- Amino acids
We source this tissue from accredited tissue banks, and it is collected from donated umbilical cords after a healthy C-section birth.
The tissue is found in a substance called Wharton’s Jelly, and it is still youthful and vibrant, helping your body to facilitate the healing process.
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that also consists of injections into your damaged joint. This treatment starts when we take a sample of your blood and place it in a centrifuge.
As the blood sample spins, the red blood cells and platelets separate, This leaves highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma that has healing properties to help resolve the underlying cause of your joint pain.
Laser Therapy Treatment
Laser therapy is another treatment we use to help with degenerative joint disease. As joint conditions worsen over time, inflammation is a major factor in the level of pain and lack of mobility. Laser therapy can help stimulate cell regeneration. This reduces inflammation in affected joints to provide you with the non-surgical relief you need.
