Hip Pain
Hip pain is increasingly common among adults as we age, often resulting from various degenerative factors noted in medical literature. Conventional treatment options for hip pain are limited, which is why many are turning to regenerative medicine for relief.
Our goal is to educate hip pain sufferers on regenerative treatment options like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and adult stem cell therapy. These therapies can be derived from the patient’s own blood, adipose (fat), or juvenile mesenchymal stem cells. In some advanced cases, surgery may be the only option. However, regenerative therapies can also be used alongside surgical interventions to promote healing and improve recovery outcomes.
Inflammation
Injuries can lead to inflammation in areas where soft tissues, such as ligaments and tendons, attach to bone. This inflammation often results from mechanical injuries, the formation of bone spurs (osteophytes), or excess fluid in the hip joint. Swelling may be more noticeable after periods of inactivity.
Hip pain can make everyday activities like walking or climbing stairs challenging. The hip joint is a common site for chronic tissue degeneration, leading to moderate to severe pain. Many people with hip pain experience stiffness, swelling, and difficulty bending at the hip to perform routine tasks. In advanced cases, traditional surgery, such as partial or total hip replacement, may be necessary.
Bangkok Stem Cells offers a range of orthopaedic regenerative therapies designed to reduce inflammation and relieve pain using the body’s natural anti-inflammatory processes. These non-surgical options are safe, effective, and clinically proven to benefit many patients. While hip replacement surgery is sometimes required, regenerative therapies can also be used alongside surgery to accelerate healing and reduce scarring.
Arthritis
Hip arthritis, a common chronic degenerative condition, can make everyday tasks like walking and climbing stairs difficult. Arthritis in the hip often leads to moderate to severe pain, stiffness, and swelling, making it challenging to bend the hip and complete daily activities. For some, surgery becomes a final option, with partial or total hip replacements frequently recommended.
The most common form of hip arthritis is osteoarthritis, characterized by the progressive wearing of cartilage in the hip joint. After the age of 50, the impact of osteoarthritis often worsens, as cartilage continues to wear down with regular use and age.
As with many degenerative orthopaedic conditions, symptoms of hip arthritis tend to worsen over time. Common management approaches include weight loss, strengthening exercises, compression wraps, and medications like acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief.
Bangkok Stem Cells offers cell-based therapies that have provided relief to many patients suffering from hip osteoarthritis, helping them avoid the need for hip replacement surgery. While there is no cure for hip arthritis, a variety of treatment options are available to help manage pain and maintain an active lifestyle. Many patients have chosen regenerative therapies, including adult stem cells, PRP, or umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs), as a safe and effective alternative to surgery.
