What causes chronic pain or joint degeneration?
Pain and limited range of motion are classic signs of aging, but that's not always the case. In fact, many factors contribute to these problems, including:
- Injury or trauma: A past injury, such as a sports injury, car accident, or fall, can cause tendon and ligament tears. Pain or discomfort will continue to worsen if not properly treated.
- Overuse: Overuse injuries are common among athletes and active individuals. Motions like throwing a baseball or swinging a golf club can cause wear and tear on the joints over time.
- Genetics: Some people are more prone to joint pain or cartilage damage due to inherited factors. For example, if your parents or grandparents had osteoarthritis, you may be at a higher risk for developing it as well.
- Lifestyle factors: Poor posture or improper form when exercising can put unnecessary strain on the body. Additionally, being overweight can put extra pressure on the joints and contribute to degeneration.
What is cellular therapy?
You may have heard the term before, but what is cellular therapy? When our body experiences an injury or damage, it relies on our own cellular mechanisms to recover properly. However, our bodies struggle to supply enough of these cells as we age. Cellular therapy involves injecting highly concentrated levels of your own cells into the affected area. This can help reduce unwanted pain and improve function.
How does Regenexx work?
Regenexx is a type of cellular therapy that delivers a high volume of growth factors and bone marrow into the injured area of the body. During a consultation, Dr. Lehman will evaluate your condition and determine your candidacy for Regenexx. If you are ready to undergo treatment, it can be completed in-office at our facility in Asheville, NC. We may recommend follow-up treatments based on the severity of the issue.
What are the benefits of choosing Regenexx?
There are many benefits to choosing this form of cellular therapy, including:
