Joint pain is a common condition experienced by many people. If left untreated, it can interfere with daily activities and even reduce mobility. As a solution, Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital has launched a stem cell treatment service to address joint pain. In fact, the hospital employs doctors who are certified in stem cell therapy and regenerative therapy.
Mandaya Puri Hospital Launches Stem Cell Services for Joint Pain
Stem cells are special types of cells with two essential properties: the ability to replicate themselves (self-renewal) and to transform into different types of cells (differentiation). These cells can be found in nearly all body tissues.
According to Dr. Jecky Chandra, M.Kes, Sp.OT(K), CIPS, AIFO-K, an orthopedic specialist at Mandaya Puri Hospital who is certified in stem cell and regenerative therapy, there are several criteria a cell must meet to be considered a stem cell.
“First, it must be an undifferentiated cell, meaning a pure cell that has not yet developed into a specific type. Second, it should be able to replicate itself (renewal cell). Third, it must be capable of differentiating into more than one type of cell—for example, transforming into muscle cells, nerve cells, or bone cells,” explained Dr. Jecky.
The ability of stem cells to develop into various types of body cells makes them a valuable and effective tool in regenerative medicine.
Today, a new treatment method using stem cell therapy has been developed to address joint pain. This therapy is designed to repair and regenerate damaged or inflamed joint tissues.
Although the human body naturally contains stem cells, Dr. Jecky explains that both the number and quality of these cells decline with age.
“Our bodies are actually capable of healing themselves. Why? Because the human body contains stem cells. However, as we age, the number and quality of our stem cells decrease, which is why we sometimes need additional stem cells from external sources,” said Dr. Jecky.
Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital provides stem cell therapy administered by certified professionals in both stem cell and regenerative treatments.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Joint Pain Include:
- Reducing and alleviating pain
- Improving joint function
- Accelerating recovery
- Regenerating damaged tissues
- Reducing the need for invasive surgery
- Minimizing risks and side effects
Stem Cell Therapy Procedure at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital
Stem cell therapy for joint pain is administered by injecting stem cells into the affected joint area. Generally, most patients require at least 2 to 3 stem cell injections to address their condition.
The number of stem cells injected into a patient’s body may vary, typically ranging from 1 to 100 million stem cells. Several factors influence the number of cells used, such as the type of stem cell and the area being treated.
In addition to treating joint pain, stem cell therapy is often used for:
- Osteoarthritis
- Ligament & tendon injuries
- Fractures
- Sports injuries
