Patients suffering from hip pain often experience a significantly lower quality of life. Hip injuries or chronic pain can impair your mobility as well as stop you from participating in everyday activities. The pain can be difficult to escape as prolonged periods of standing can aggravate your pain, sitting for too long can make things worse as well as attempting to exercise or walk. As with most joint pain, it is an indication that something is wrong, either inflammation or poor joint health has resulted in improper contact.

The professionals at Stem Cellutions have years of expertise administering stem cell therapy for a range of joint and pain management. Previously Hip pain treatments were limited to steroid injections, physical therapy, partial replacement, or full Hip replacement surgery. Stem Cell therapy provides a promising non-surgical option. This 2017 study conducted by the National Institute of Health found that for patients with articular cartilage defects in the hip, stem cell therapy proved to be a safe and clinically effective treatment in the restoration of hip function and range of motion.

Stem Cell Hip Therapy Explained

Think of stem cells as unprogrammed cells, awaiting instruction for what type of cell they will function as. Cells tend to follow gene mapping and adapt to the function of the surrounding cells. When stem cells are injected into injury sites, that is the intended purpose, to provide your body with fresh, unprogrammed cells, so that it has the potential building blocks to repair damaged tissue. Stem cells are extracted from natural sources that are familiar to the human body, for example, taken from bone marrow. So you can consider stem cell therapy as a simple relocation of resources. Taking resources from a place of abundance, and placing them directly in an area of need!

In this case, the stem cells would be injected into your hip area, as close to the source of your pain/injury as possible. The intended outcome of this minimally invasive procedure would be to reduce inflammation of the tissue surrounding the joint, alleviate pressure on nearby nerves, and help stimulate the regrowth of damaged cartilage and tissues. Depending on the severity of your condition and how advanced it is, you could see your mobility return along with significantly subsided levels of pain.
