Knee pain and mobility issues can drastically impact daily life, leaving many people with limited options—either live with the discomfort or undergo surgery. But what if there was another solution?
DW, a 68-year-old woman, had been dealing with right knee pain for six months. Without any prior trauma, she experienced aching pain, swelling, and an unsettling catching sensation in her knee. Walking, standing, and bending worsened her symptoms, and her pain was becoming more intense. Imaging revealed mild arthritis and a lateral meniscus tear.
After weighing her treatment options—including arthroscopic surgery—DW decided to try a less invasive approach: stem cell therapy. She received injections directly into her knee joint and meniscus tear, aiming to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation.
Now, three months post-treatment, her results speak for themselves. The pain she once rated at 4/10 with activity is completely gone. The instability and catching sensation have disappeared. Best of all, she’s returned to one of her favorite activities—bowling—without any discomfort.
Cases like DW highlight the potential of stem cell therapy as an alternative to surgery for orthopedic conditions. Regenerative medicine could change the future of knee pain treatment.
