Finally, ACL Tear Treatment Without Surgery Thanks to Stem Cells

 

Ventura County, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/11/2015 -- Thanks to stem cell therapy, an extremely painful injury that once required surgery and months of physical therapy can often be treated in a few weeks, without a hospital visit.

Knees are one of the most commonly injured joints in our bodies and tears in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) are reported to doctors more than 200,000 times a year. The resulting injury, which is extremely painful and can make it impossible to walk, has largely required surgery -- until now. Using stem cell therapy, doctors at Regen Doctor are routinely able to eliminate the down time, risks, and other disadvantages of surgical procedures.

Instead, the therapies use signaling cells taken from the patients' own body in order to heal a specific area of a given limb. This greatly accelerates joint tissue regeneration in the ACL. Additionally, the procedure does not involve a hospital stay -- it is performed in the office -- and recovery time averages a few weeks. Traditional treatments, by comparison, have invariably been invasive surgical procedures requiring six or even nine months of physical therapy before the patient is able to return to a normal level of daily functioning or activity.

What Is An ACL Tear, And Who Experiences Them?

More than 70% of ACL tears happen to players taking part in agility sports, according to the UCFS Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. At the same time, though the majority of ACL damage is sports related, it can happen in almost any case where patients experience a shock to the area. IN particular: sudden twisting, stopping or pivoting, an attempt to regain balance after a fall or stumble, or an unbalanced landing on a jump may all produce ACL tears.

Patients may experience several degrees of damage, ranging from partial tears to completely torn ACLs, and in turn experience a spectrum of symptoms which depend on the injury's severity.

These include:

- Feeling their knees "give out"
- Hearing a "pop" when the injury occurs
- Experiencing immediate pain at the moment the ligament tears
- Seeing severe tenderness, stiffness, or tenderness
- Being unable to put weight on the injured knee
- Finding it difficult or impossible to walk normally

Traditionally ACL tears are treated with invasive surgery, which requires a hospital visit and 6-9 months worth of physical therapy following the operation in order to regain normal functioning in the knee.

Stem cell therapies from Regen Doctor offer a much more pleasant alternative for many patients who might be considering surgery for an ACL tear. With PRP or stem cell therapies, it's often possible avoid surgery and the related risks. For ACL tears, stem cell therapy represents a proven and trusted orthopaedic treatment which helps regain knee functioning and alleviate pain resulting from an ACL tear or sprain.
