Critical Information Regarding Natural Cartilage Regeneration

By Dr. Grazyna Pajunen


There has been some medical controversy over whether natural cartilage regeneration is possible. The general consensus is that the process is possible in children and teenagers who are still growing while in adults it is a slow process. In the adult stage, the cartilage has a limited supply of blood which limits the ability of the body to repair and regrow it. Fortunately, there are techniques available that can be used to facilitate the repair process.

Cartilage is an essential connective tissue found in the bones. The process of repair takes place at a slow rate in this tissue than in other tissues in the human body. An inadequate supply of nutrients to this tissue interferes with proper healing of wounds and injuries leading to damaged tissues. Inflammatory diseases and degenerative conditions are also major causes of complications.

Aging is a major cause of cartilage complications. Scientists have identified a gene which when stimulated reduces the effects of aging. This has led to the development of dietary supplements that are extremely useful. They possess anti-inflammatory properties and contain numerous plant based diets that are usually absent from the daily diets. They improve the ability of antioxidants body to counter any age related illnesses.

There are still medical experiments that are being performed. Growth hormones are being investigated for their ability to stimulate the production of cells. The healing ability of microfracturing performed by making minute hones around the affected area is another method being tested. To this end, the results obtained are very promising particularly in the treatment of the ankle and elbow. The ability of nanotubes to enhance tissue regeneration is also being studied.

There are several experiments that are underway. One includes the use of growth hormones to stimulate the process of cell production. The results obtained so far indicate that it very effective in the treatment of elbows and ankles. Microfracturing which involves the drilling of very small holes in the bone adjacent to the affected tissues has also been adopted. Other mechanical approaches include the use of carbon nanotubes to stimulate tissue regeneration.

Some of these conditions can be relieved through intraneural therapy. The sessions of this therapy are effective in the treatment of arthritis. It treats the specific cause of the condition at the joint and permits the joint to heal and function normally. Once the cause of this medical condition has been the removed the connective tissue gets a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients and is able to regenerate.

Health experts also recommend dietary and lifestyle adjustments in the management of this condition. Feeding on a well-balanced diet that is rich in vitamins can boost the repair and healing of wounds in the body. Vitamin is particularly important and van be combined with the numerous supplements available in the market.

It is advisable to enroll for a specialized exercise program that is not strenuous to facilitate the movement of the affected joints. This helps to prevent the joints from growing stiff due to immobility. Joints are vulnerable to degeneration and the needs of their repair usually hinder the ability of the body to produce new cartilage. Natural cartilage regeneration is a slow process and requires stimulation through techniques that ensure a constant supply blood to these tissues.
