General Facts On 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 the connective tissue located between bones. The rate of growth and repair in this tissue is slower compared with other connective tissues in the human body. It is damaged when there is a poor supply of nutrients to the ligaments preventing the complete healing of injuries. It can also be damaged by inflammatory disease and degenerative diseases.

Doctors use several techniques to manage this condition. However, the results obtained vary form one patient to another and while they may be effective in some patients in others it may be the opposite. There are two main approaches from which to choose from. Surgery may be used to repair the damage or cartilage cells may be extracted from other body sections then implanted over the damaged area

There are several methods that are used in this procedure. However, these methods are successful in some patients while in others the results obtained are not satisfactory. There are two approaches that may be adopted. One of them involves extracting cartilage cells from other locations of the body and implanting into the affected region. The other option available is to use surgery to repair the damaged area.

Intraneural therapy has also been adopted in the treatment of various conditions. This treatment technique has been successful in arthritis. It is administered to clear the causes behind arthritis. Once these causes are cleared, the cartilage gets the opportunity to receive essential nutrients and oxygen necessary for regeneration.

Most people experience problems in their cartilage as a result of aging. A certain gene present in our body has been identified to prevent the impact of aging on individuals when it is stimulated. Several supplements have been developed to aid in the process. These supplements are designed with unique characteristics such as anti-inflammatory properties and are effective antioxidants. They contain numerous essential minerals and vitamins that prevent complications that result from aging.

There are several vitamins that promote the health and function of the joints. These vitamins need to be included in a well-balanced diet to boost the process of healing and repair of the tissues of the body. Vitamin C has been singled out as the most essential together with the supplements that can be obtained over-the-counter to provide the much needed relief.

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.
