Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting over 32.5 million Americans, according to the CDC. This degenerative joint disease occurs when cartilage wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While OA can affect any joint, it is most commonly found in the knees, hips, shoulders, and hands.
At OrthoGen Health, we specialize in non-surgical regenerative medicine therapies that support joint preservation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate natural cartilage repair. Our advanced biologic treatments, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, and stem cell therapy, offer an effective alternative to invasive surgeries and long-term medication use.
“Someone referred me to this place because i had a very bad knee pain which multiple other doctors i visited, told me have to have an open surgery but Dr.James told me can do PRP which is much easier and safer. I thought it worth trying it. After almost 2 years, i still have no pain and i got back to normal life. I am so glad listen to Dr, James and for your info i think he has one of the highest certificates that only a few doctors in the US have it.
He is so kind and acknowledgeable and i definitely recommend anyone who has joint pain before letting others to have any open surgeries which obviously they want nothing but making money.Thanks you for making the life enjoyable for me again.”
How Regenerative Medicine Helps Manage Osteoarthritis
Conventional treatments such as cortisone injections, NSAIDs, and joint replacement surgery focus on symptom relief but do not address the underlying degeneration of joint tissue. Regenerative medicine works differently by enhancing the body’s ability to repair and restore joint health naturally.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP is rich in growth factors that promote cartilage repair, reduce joint inflammation, and improve overall mobility.
Exosome Therapy
Exosomes act as cellular messengers, helping to regulate inflammation and stimulate joint tissue regeneration.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells support the repair of worn-out cartilage and slow the progression of osteoarthritis.
Biologic Injections
These injections enhance joint lubrication, reduce pain, and protect against further deterioration.
Studies show that PRP therapy has been proven to provide significant pain relief and improved function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, making it a promising alternative to surgery.
Symptoms and Causes of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis develops gradually due to aging, repetitive joint stress, or previous injuries. Common symptoms include:
- Joint pain that worsens with movement
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity
- Swelling and tenderness around the joint
- Cracking or grinding sensations when moving
- Limited range of motion and flexibility
