General Facts On Natural Cartilage Regeneration

By Dr. Grazyna Pajunen


The concept of natural cartilage regeneration has been a source of medical controversy for some time. To clear any doubt numerous studies have been conducted in this area. Some of the researchers report that the process is actively seen in children and teenagers and is relatively slow in adults. This is because in the adults the supply of blood to this connective tissue is limited limiting repair and growth. Fortunately, several methods and products have been discovered that can enhance these processes.

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.

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.

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.

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.
