Valuable Information About 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.

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 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.

A large number of people experience this problem as they age. To counter this problem, scientists have discovered a gene that is within the human body that can be stimulated to eliminate any effects related to the aging process. Numerous supplements have also been manufactured to treat this problem. These supplements are effective antioxidants that prevent illness that arise with old age. They have many essential nutrients that the body requires for proper growth.

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.

Making adjustments on the lifestyle of the individual is also important. Taking part in exercises that are not strenuous is a great step towards ensuring the mobility of joints by preventing any stiffness. Joints are susceptible to degeneration and it is important to take care of them. The studies conducted are aimed at improving the process of natural cartilage regeneration in human beings.
