Joy Kong, MD explains why your knee pain and chronic aches aren't just wear-and-tear. They signal inflammation and your body's failing ability to repair itself. Stem cell therapy can restore that reparative capacity, alongside lifestyle and supplement changes.
Aches and pains. So this is the first sign that indicates that you may need stem cells. So aches and pains is really a sign of inflammation. When body is stuck in an inflammatory state. That's when the aches and pains are not going away. It could be caused by many things. Low blood flow, low immune function. If you think about, let's just say knee pain, that some people think, oh yeah, I am too much wear and tear on my knee, this is why I have knee pain. That is not true. Because if you think back when you were 7 years old, don't you think you were wearing and tearing your knees as much or way more than what you're doing now? You are climbing fences and jump off trees when you are not even doing that much and you're having aches and pains. It's really because your body is not keeping up with the tiny, tiny little damages just from normal daily life or very mild activities. But when you were a little kid, you may be doing things that are hurting your joints to a much greater extent, yet it's healed right away, it's very fast and you don't have anything lingering. This is why you'd be hard pressed to find any 7 year old with osteoarthritis. So it just doesn't happen in little kids. This is a degenerative condition. Your knee pain is due to degeneration and your body's inability to repair. So if you're lacking the reparative potential, what can I do to promote the repair? Of course, you can do all kinds of things, supplements and red light and all that. But the most powerful modality is probably stem cell therapy.
