Has COVID-19 Infection Affected Your Muscles And Increased Joint Pain?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added muscle/joint pain to its list of COVID-19 symptoms in April 2020.
Imagine raising your shoulder where it stiffens with severe ache. What happens if this shoulder pain worsens and make you restless? You may be worried due to its worsening condition, and your physician has already recommended surgery as the option.
No worries! Our regenerative treatments can heal your shoulder problems naturally without surgery.
Before we go through the shoulder problems and their treatment, let us understand the anatomy of your shoulder.
The conventional treatment for shoulder issues includes non-surgical procedures and surgical procedures to improve the strength and function of shoulder joints by controlling the symptoms and avoid further joint damage. Non-surgical procedures include R.I.C.E. Formula (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), activity modification, and physical therapy. Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroid injections provide short-term relief, but they have systemic and local adverse side effects.
Lastly, your doctor may recommend shoulder arthroscopy to treat some of the shoulder injuries. In the case of osteoarthritis, your doctor may recommend arthroplasty (shoulder joint replacement) surgery. But they have a few disadvantages:
So slowly, the wheels of medicine are changing. Fortunately, regenerative cellular therapies have evolved as an alternative to shoulder surgery.
The motto of regenerative therapy is your body can heal by itself. If you cut your finger, it bleeds and forms a scab like structure. Ultimately, it is the healing cell beneath the scab that seals the injury and stop the bleeding. Similarly, your body can also examine the signs of damage and repair them using its healing cells.
Regenerative treatment is a non-surgical procedure that provides long-lasting relief from the symptoms with minimal downtime and enhances recovery within a short period. It has no side effects since the injection involves your blood or regenerative cells harvested from your body. So, there is no chance of rejection or cross-transmission of disease.
Regenerative cellular therapy for cartilage regeneration is the right approach for shoulder joint preservation and acts as an alternative to shoulder replacement. Regenerative treatment can repair cartilage defects and soft tissue injury in the shoulder before it causes osteoarthritis [8]. A research journal published in 2017 revealed that the application of mesenchymal cells and varied growth factors can be a promising approach to enhance the repair of damaged cells [9]. Another research study published in 2019 revealed that bone marrow concentrates can treat shoulder osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tears with symptomatic improvement in pain and functionality [10].
A 2018 research study showed that PRP and bone marrow aspirate can significantly reduce pain and improve shoulder function in patients compared to surgical interventions [11].
Prolotherapy can effectively treat rotator cuff injuries, AC joint injury, tendonitis, labral tears, and shoulder instability. Dextrose prolotherapy can reduce pain, improve shoulder functioning, and enhance patient satisfaction [12].
