The Benefits of Cell Therapy for Avascular Necrosis

Image
It is a common fact that bones are connected to other skeletal and muscular tissue by ligaments and tendons. Healthy bones have a supply of red blood cells, which take oxygen from the lungs to the part of the body where it is needed. If these cells are not present or are inadequate in number, myocardial failure will eventually result. What is Avascular Necrosis? Avascular necrosis is a condition in which the supply of blood to a bone decreases or stops. The bone then dies as a result of a lack of oxygen and nutrients, becoming too weak to support the weight of the body. What is bone cell Therapy? Cell therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that involves the use of living cells to treat or prevent disease. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a type of cell that can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and other tissues. BMSCs have been shown to be effective in treating avascular necrosis (AVN), a condition in which the blood supply to the bone is disrupted and the bone ti

Smoking & Bones: Pathway To Weaker Bones

Bones are one of the most incredible organs in our bodies. They provide structure, protect our vital organs, and allow us to move. But did you know that smoking cigarettes can weaken your bones and lead to serious health problems? In this blog post, we will explore how smoking affects our bones and what we can do to prevent it. We will also touch on the importance of quitting smoking for not just our bone health, but our overall health as well. What are the risks of smoking for bones? Smoking is a well-known risk factor for many diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and stroke. But did you know that smoking is also a major risk factor for Avascular Necrosis ? Avascular Necrosis is a disease that causes bone death due to weak and brittle bones. Smoking increases your risk of developing the disease by decreasing the amount of calcium in your bones, reducing bone density, and increasing the rate of bone loss. Smoking also increases your risk of fractures. In fact, smokers are 50% mor

Alcohol and hip joint: Not a good connection, Here’s Why!

At least 10 heavy drinkers are diagnosed with avascular necrosis every day! Alcohol is often thought of as a way to relax or celebrate, but did you know that it can harm your bones? A recent study has shown how alcohol consumption impacts bones and how it has increased the risk of avascular necrosis significantly.  When it comes to our hip joint, we all know that it is an important joint. It provides structure and support to our bodies, and allows us to move, and perform various activities. But did you know that what we eat and drink can have a big impact on the hip joint? That’s right – what we consume can either help to keep it healthy and strong, or it can contribute to weakening and degradation. And unfortunately, when it comes to alcohol, the latter is more often the case. While moderate alcohol consumption has been shown to have some positive health benefits, when it comes to bone health, the negatives outweigh the positives.  So why is there such a negative connection between al

Knee Pain: Why Does It Occur?

Image
At some point in our lives, most of us experience knee pain. For some, it could be a brief twinge that goes away quickly. Others might have to deal with chronic pain that can last for months or even years. But what causes knee pain? And why does it seem to happen more often as we age? In this blog, we'll explore some of the most common reasons for knee pain and discuss treatment options. What can lead to knee pain? The causes of knee pain can vary from individual to individual. But what needs to be considered is that young people are at a higher risk of pain and discomfort. This is because they are still growing and their bones are not yet fully developed. Some common causes of pain are: Injury: Some injuries may heal within a short period of time but some may take longer. Well, with proper treatment and care the pain might not return but some injury pains can reoccur after years too. Overuse of the knee joint: Our knee joints are protected by the layer of cartilage t
