Knee Osteoarthritis TreatmentTreatment of knee arthritis

As a professor at a university hospital, I have specialized in knee arthritis for more than 40 years, and have been involved in research, clinical practice, and education of future generations.

In the treatment of knee arthritis, it is important not to adhere to one treatment method, but to comprehensively evaluate the stage of the disease, age, activity level, and life background to select the most appropriate treatment for the patient.
From conservative therapy, injection therapy, regenerative medicine, and artificial joint surgery, we are able to provide the best treatment plan based on medical evidence.

What is knee arthritis?

Knee arthritis is due to wear and inflammation of the articular cartilage,

• pain when starting to walk
• Discomfort when ascending and descending stairs
• Difficulty sitting upright or walking for long periods of time

Symptoms such as the following occur
As the disease progresses, pain medication, hyaluronic acid injections, and rehabilitation are often not enough to control the symptoms.

What is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a treatment that uses stem cells harvested mainly from fat tissue and other sources and administered into the knee joint.
Stem cells have the following functions

• Reduce inflammation
• Reduce pain-causing substances

*Stem cells not only "build cartilage" directly, but also serve as a command post for the surrounding tissues.
