Are There Natural Treatment Options for Osteoarthritis Pain?

Arthritis pain can be debilitating, making it difficult to enjoy everyday activities. While invasive procedures and prescription medications can provide relief, many people prefer natural alternatives. At Greystone Regenerative Medicine in Concord, NH, Dr. Nathaniel Shober and our team offer various natural treatments for osteoarthritis pain without the need for synthetic chemicals or extensive procedures. Read on to discover how PRP therapy may help restore your joint comfort and function.

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a common condition where the protective cartilage between joints wears down, causing painful “bone-on-bone” contact. It often affects the knees, hands, hips, neck, and lower back and is associated with age, genetics, and joint injuries.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

• Joint pain

• Stiffness

• Feeling or sound of bones scraping or grinding

• Tenderness or swelling around the joint

• Rigidity and inflexibility

• Bone spurs

Pain is the most impactful symptom, making simple tasks like tying shoes or walking up stairs difficult.

Natural Treatment Options for Osteoarthritis Pain

At Greystone Regenerative Medicine, we focus on natural, effective pain relief solutions. PRP therapy is a standout treatment that utilizes the body's regenerative properties to heal damaged tissues.

PRP Therapy:

• Process: A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP. The PRP is then injected into the affected joint.

• Benefits: The nutrients in PRP stimulate healing, repair damaged tissues, and reduce pain.

• Duration: Results can last up to nine months, with many patients opting for injections twice a year for consistent relief.

Conclusion

Combining physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and PRP therapy can provide reliable osteoarthritis pain relief. To learn more about PRP injections and other natural treatments, contact Greystone Regenerative Medicine in Concord, NH, and schedule your consultation with Dr. Nathaniel Shober today.
