What seems like regular joint pain may be a gradual and subtle signal of chronic joint pain! Pain, swelling, redness, warm or hot joints particularly in the finger joints, toe joints, wrists, elbows, ankles, knees, and neck are a few of the main symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. If left untreated, these symptoms may gradually spread to other joints which could lead to deformities or disabilities. To reduce the rate of severity or improve overall symptoms for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, we would like to introduce you to “Stem Cell Therapy”, a rehabilitation option for a better quality of life.
Stem Cells to Slow Down and Relieve Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis, a Painful and Troublesome Condition
Due to the fact that rheumatoid arthritis stems from self-destruction of the body’s immune system (Autoimmune Disease) and synovium, early stage symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are inflammation and swelling affecting the cartilage and bone joints. This also includes affecting the joint ligaments and tendons that hold the muscle and bone together. The consequences of this condition are deformities, which if neglected and left unattended could result in disability. In addition to autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis can also be triggered by other factors!
2 Risk Factors That Increase the Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis!
1. Uncontrollable Factors
- Genetics: Having a family history of rheumatoid arthritis increases your risk of developing the disease
- Age range: 20-30 and 50-60 years
- Gender: Females are found to be more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than males during the ages of 20-30
2. Controllable Factors
- Smoking: Increases your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, and the severity of the diseases
- Accumulated Stress: Weakens the body in all aspects including the immune system
- Infections: Viral or bacterial infection can occur more easily in periods where the body is weak or has low immunity, thus risking the possibility of infections and illnesses
How Can You Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis?
1. Physical Therapy
Rheumatoid arthritis can be treated with proper physical therapy, and exercise to restore joint and muscle function for flexibility in order for various joints to return to their normal condition.
2. Medical Treatment
Painkillers, anti-inflammatory medicine and steroids used in conjunction with anti-rheumatic drugs can help to relieve pain in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis. The medication will take effect throughout the body’s immune system in order to reduce the spread and severity of various symptoms.
3. Surgery
In cases for patients with rheumatoid arthritis that is severe to the point where medication treatment is not possible such as deformities in the joints, surgery may be necessary to treat and reduce pain from severe inflammation.

“Stem Cell Therapy”: An Option to Restore Rheumatoid Arthritis Without Surgery
At present, stem cells are now being used as an alternative rehabilitation treatment for various diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which include cord tissue and amnion tissue stem cells can directly help rehabilitate inflammation in various joints, where these stem cells play a role in dividing itself to replace bone cells, inflamed or impaired joint tissues. Therefore, preventing inflammation in the wrist and finger joints, significantly reducing the severity of the disease.
