Hi, this is Josh with dream Bobby clinic. And today I'm going to talk a little bit about stem cells and arthritis. Arthritis is one of the most common things we see here at our clinic for treatments. If we look at arthritis, there's a couple of different ways to look at it. Some people have specific areas, like maybe their finger fingers hurt or their hands. Other people seem to have it everywhere. Treatment wise, there's two different ways to look at it as well. If you have it through your whole system, a lot of times the first step can be an IV. It's going to get through your system. It's going to go to target inflammation. Now, the downside to the IV is that about 80% will never get past your lungs and your heart.
That's why we have to do such large amounts, like 100 million, 200 million, 300 million. The best dose recommendation from our lab is 1.4 million per pound of body weight. For me, that would be like a 300 million Ivy. So that's kind of the step one, but it's typically not the most effective.
That's more if you're just kind of hurting everywhere, it will get there. It will start to build upon the cartilage that is still there. The next thing to bring up is if you've got a knee, a lot of times that has arthritis, they'll tell you, Oh, it's bone on bone. We can't do anything. You either must wait as long as you can before surgery, or they just want to get in there and start cutting.
[00:01:24] They're replacing. We do an MRI with all of our joint treatments to find out if there is cartilage, because sometimes they'll say bone on bone, but even with fourth degree osteoarthritis, there can still be some cartilage. As long as there is a little bit of cartilage, the stem cells can get there and start regenerating.
Now, if it is fourth degree you probably not going to get all the way to perfect with one treatment. You're going to get it back up to third degree or second degree. We see that often in like the three to six months range, and that's still better. It might mean in a year from treatment, you're going to need a follow up treatment.
In the case that we have only bone on bone left, all the stem cells would do is reduce inflammation and pain, and it would probably last for three to six months, and then you'd be back to where you were. So in those cases, you know, we don't always recommend it unless people are already here and we're just going to give it a shot and hope that, you know, we can regain some cartilage, but not our recommended treatment for that.
So direct injections are more effective. You're not having to go through the lungs in the heart. We're getting it all there. The knee, we would do 50 million directly there to the joint. It's going to target the inflammation. It's going to guide the repair, elbows, fingers, hands, uh, everything. Guys, any kind of, any joint that's got it.
We see a lot of backs with arthritis. All of this. If we get the STEM cells in there, they can help that cartilage. Regenerate. So that's what stem cells can do for cartilage, but you need to get a lot in there. The number matters, which is why we get as many as we can for each articulation. We can see a lot more regeneration and repair. So if you want to learn more, get ahold of us.
