Am really sad that cartilage hasn’t been made possible. Thank you though for being honest to educate to us about it and let’s not believe cartilage can be grown through food or drugs. Thanks 🙏🏼
Great job, joint pain sufferer for 10+ years, did many therapies, Triogenics, Shockwave, Prolo, Ozone, Red Light etc. etc……joints still lack flexibility and I am in constant pain. So there is nothing currently that can really cure an arthritic joint? Thank you for this honest presentation.
@@jamesgallant3553 no, we currently don’t have any way to grow back cartilage to the point where your knee will look like when you were 18 again, however, we do have ways of growing back some cartilage and remodeling the joint, kind of like the show “fixer upper“. We have seen people with “bone on bone” and no pain with greatly improved mobility, less swelling, less pain, and reaching their goals, but, correct, there is no magicpill, it takes a full program and not just a “shot and go“. if you do want to learn more, please feel free to email us at Regen@victoryinmotion.com; thank you very much for your comment!
Little by little we are getting there. There have been some papers that show some cartilage can be grown back. We will eventually get to the point where we can grow cartilage back, but even more importantly PREVENT cartilage loss in the first place. Thank you for your comment!

What about glucosamine and chondroitin supplementation process, there many testimonials that it can alleviate of osteoarthritis system and good for cartilage and senuvial fluid
@@celerinonavallo1816 that is in several of our posts and videos. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate are not earth shattering, and there is no evidence that they grow back new cartilage, but there is some evidence that they may protect the cartilage that is still there. Some people do notice a benefit from taking these, other people do not. Always consult with your own doctor before taking any supplement because it can interact with other medications or supplements you are taking and also, some people are allergic to these type of supplements if they have an allergy to shellfish or other animal proteins. Also consulting with your pharmacist could help as well. Thank you for your comment!
Your video is very clearly presented in every way. Not to insult your expertise as I'm sure you are the best... but... Have you read Pete Egoscue's books? He's good, especially his first book.
Thank you for your video! A doctor told me that I have osteoarthritis in my hip. I have been exploring natural ways of dealing with this condition. One thing I have been doing is mixing peanut oil and honey. I rub it on my hip joint and on also on my knee. That is helping me. Maybe it can help somebody else. Just know that I had like varicose veins at the side of my knee. Since I have been putting honey on that area they have almost completely disappeared. In a book on Edgar Cayce Remedies it is suggested to apply peanut oil on arthritic joints.
@@sparky7915 we are very glad that you feel better. It may have some type of local anti-inflammatory effect like other types of rubs and creams have, but it’s not treating the underlying cause if there’s truly osteoarthritis in there. That is the problem, it is not going to treat the underlying cause. it is just going to make it feel better or be like a Band-Aid effect. Not that I don’t love, honey, both to eat, but also have used it on superficial infections, specially around fingers and nails, and it has worked very well. Obviously always consult with your own doctor regarding these type of home remedies first. Thank you very much for your comment!

@@marieeshercoia5375 unfortunately that can happen, even with surgery. Nothing is 100% (except death and taxes of course): Some questions: 1). How much blood did they draw? 2) What was the dose they used (in billions of platelets) 3). Single or double spin? 4). What system did they use? 5). Did they use ultrasonic or fluoroscopic guidance when they performed the injection? 6). Leukocyte Rich or Leukocyte Poor 7). What was your platelet count prior to injection? 8). Did they get an MRI??? 9). Do you have bone marrow lesions (stress/microfractures…”soft spots” in the bone under your cartilage? … if you do and those were not addressed, it would not be surprising if just injecting into the inside of the knee and not injecting into the bone marrow lesions did not help…we see this all the time (see previous posts…”Don’t forget the bone!”) 10). Did you have just a “shot and go” or was there any rehab, laser, diet, weight/fat loss if needed. Just a plain shot only is less effective than a “Whole-istic” approach. Thank you for your comment!

@@vincentvavpot7108 thank you for your question! In general, yes, the same principles apply, but, every joint is a little bit different and each person and their individual situation is obviously a little bit different. thanks again!
@@BecauseofHisLove777 thank you for your question. Don’t have time to go look at the exact quote in the video right this second, but can try to check on it later. Bottom line, however, is that Cortisone is bad. Yes, it decreases inflammation, but it also decreases healing, increases the risk of infection, increases blood sugar, which is bad in diabetics, can cause fat necrosis underneath the skin which can lead to deformities, and can cause light patches on the skin, not to mention suppress the production of normal Cortisone by our adrenal glands. I may have been referencing that there have been two studies over the last couple of years that have confirmed what we already know. Patients who received Cortisone injections into their knees, actually had more rapid development of arthritis than patients who did not get Cortisone injections. Also, if a patient is given a Cortisone injection into their area where we are going to be performing surgery, we have to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks to perform the surgery because of the increased risk of infection and wound healing problems. If a patient has had a Cortisone injection into their shoulder within a full year, and they undergo a rotator cuff repair, they have a much, much higher rate of not healing the rotator cuff repair. So, just a bunch of reasons why Cortisone is terrible in our opinion. We very, very rarely use it. It is technology from the 1940s. It is artificial.
@@maxinebrooks6672 not fans of any type of cortisone shot when we know that studies have shown that patients who receive cortisone shots vs those who don’t develop worse arthritis

@@terryhill4732 thank you for your comment. There are SO many variables. Not all “PRP” is created equal. Hopefully they kick in for you. Variables such as: How much blood, how many cc were drawn; how many spins were performed; what the cell count was; leukocyte rich or leukocyte poor; injected with ultrasonic guidance; Intra-articular +/- interosseous; MRI vs no MRI to check for bone marrow lesions/stress-microfractures/“soft spots” that cause most of the pain in arthritic knees, etc., etc. All things we consider, and then some, when coming up with a full individualized , personalized Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement, TM PROGRAM, not “just” a “shot and go”.
Good question. We do not Rx peptides at this time, but BPC 157 is reported to aid in the recovery after exercise amongst other things. Interestingly, it is actually a banned substance for competitive/professional/Olympic/world class athletes, so that does lend to the fact that it sounds like it is truly a performance enhancer since it is banned. Again, we cannot comment on personal use because we do not prescribe it currently. It is also not FDA approved, so there are regulatory issues that also need to be considered. As far as collagen and other supplements, and some people would consider peptides supplements, that is a personal choice. Always read the package insert and/or consult with your pharmacist/physician/medical provider regarding any supplements you take. Since collagen is not a banned substance it is doubtful that it enhances performance, but some people do feel that taking collagen, even going way back to Knox Nutrijoint helps their joint pain and their flexibility. Nothing Earth shattering, nothing as profound as using cellular based therapy, but a personal choice. We hope that helps. Thank you!

Technically, there are no true “stem cell“ therapies in the United States. Meaning, we cannot culture and grow stem cells currently, and then inject them back into a patient except under special circumstances, such as an approved research study for example. however, bone marrow, which has stem cells in it, can be aspirated and/or concentrated and utilized as well as certain forms of adipose tissue that also have a higher concentration of stem cells in them than other types of body tissues. Technically these are “off label“ uses, but as long as the use is considered “homologous” and Proper informed consent is performed, they can be utilized for the knee. We tend to utilize bone marrow because it has both hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells as well as many other types of cells and growth factors. For more information please feel free to email us at info@victorysportsmedicine.com.

@@Cindy-df1xk this is completely untrue. There are definitely ways to grow back new cartilage, whether it be surgically or nonsurgically, but, correctly, there is no way currently to grow back new cartilage to make someone’s arthritic knee look like a normal knee when they were 18 …yet, but we are definitely making progress compared to where we were five years ago and especially 10 years ago. There was just recently a study that came out that showed that the thickness of the cartilage along the inner/medial portion of the knee improved over the course of two years using ultrasonic guidance after a PRP injection. That is promising, and there are also several MRI studies looking specifically at cartilage regrowth that do show some regrowth, again, not perfect. To me, what we really need is a large scale arthroscopic before and after regenerative medicine technique study in order to measure this more accurately. Definitely not perfect at this time, but definitely can greatly improve symptoms, function, and overall remodeling of the interior of the joint in addition to, in some cases, growing back some articular cartilage, but I don’t know of any studies that show that we can grow meniscus back yet either. I hope that helps answer your question. PS : to say “never” in medicine, and most things in life, is a mistake. Way back when it could “never” be that the earth was not flat, we know that’s completely false now in addition to many, many other “nevers”. Someday we will prevent or significantly slow down arthritis as opposed to even having to try to regrow cartilage back. Genetic/gene therapy, etc… it is coming!
@@janejohnson3087 since each person and each problem is different, that general of a question is impossible to answer correctly. Having said that most people do much better if they do a program as opposed to “just” a “shot and go”. even with surgery, if rehab or total body fitness is added afterwards, laser is added as an adjunct, fat/weight loss may need to be added, genetic base nutrition may need to be added, even bio identical hormone therapy sometimes can help a lot. There are other more controversial things like ozone therapy, etc. Having said that as well, this is a very, very general statement, but in the vast majority of people who undergo ortho biologic procedures like you reference, the range is probably somewhere between 70 to 95% success rate, again, based on the condition and circumstances. Remember, people are like snowflakes, people‘s problems are like snowflakes, no two are the same. Bottom line: our bodies have factors in our blood and cells in our body that help prevent us from breaking down every day. As we get older, they may not work as well, but regenerative medicine experts like ourselves basically just take those factors and cells, concentrate them, and inject them into the areas that need help. That is over simplistic, but that’s basically what it is at this time. So, we are really “just “helping your body heal itself, which is the amazing thing. We are just at the tip of the iceberg in this biologic revolution. Having said that, we are light years ahead of five years ago and 10 years ago and 16 years ago when Dr. P first started performing PRP. Exciting times!
@@neilboyd904 if you look through all of our posts and social media, you’ll see that not all PRP is created equal. If you don’t mind us asking, how many cc of blood did they draw, how many spins in the centrifuge, what was the cell count, was it injected with ultrasound and in what body part for what problem, was it leukocyte Rich or leukocyte poor? Also, we would agree that usually just “a shot and go” does not work as well as a holistic total program with, perhaps, PRP as 1 piece of the puzzle.
@ Hello. It was ultrasound-guided into my right knee where I have bad osteoarthritis. Everything else you were mentioning I haven’t a clue about. It was a pain consultant who administered the injection. What disappointed me was I experienced no discernible improvement. Nothing. But I knew there were no guarantees

@@BrianJuntunen Thank you for your comment! The body has a limited ability to replace or repair cartilage, particularly in adults. Cartilage, especially articular cartilage found in joints, lacks its own blood supply, which is crucial for healing. Without direct access to nutrients and repair cells through the bloodstream, cartilage repair is slow and often incomplete. How Cartilage Repair Works Naturally: 1. Minimal Healing Capacity: Cartilage relies on the surrounding synovial fluid and subchondral bone for nutrients. Minor damage may heal to some extent, but the repair tissue is often weaker fibrocartilage, not the original hyaline cartilage. 2. Role of Subchondral Bone: If damage reaches the subchondral bone, the body might attempt to repair the area by forming fibrocartilage. However, this is functionally and structurally inferior to hyaline cartilage. 3. Age Factor: Younger individuals may have a slightly better capacity for cartilage repair, as their cells are more active and adaptable. Advances in Cartilage Repair Modern medicine has developed ways to stimulate cartilage repair, including: • *****Regenerative Medicine: Treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) have shown potential in improving cartilage thickness and reducing symptoms.***** • Surgical Techniques: Options like microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral grafting aim to enhance cartilage repair. • Emerging Therapies: Gene therapy, biologics, and tissue engineering may hold promise for growing or regenerating cartilage in the future. While the body has some natural ability to maintain and repair cartilage, it’s limited, especially in cases of significant damage or arthritis. Advances in regenerative medicine are providing hope for better solutions.
Walking in and of itself probably does not grow cartilage. Don’t know of any studies that show that. Having said that, MOVEMENT is very good for the health of the cartilage we do have. Joints were made for moving, so, in general, movement is good for joint and cartilage health and maintenance. We have the motto: “Get moving…Keep moving” at Victory In Motion for that reason. Thank you for your question!

@@jidhinmlcet there are so many factors. What a lot of doctors are calling “PRP” actually is not a high enough concentration of platelets which, depending on the condition, needs to be anywhere between 3.5 billion all the way up to 10 billion. Are they using single spin, double spin? Are they using leukocyte rich vs leukocyte poor? How much blood are they drawing? Are they using ultrasound to inject precisely? What is the rehab like, are they doing total body fitness like we do? Are they adding other adjuncts such as MLS laser? Having said that, we have found that adding cells, i.e., bone marrow aspirate cells, does seem to improve our results. Bottom line: not all “PRP” is actually “PRP”.

@@VictoryInMotion1 It worked temporarily for me, I think. The pain and inflammation eventually came down and I started being able to walk without my cane.

I have heard from a coworker that second round of prp did not help her. Another colleague said it did, so....I guess we are all different. It just depends.
@@CynthiaAva you are correct we are all different and our diagnoses and goals are all different. A huge factor is also what I replied above to @jidhinmlcet. Not all PRP is created equally and usually “just” a “shot and go” are not enough. I have been performing PRP since 2008, but in 2024 almost never just give it by itself. We almost always do an individualized, personalized Whole-istic program for each patient. If a patient has a displaced meniscus tear, PRP alone won’t usually get that to heal.
@@binachand968 get the government, big Pharma, and the insurance companies to actually get on board with getting to the root cause of most of the medical conditions, including arthritis, and treat the root cause and not the symptoms.

Also, our bodies have amazing potential to heal themselves, why isn’t that being pushed by insurance companies rather than Cortisone injections, which study after study, have shown cause more damage/harm than good.

HEADING, GIVES HOPE, BUT LISTENING TO U, WATCHING FULL VIDEO, RESULTING ZERO, NO CURE YET FOR CARTILEGES GROWING, SO, TILL U DON'T FIND SOLUTION. DON'T MAKE VIDEOS, WASTING OUR TIME, EITHER DON'T GIVE THIS HEADLINE, WITHOUT OPERATION, ETC ETC.
@@binachand968 the video does talk about bone marrow cells-BMAC / Cell based therapy is the only way currently to grow back some cartilage, but, yes, there is no way to make a 78-year-old, bone on bone, knee grow back enough cartilage to look like an 18-year-old knee yet. The cell based therapies are the best currently, and, yes, there are some minimally, invasive surgical techniques to help grow cartilage back as well, which are all light years ahead of where we were five or 10 years ago. Having said that, agree, that it is disappointing. There is no “cure” where we can completely reverse the effects of arthritis. So, prevention is mentioned and that is, as once was said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” You would also be surprised how many people have no idea that there are injections such as PRP or BMAC which insurance companies and big Pharma are not wanting patients to know about, so, yes, it is a secret to many patients that they have no clue there are treatments that can help your body heal itself that are not covered by insurance purposely. They absolutely work better than standard physical therapy, Cortisone injections, gel injections, and even surgical treatments in many studies. There’s a lot of literature out there that insurance companies and big Pharma don’t want you to know about either. So, again, a secret. Glad you are searching for other alternatives and if you are going to be upset with anybody, I would be upset with the insurance companies and big Pharma, who aren’t doing enough to advance to where we can prevent arthritis in the first place with Gene based therapies and things like that. So there is absolutely hope, but insurance companies and big Pharma don’t want you to know that. At some point, we will get there, but yes, you have a right to be upset that these treatments aren’t fully here one quarter of the way through the 21st century. If we could get a man on the moon at the end of, the 1960s, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to cure arthritis 1/4 of the way through the 21st century.

Am really sad that cartilage hasn’t been made possible. Thank you though for being honest to educate to us about it and let’s not believe cartilage can be grown through food or drugs. Thanks 🙏🏼
Great job, joint pain sufferer for 10+ years, did many therapies, Triogenics, Shockwave, Prolo, Ozone, Red Light etc. etc……joints still lack flexibility and I am in constant pain. So there is nothing currently that can really cure an arthritic joint? Thank you for this honest presentation.
@@jamesgallant3553 no, we currently don’t have any way to grow back cartilage to the point where your knee will look like when you were 18 again, however, we do have ways of growing back some cartilage and remodeling the joint, kind of like the show “fixer upper“.

@@celerinonavallo1816 that is in several of our posts and videos. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate are not earth shattering, and there is no evidence that they grow back new cartilage, but there is some evidence that they may protect the cartilage that is still there.

A doctor told me that I have osteoarthritis in my hip. I have been exploring natural ways of dealing with this condition. One thing I have been doing is mixing peanut oil and honey. I rub it on my hip joint and on also on my knee. That is helping me. Maybe it can help somebody else. Just know that I had like varicose veins at the side of my knee. Since I have been putting honey on that area they have almost completely disappeared.
In a book on Edgar Cayce Remedies it is suggested to apply peanut oil on arthritic joints.
@@sparky7915 we are very glad that you feel better. It may have some type of local anti-inflammatory effect like other types of rubs and creams have, but it’s not treating the underlying cause if there’s truly osteoarthritis in there. That is the problem, it is not going to treat the underlying cause. it is just going to make it feel better or be like a Band-Aid effect.
Not that I don’t love, honey, both to eat, but also have used it on superficial infections, specially around fingers and nails, and it has worked very well. Obviously always consult with your own doctor regarding these type of home remedies first. Thank you very much for your comment!

@@marieeshercoia5375 unfortunately that can happen, even with surgery. Nothing is 100% (except death and taxes of course):
Some questions:
1). How much blood did they draw?
2) What was the dose they used (in billions of platelets)
3). Single or double spin?
4). What system did they use?
5). Did they use ultrasonic or fluoroscopic guidance when they performed the injection?
6). Leukocyte Rich or Leukocyte Poor
7). What was your platelet count prior to injection?
8). Did they get an MRI???
9). Do you have bone marrow lesions (stress/microfractures…”soft spots” in the bone under your cartilage? … if you do and those were not addressed, it would not be surprising if just injecting into the inside of the knee and not injecting into the bone marrow lesions did not help…we see this all the time (see previous posts…”Don’t forget the bone!”)
10). Did you have just a “shot and go” or was there any rehab, laser, diet, weight/fat loss if needed. Just a plain shot only is less effective than a “Whole-istic” approach.

Thank you very much. There was something about Cortisone at the end in the video, but couldn't make out. Can you please advice.
@@BecauseofHisLove777 thank you for your question. Don’t have time to go look at the exact quote in the video right this second, but can try to check on it later. Bottom line, however, is that Cortisone is bad. Yes, it decreases inflammation, but it also decreases healing, increases the risk of infection, increases blood sugar, which is bad in diabetics, can cause fat necrosis underneath the skin which can lead to deformities, and can cause light patches on the skin, not to mention suppress the production of normal Cortisone by our adrenal glands. I may have been referencing that there have been two studies over the last couple of years that have confirmed what we already know. Patients who received Cortisone injections into their knees, actually had more rapid development of arthritis than patients who did not get Cortisone injections. Also, if a patient is given a Cortisone injection into their area where we are going to be performing surgery, we have to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks to perform the surgery because of the increased risk of infection and wound healing problems. If a patient has had a Cortisone injection into their shoulder within a full year, and they undergo a rotator cuff repair, they have a much, much higher rate of not healing the rotator cuff repair. So, just a bunch of reasons why Cortisone is terrible in our opinion. We very, very rarely use it. It is technology from the 1940s. It is artificial.

@@terryhill4732 thank you for your comment. There are SO many variables. Not all “PRP” is created equal. Hopefully they kick in for you. Variables such as: How much blood, how many cc were drawn; how many spins were performed; what the cell count was; leukocyte rich or leukocyte poor; injected with ultrasonic guidance; Intra-articular +/- interosseous; MRI vs no MRI to check for bone marrow lesions/stress-microfractures/“soft spots” that cause most of the pain in arthritic knees, etc., etc. All things we consider, and then some, when coming up with a full individualized , personalized Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement, TM PROGRAM, not “just” a “shot and go”.
What about collagen, bpc 157 or other supplements, can it help?
Good question. We do not Rx peptides at this time, but BPC 157 is reported to aid in the recovery after exercise amongst other things. Interestingly, it is actually a banned substance for competitive/professional/Olympic/world class athletes, so that does lend to the fact that it sounds like it is truly a performance enhancer since it is banned. Again, we cannot comment on personal use because we do not prescribe it currently. It is also not FDA approved, so there are regulatory issues that also need to be considered. As far as collagen and other supplements, and some people would consider peptides supplements, that is a personal choice. Always read the package insert and/or consult with your pharmacist/physician/medical provider regarding any supplements you take. Since collagen is not a banned substance it is doubtful that it enhances performance, but some people do feel that taking collagen, even going way back to Knox Nutrijoint helps their joint pain and their flexibility. Nothing Earth shattering, nothing as profound as using cellular based therapy, but a personal choice. We hope that helps. Thank you!

Were can I get stem cell bone cells injections for my knee?
Technically, there are no true “stem cell“ therapies in the United States. Meaning, we cannot culture and grow stem cells currently, and then inject them back into a patient except under special circumstances, such as an approved research study for example. however, bone marrow, which has stem cells in it, can be aspirated and/or concentrated and utilized as well as certain forms of adipose tissue that also have a higher concentration of stem cells in them than other types of body tissues. Technically these are “off label“ uses, but as long as the use is considered “homologous” and Proper informed consent is performed, they can be utilized for the knee. We tend to utilize bone marrow because it has both hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells as well as many other types of cells and growth factors. For more information please feel free to email us at info@victorysportsmedicine.com.

I was told by a few Orthopedic Surgeons that we can never regrow new cartilage….? 😢🤔🤔🤔
@@Cindy-df1xk this is completely untrue. There are definitely ways to grow back new cartilage, whether it be surgically or nonsurgically, but, correctly, there is no way currently to grow back new cartilage to make someone’s arthritic knee look like a normal knee when they were 18 …yet, but we are definitely making progress compared to where we were five years ago and especially 10 years ago. There was just recently a study that came out that showed that the thickness of the cartilage along the inner/medial portion of the knee improved over the course of two years using ultrasonic guidance after a PRP injection. That is promising, and there are also several MRI studies looking specifically at cartilage regrowth that do show some regrowth, again, not perfect. To me, what we really need is a large scale arthroscopic before and after regenerative medicine technique study in order to measure this more accurately. Definitely not perfect at this time, but definitely can greatly improve symptoms, function, and overall remodeling of the interior of the joint in addition to, in some cases, growing back some articular cartilage, but I don’t know of any studies that show that we can grow meniscus back yet either. I hope that helps answer your question.
PS : to say “never” in medicine, and most things in life, is a mistake. Way back when it could “never” be that the earth was not flat, we know that’s completely false now in addition to many, many other “nevers”. Someday we will prevent or significantly slow down arthritis as opposed to even having to try to regrow cartilage back. Genetic/gene therapy, etc… it is coming!
What percentage of people does bone / stem cells work ?
@@janejohnson3087 since each person and each problem is different, that general of a question is impossible to answer correctly. Having said that most people do much better if they do a program as opposed to “just” a “shot and go”. even with surgery, if rehab or total body fitness is added afterwards, laser is added as an adjunct, fat/weight loss may need to be added, genetic base nutrition may need to be added, even bio identical hormone therapy sometimes can help a lot. There are other more controversial things like ozone therapy, etc. Having said that as well, this is a very, very general statement, but in the vast majority of people who undergo ortho biologic procedures like you reference, the range is probably somewhere between 70 to 95% success rate, again, based on the condition and circumstances. Remember, people are like snowflakes, people‘s problems are like snowflakes, no two are the same. Bottom line: our bodies have factors in our blood and cells in our body that help prevent us from breaking down every day. As we get older, they may not work as well, but regenerative medicine experts like ourselves basically just take those factors and cells, concentrate them, and inject them into the areas that need help. That is over simplistic, but that’s basically what it is at this time. So, we are really “just “helping your body heal itself, which is the amazing thing. We are just at the tip of the iceberg in this biologic revolution. Having said that, we are light years ahead of five years ago and 10 years ago and 16 years ago when Dr. P first started performing PRP. Exciting times!
PRP certainly did NOT do anything for me
@@neilboyd904 if you look through all of our posts and social media, you’ll see that not all PRP is created equal. If you don’t mind us asking, how many cc of blood did they draw, how many spins in the centrifuge, what was the cell count, was it injected with ultrasound and in what body part for what problem, was it leukocyte Rich or leukocyte poor? Also, we would agree that usually just “a shot and go” does not work as well as a holistic total program with, perhaps, PRP as 1 piece of the puzzle.

It doesn’t make sense that the body replaces everything except cartilage
@@BrianJuntunen Thank you for your comment! The body has a limited ability to replace or repair cartilage, particularly in adults. Cartilage, especially articular cartilage found in joints, lacks its own blood supply, which is crucial for healing. Without direct access to nutrients and repair cells through the bloodstream, cartilage repair is slow and often incomplete.
How Cartilage Repair Works Naturally:
1. Minimal Healing Capacity: Cartilage relies on the surrounding synovial fluid and subchondral bone for nutrients. Minor damage may heal to some extent, but the repair tissue is often weaker fibrocartilage, not the original hyaline cartilage.
2. Role of Subchondral Bone: If damage reaches the subchondral bone, the body might attempt to repair the area by forming fibrocartilage. However, this is functionally and structurally inferior to hyaline cartilage.
3. Age Factor: Younger individuals may have a slightly better capacity for cartilage repair, as their cells are more active and adaptable.
Advances in Cartilage Repair
Modern medicine has developed ways to stimulate cartilage repair, including:
• *****Regenerative Medicine: Treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) have shown potential in improving cartilage thickness and reducing symptoms.*****
• Surgical Techniques: Options like microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral grafting aim to enhance cartilage repair.
• Emerging Therapies: Gene therapy, biologics, and tissue engineering may hold promise for growing or regenerating cartilage in the future.
While the body has some natural ability to maintain and repair cartilage, it’s limited, especially in cases of significant damage or arthritis. Advances in regenerative medicine are providing hope for better solutions.
Can walking everyday grow cartilage?
Walking in and of itself probably does not grow cartilage. Don’t know of any studies that show that. Having said that, MOVEMENT is very good for the health of the cartilage we do have.

I am going to look into how I can do that best without having any copyright issues. Thank you very much for your comment and your input into this chat. If you, or anyone else, find more videos that you’d like us to review, please continue to send them. That one was a very good video! Have a great day!
Millions of people have a problem with the knee why medicine has not developed a product to improve the development of cartilage ? Surgery is not the solution and is out of reach for 99% of the people, I had PRP and no effect.
@@red-gw3uz great question and our goal is to be able to prevent the need for knee replacements by 2043!
Prp does not work waste of money
That statement is not true. Having said that NO treatment, EVEN SURGERY, is 100%. The only things in life that are 100% are death and taxes.
On a serious note, elaborate here…what was your experience? We’d love to hear more. Thank you for your comment.
It didn't work with me as well
@@jidhinmlcet there are so many factors. What a lot of doctors are calling “PRP” actually is not a high enough concentration of platelets which, depending on the condition, needs to be anywhere between 3.5 billion all the way up to 10 billion. Are they using single spin, double spin? Are they using leukocyte rich vs leukocyte poor? How much blood are they drawing? Are they using ultrasound to inject precisely? What is the rehab like, are they doing total body fitness like we do? Are they adding other adjuncts such as MLS laser? Having said that, we have found that adding cells, i.e., bone marrow aspirate cells, does seem to improve our results. Bottom line: not all “PRP” is actually “PRP”.

@@VictoryInMotion1 It worked temporarily for me, I think. The pain and inflammation eventually came down and I started being able to walk without my cane. Eventually, however...I tore my meniscus a bit more getting off the couch and the whole thing flared up again. I'm going to try another round soon to see. I have heard from a coworker that second round of prp did not help her. Another colleague said it did, so....I guess we are all different. It just depends.
@@CynthiaAva you are correct we are all different and our diagnoses and goals are all different. A huge factor is also what I replied above to @jidhinmlcet. Not all PRP is created equally and usually “just” a “shot and go” are not enough. I have been performing PRP since 2008, but in 2024 almost never just give it by itself. We almost always do an individualized, personalized Whole-istic program for each patient. If a patient has a displaced meniscus tear, PRP alone won’t usually get that to heal.
WHAT IS THE YTHE SOLUTION?
@@binachand968 get the government, big Pharma, and the insurance companies to actually get on board with getting to the root cause of most of the medical conditions, including arthritis, and treat the root cause and not the symptoms. Diabetes, most cancers, heart disease, 3/4 of all ACL tears are all preventable as is arthritis and many cases. Why is this not being covered? Also, our bodies have amazing potential to heal themselves, why isn’t that being pushed by insurance companies rather than Cortisone injections, which study after study, have shown cause more damage/harm than good. If you’re going to get upset, start getting the word out to your insurance companies and government officials to change the system, which is broken. Thank you for your comment!
HEADING, GIVES HOPE, BUT LISTENING TO U, WATCHING FULL VIDEO, RESULTING ZERO, NO CURE YET FOR CARTILEGES GROWING, SO, TILL U DON'T FIND SOLUTION. DON'T MAKE VIDEOS, WASTING OUR TIME, EITHER DON'T GIVE THIS HEADLINE, WITHOUT OPERATION, ETC ETC.
@@binachand968 the video does talk about bone marrow cells-BMAC / Cell based therapy is the only way currently to grow back some cartilage, but, yes, there is no way to make a 78-year-old, bone on bone, knee grow back enough cartilage to look like an 18-year-old knee yet. The cell based therapies are the best currently, and, yes, there are some minimally, invasive surgical techniques to help grow cartilage back as well, which are all light years ahead of where we were five or 10 years ago. Having said that, agree, that it is disappointing. There is no “cure” where we can completely reverse the effects of arthritis. So, prevention is mentioned and that is, as once was said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” You would also be surprised how many people have no idea that there are injections such as PRP or BMAC which insurance companies and big Pharma are not wanting patients to know about, so, yes, it is a secret to many patients that they have no clue there are treatments that can help your body heal itself that are not covered by insurance purposely. They absolutely work better than standard physical therapy, Cortisone injections, gel injections, and even surgical treatments in many studies. There’s a lot of literature out there that insurance companies and big Pharma don’t want you to know about either. So, again, a secret. Glad you are searching for other alternatives and if you are going to be upset with anybody, I would be upset with the insurance companies and big Pharma, who aren’t doing enough to advance to where we can prevent arthritis in the first place with Gene based therapies and things like that. So there is absolutely hope, but insurance companies and big Pharma don’t want you to know that. At some point, we will get there, but yes, you have a right to be upset that these treatments aren’t fully here one quarter of the way through the 21st century. If we could get a man on the moon at the end of, the 1960s, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to cure arthritis 1/4 of the way through the 21st century.
