At Gonstead Chiropractic & Wellness ATX in Austin, TX, we help patients manage knee, hip, and shoulder pain using advanced non-surgical treatments. Chronic joint discomfort can result from arthritis, tendon injuries, or past trauma, making daily activities difficult.
Regenerative medicine therapies, including Human Cellular Tissue (HCT) therapy with Wharton’s Jelly-derived MSCs and PRP therapy, provide effective options to reduce pain, stimulate healing, and restore joint function without surgery.
Human Cellular Tissue (HCT) Therapy
HCT therapy uses mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton’s Jelly to repair damaged joint tissue. Benefits include:
- Promotes cartilage, tendon, and ligament healing
- Reduces inflammation in affected joints
- Improves joint mobility and flexibility
- Potentially delays or prevents the need for surgery
PRP Therapy for Healing and Pain Relief
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy utilizes the patient’s own platelets to accelerate tissue repair. It can be particularly helpful for:
- Knee osteoarthritis or ligament injuries
- Hip bursitis or tendinopathy
- Shoulder rotator cuff injuries or frozen shoulder
- Reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen production
Knee Pain: Non-Surgical Options
The knee is prone to chronic pain due to arthritis, meniscus tears, and ligament injuries. Non-surgical treatments include:
- HCT therapy to regenerate damaged tissue
- PRP therapy to reduce pain and promote healing
- Targeted physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles
- Supportive measures like bracing or low-impact activity
Hip Pain Relief
Hip pain affects walking, sitting, and overall mobility. Non-surgical interventions can include:
- HCT therapy to promote tissue repair in the joint
- PRP injections to reduce inflammation and encourage healing
- Physical therapy and exercises to stabilize and strengthen the hip
- Lifestyle modifications, such as weight management and low-impact exercise
Shoulder Pain and Recovery
Shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff tears or frozen shoulder can limit daily function. Non-surgical options include:
- PRP therapy to stimulate tissue regeneration
- HCT therapy to support healing of tendons and ligaments
- Targeted exercises to restore range of motion
- Activity modification to prevent further injury
