Introduction
When it comes to managing arthritis, patients often face a tough decision: Should they choose knee replacement surgery or consider non-surgical stem cell therapies? Dr. David Karli from the Karli Centre explains that thereβs no simple right or wrong answer, as the decision is dependent on each individualβs unique circumstances.
Summary
Dr. David Karli from the Karli Centre addresses the dilemma that many arthritis patients encounter when choosing between joint replacement surgery and stem cell therapy. Both options offer potential benefits, but the best choice depends on individual factors.
β Surgery: A Long-Term Solution with Risks
Knee replacement surgery offers a long-term fix, relieving pain and restoring mobility. However, surgery carries risks, such as the possibility of complications and irreversible outcomes if issues arise during recovery. While effective, it requires careful consideration, particularly for those with concerns about post-surgery complications and downtime.
β Stem Cell Therapy: A Minimally Invasive Option There is currently no comparative data that shows younger or someone elseβs cells are clearly superior to your own cells in treatments. As long as your cells are concentrated and applied correctly, they can be just as effective.
β Making the Decision: Factors to Consider
According to Dr. David Karli, patients should carefully weigh both options by evaluating their lifestyle, medical history, and long-term health goals. He emphasizes avoiding surgery whenever possible, but acknowledges that in certain cases, surgery may be the best or only solution. Itβs important for patients to consult with a medical professional to explore both treatment options and make an informed decision based on their unique needs.
Itβs important for patients to stay informed and understand that the use of your own cells is still a very viable and safe option.
