Can stem cell treatments for arthritis bring relief to those suffering from the disease? For all of human time, the swelling and aching of joints has been a common experience. As connective tissue breaks down over time, the result is stiffening, pain, and immobility. The three most common causes of arthritis include joint injuries, age-related wear and tear, and autoimmune disorders. While some people are luckier than others, few people seem to escape it entirely, which is why stem cell treatments for arthritis are intriguing to so many.
Today, the most common kinds of arthritis are osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and psoriatic arthritis (PA).
