Makes Arthritis Pain DISAPPEAR (Breakthrough!)
When you’re suffering from arthritis, it can feel like you have no good options.
You can just deal with the pain… or pop addictive and deadly opioid drugs… or you can go under the knife.
Some choices, huh?
How about another choice? Like NONE OF THE ABOVE?
Because a new study has revealed a powerful way to make arthritis pain VANISH.
And there are absolutely NO drugs or surgeries required.
Researchers recently put two treatments head to head against osteoarthritis: hyaluronic acid injections and platelet-rich plasma.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural part of the fluid that cushions and lubricates your joints. But if you have osteoarthritis, the hyaluronic acid thins, contributing to joint pain and stiffness.
The idea of the injection is to replace your body’s supply.
Some studies have shown that these injections work better than many common pain relievers. They’ve even been shown to work as well as corticosteroid knee injections.
The second treatment is called platelet-rich plasma injections. This involves injecting growth factors into your joint, causing new tissues to form.
Studies have shown that this treatment brings about dramatic pain relief — while also regenerating tissues broken down by wear and tear of arthritis.
Both are viable treatment options…but which is better?
A study published in Arthritis Research & Therapyset out to answer that question.
After looking at the results of 7 studies involving nearly 1,000 people with knee osteoarthritis, there was a clear winner.
Platelet-rich plasma injections.
Every study showed that platelet-rich plasma consistently improved levels of pain, physical function, and stiffness. And most studies showed significant differences between the two treatments in their impact on pain and function.
I’m not surprised, since this unique therapy can actually REPAIR joint damage while also encouraging the body to heal itself.
I’m not saying you should toss out hyaluronic acid as a viable treatment option. As I mentioned earlier, numerous studies have proven its benefits.
But if need something strong than a pain-reliever — and you’re trying to determine what direction to go — this study can take the guesswork out of your next plan of action.
And it’s a MUCH better plan than surgery.
To a brighter day,
