Adventuring with Osteoarthritis

Find out more about Dr. Joe Albano in Cottonwood Heights, Utah: https://albanoclinic.com/Here’s an article I wrote for the Albano clinic: https://albanoclinic.com/10-best-exercises-after-a-stem-cell-injection-in-your-knee/Today Dr. Joe Albano and Alyssa discuss stem cells, PRP (platet-rich plasma) and other surgical alternatives to osteoarthritis. Research is now starting to be developed about these regenerative medicine procedures and have the potential to bring symptom relief if consistent conservative management like diet, exercise, and strength training have not helped your pain. These are exciting procedures to learn about and it is amazing the technology that continues to be developed! Please note, just like almost all other medical procedures these procedures aren’t guaranteed to bring you relief. Make sure to weigh the options in order to make the best decision for yourself.//Adventuring with Osteoarthritis Resources:Kicking off your Own Arthritis Adventure:If you are ready to begin your own journey to overcoming osteoarthritis, you've come to the right place!Join my online course, The Arthritis Adventure Blueprint, which gives you a step by step plan on how to make your active lifestyle possible again without being limited by joint pain.Learn more by clicking hereFree Arthritis Resources:Where to Start: Knee Arthritis GuideWhere to Start: Hip Arthritis GuideFollow me on social media: > My website> Join my Private Facebook Group> Follow me on Instagram> Subscribe to my YouTube channelTake the next step towards your arthritis adventure journey and make pain relief possible by joining Adventurers for Life.
