At Plexus Bangalore and Hyderabad, we use mesenchymal stem cell therapy to help manage arthritis. Here’s a look at its many benefits: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit anti-inflammatory effects that lower inflammation, thereby reducing joint pain and damage. Owing to their capacity to differentiate into various cell types, including chondrocytes, the cells that make up cartilage, MSCs help in cartilage regeneration MSCs can modulate the immune system and contribute to a reduction in the autoimmune attack on joint tissues. MSCs help improve the tissue in the synovial membrane, a tissue that lines the joints, thereby alleviating inflammation.

2. What is arthritis?
Arthritis is an inflammatory and degenerative disease that affects your joints and hinders
movement. It leads to almost complete deterioration of the joints, which causes severe pain and
inflammation.
As the disease progresses, the bones in the joint endure severe wear and tear.
Patients find it increasingly difficult to perform regular gross and fine motor activities.
The disease is most common in:
● Hips
● Hands
● Feet
● Knees
● Lower back

3. Causes and risk factors of arthritis
Age is regarded as the primary cause of arthritis. Other causes include:
● Family history
● Autoimmune diseases
● Viral infections
● Occupational distress (job/sport that puts continuous pressure on joints)
Risk factors
● Smoking
● Excessive weight/obesity
● Gender (women are more prone to arthritis)

4. Symptoms of arthritis
Every type of arthritis has different associated symptoms. The severity of the symptoms vary
from case to case. The most common symptoms of arthritis are:
● Pain
● Stiffness
● Localized redness around joints and limbs
● Tenderness and warmth in joints and limbs
● Localized swelling

5. Common types of arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Most common form of arthritis, caused by the decline or loss of cartilage in the joints
Juvenile Arthritis
Corrupts the immune system (in children younger than 16 years); attacks the tissues surrounding joints
Psoriatic Arthritis
A type of inflammation that develops in patients with psoriasis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Corrupts the immune system by making it attack the synovial membranes present in joints
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Affects the back, typically the lower back; commonly referred to as arthritis of the spine
Gout
Results in the formation of hard crystals of uric acid in joints

6. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Arthritis
At Plexus Bangalore and Hyderabad, we use mesenchymal stem cell therapy to help manage arthritis. Here’s a
look at its many benefits:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit anti-inflammatory effects that lower inflammation, thereby reducing
joint pain and damage.
Owing to their capacity to differentiate into various cell types, including chondrocytes, the cells that make up

MSCs can modulate the immune system and contribute to a reduction in the autoimmune attack on joint
tissues.
MSCs help improve the tissue in the synovial membrane, a tissue that lines the joints, thereby alleviating
inflammation.
By addressing inflammation and promoting tissue repair, MSC therapy helps reduce joint pain associated with
arthritis.
Improved joint function and reduced pain can enhance the quality of life for individuals with arthritis.

7. Advantages of stem cell therapy
Additional benefits of stem cell therapy for individuals suffering from arthritis include:
● Better symptoms management
● Faster injury reversal
● Improved quality of life
● Enhanced everyday functionality
● Prevention of further nerve damage
● Speedy post-procedure recovery
● Non-invasive and painless procedure
● Zero side-effects
