β€œStem cell therapy and PRP may sound similar, but they work differently. PRP uses your own platelets to support healing, while stem cells may help with regeneration.
In this short video, Dr Jerry explains the differences, how each is commonly used, and what to know about their effectiveness.

"Always consult your doctor to see which option is suitable for your condition.”

Important Reminder: Injections are not cures β€” they are tools to control symptoms, buy healing time, and delay the need for surgery when appropriate.

When to Move Beyond Injections

While injections offer meaningful relief, they are not permanent solutions if underlying joint damage progresses.

You may need surgical consultation if:

Pain returns quickly after injections

Joint instability worsens

X-rays show severe joint narrowing or deformity

At Alps Orthopedic Centre, Dr. Jerry Chen offers personalized joint care pathways β€” combining modern pain relief techniques with long-term solutions like minimally invasive surgery when truly needed

Not all joint pain needs surgery.
Today’s orthopedic injections are safe, quick, and precisely targeted to relieve pain and inflammation. πŸ’‰βœ¨

Here are some common options your doctor might recommend:

βœ”οΈ Corticosteroid Injections

Anti-inflammatory medication injected directly into the painful joint

Great for arthritis flare-ups, bursitis, or tendon issues

βœ”οΈ Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Helps lubricate joints and improve movement

Ideal for early to moderate osteoarthritis

Think of it as cushioning for your joints

βœ”οΈ Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Uses your body’s own platelets to support healing

Often used for tendon, ligament, or mild cartilage injuries

πŸ’‘ Quick, targeted relief β€” so you can move with less pain and more confidence

Important Reminder: Injections are not cures β€” they are tools to control symptoms, buy healing time, and delay the need for surgery when appropriate.

The hips are the central pivots connecting your upper and lower body. They:

βœ”οΈ Bear the full weight of your body in standing and walking βœ”οΈ Control balance and alignment from spine to toes βœ”οΈ Absorb forces when running, jumping, or moving suddenly βœ”οΈ Support functional independence (getting up, sitting down, climbing stairs)

When the hips weaken or degenerate, pressure shifts unnaturally to the knees and lower spine β€” causing pain, instability, or even falls.

Important Reminder: Hip degeneration often progresses silently β€” without severe pain until significant damage is already done.

Not All Exercises Are Knee-Friendly 🦡⚑
Some moves β€” especially with poor form or too much load β€” can strain your knees and do more harm than good.

Here’s what to watch for:
⚑ Deep Squats or Deep Lunges

Can place excessive pressure on the kneecap and surrounding structures if not done correctly.

⚑ Jumping Exercises (Plyometrics)

High-impact landings can shock the knee joint, especially without proper alignment.

⚑ Running on Hard Surfaces

Repetitive pounding without good shoes or strength training can overload your knees.

⚑ High-Impact Twisting Sports (e.g., Basketball, Tennis)

Quick directional changes raise the risk of ligament strains or tears.

Important Reminder:
βœ… Technique matters as much as the exercise itself.
Even β€œgood” exercises can cause harm if your form breaks down.
Take care of your knees β€” they carry you through every step. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

🦴 When Supplements are Not Enough
Supplements can strengthen your bones β€” but they can't reverse serious bone loss or fix structural problems.

Watch for these red flags:
⚠️ Frequent fractures or stress injuries
⚠️ Height loss or stooped posture
⚠️ Persistent back pain or hip pain
⚠️ Noticeable loss of strength or balance

If you notice these signs, it's time for a proper assessment.
Tests like bone density scans (DEXA) or spine evaluations can catch problems early.

🩺 Supplements are helpful β€” but early diagnosis and expert care are your true foundation for lifelong strength.
