Arthritis: Hurting All Over

For years, Osteoarthritis has been associated with the normal aging process.

Recent research has proven that this is no longer the case. Studies have shown that older people do not have to suffer from osteoarthritic pain. And, surprisingly, people as early as their late thirties may develop osteoarthritis.

The disease eats up cartilage—soft tissue on the ends of bones that come together in a joint. Normally, cartilage guides bones to glide over one another. In an Osteoarthritis patient, the cartilage breaks down and eventually deteriorates.

As a result, rather than gliding, bones rub against one another, initiating pain, swelling, and reduced joint motion. Although most patients with OA are 65 and older, recent research reveals that osteoarthritis is not necessarily correlated to aging.

Living with Arthritis — A Daily Struggle

If you’re between 40 and 80, arthritis may already shape much of your daily life. You’ve likely:

  • Tried cortisone shots, only to have the pain return weeks later.
  • Gone through physical therapy, with progress that didn’t last. 
  • Heard “surgery is your only option” more than once.
  • Felt limited by the stiffness in your knees, hips, shoulders, or feet and ankles.
     

The truth is that arthritis isn’t just about pain. It’s about what pain takes away:

  • Climbing stairs with confidence 
  • Walking without limping
  • Playing with kids or grandkids 
  • Gardening or Golfing 
  • Simply waking up without dreading your first steps

For many, arthritis creates a sense of hopelessness — but this is where new options begin.

Arthritis Treatments

Why Traditional Arthritis Treatments Fall Short


Doctors often follow the same playbook:
 

  1. Medications: Temporary relief, long-term side effects.
  1. Cortisone injections: Quick fix, but repeated use damages cartilage.
  1. Physical therapy: Strengthens muscles but can’t repair joint damage.
  1. Joint replacement surgery: Costly, invasive, risky — and not always the success patients hope for.

The problem? These treatments manage symptoms but don’t repair the underlying issue: cartilage loss, inflammation, and joint degeneration.

A New Path — Regenerative Medicine & PRP Therapy

At Concept Chiropractic + Regenerative Medicine, we focus on helping your body heal itself.

Regenerative Medicine and PRP therapy:

  • Deliver regenerative cells, cytokines, and concentrated growth factors from your own blood directly into the joint
  • Reduce inflammation naturally
  • Stimulate tissue and joint space growth GROWTH and repair while improving and enhancing joint lubrication
  • Helps patients delay or even avoid surgery

How Life Can Change After Regenerative Treatments

For many of our arthritis patients, arthritis pain treatment in Fairfax, Vienna, and McLean isn’t just about pain reduction. It’s about getting their life back.

Imagine being able to:

  • Walk around Mosaic District or Tysons without stopping every block 
  • Take the stairs without wincing from hip or knee pain
  • Play with your grandchildren on the floor — and get back up with ease
  • Return to hobbies like gardening, golf, or yoga that arthritis once stole from you

     

This is why patients choose regenerative medicine — because it offers real hope of returning to the activities that give life joy and meaning.

Case Example – Avoiding Knee Replacement

A 71-year-old patient from Vienna was told she needed both knees replaced. She had tried cortisone, hyaluronic injections, and years of physical therapy. After a series of PRP injections combined with chiropractic care, her pain levels dropped by more than half, and she was able to resume daily walks with her husband. Two years later, she still hasn’t had surgery — and she says she feels 10 years younger.

 

Avoiding Knee Replacement

Connecting the Dots — Arthritis Across Joints

Arthritis rarely affects just one joint. Most of our patients struggle with multiple areas at once:

JOINT PAIN

Knees:

Stiffness and bone-on-bone grinding

Highest Quality

Hips:

Reduced range of motion making it hard to walk

JOINT PAIN

Shoulders:

Difficulty lifting, reaching, or sleeping on your side 

Highest Quality

Feet & Ankles:

Heel pain or stiffness that makes every step a challenge 

That’s why Regenerative Medicine and PRP are so powerful: they don’t just mask one problem — they can be applied across multiple joints to restore quality of life

FAQs About Arthritis Pain & Regenerative Medicine

How is PRP different from cortisone injections?

Cortisone only reduces inflammation temporarily — and repeated use weakens joints. PRP stimulates healing, encourages new tissue growth, and offers longer-term relief.

Am I too old for regenerative medicine?

No. Many of our best results come from patients in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s who thought surgery was their only option.

Does Regenerative Medicine really rebuild cartilage?

While results vary, Regenerative Medicine and PRP have been shown to regenerate joint tissue, slow cartilage loss and improve joint function.

Can Regenerative Medicine delay or prevent joint replacement surgery?

Yes. Many of our patients choose regenerative care specifically to avoid or postpone surgery — sometimes for years.

How long do results last?

Relief often lasts 18-36 months, with some patients reporting benefits for longer. Maintenance treatments can extend results even further.

Take the First Step Toward Hope

You don’t have to accept arthritis pain as your “new normal.” With regenerative medicine and PRP, there is a safe, non-surgical path to living with less pain and more freedom.

A COMMON ISSUE MEANS COMMON PROBLEMS

Arthritis is one of the most severe and debilitating kinds of chronic pain you can develop and unlike other forms that only target certain regions of the body, arthritis can develop in any of your joints. Unfortunately, since it is so prevalent among adults, it can be difficult to get an accurate diagnosis as symptoms for arthritis overlap with several other forms of chronic pain. Below are the most common symptoms of Arthritis:

  • Constant or Intermittent joint pain
  • Joint stiffness after extended periods of no movement, sitting, or sleeping
  • Joint tenderness or Swelling
  • Crunching sensation or the sound of bones rubbing against one another

No Pills, No Surgeries, No Problem

The regenerative cell treatment we perform is a natural alternative to surgery, pain medications, and cortisone/steroid injections. Regenerative cell treatments help reduce inflammation while removing or decreasing stiffness and pain. Cells that we inject have high growth factors which helps to minimize inflammation while healing the joint. The treatment is non-invasive and can be performed in our clinic. It doesn’t take very long to act so it won’t be long before you start living your life free from any chronic inflammation and arthritis again. It is a drugless treatment that actually heals the body instead of just masking the symptoms.
