Look into prolotherapy people. There are so many cases where knee cartilage is partially restored. The same is true for hydrogels - they are already in widespread use in Denmark and have amazing results. Hydrogels do not outright regenerate knee cartilage but provide a long-term regenerative solution. There are options people.

I think its disengenuois to say cartiledge doesnt regrow. As it can obviously be strengthened and it does repair. When bones are broken cartiledge is one of the first things formed during healing. So cartiledge can be grown in the body. What is accurate is one cartiledge is gone from a space and that space is bone on bone. There will be no regrowth of cartiledge.

Being under and over active and not warming up our cartilage surfaces with low impact exercise will reduce the life of the cartilage as its putting more wear and tear than if you did proper warmups.

Was told I needed a knee replacement, opted for stem cells and it was the best decision I made. Got back full range of motion in my kneee, bike riding, hiking and playing basketball again. Enjoying life

PRP definitely helped my torn meniscus.

I really appreciate your honesty. I’m so glad I found your YouTube channel. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. 🌸

Regenerating cartilage like a salamander is a buzz worthy statement, but that shouldn’t discount the ability of non-surgical and non-pharmacological treatments to significantly improve or reverse symptoms over time.

What’s the alternative? Doctors will suggest cortisone shots and nsaid’s as the first line of defense, which may accelerate cartilage degeneration. You can then get micro fracture surgery which inflicts more damage to your cartilage to get an average of 2-5 years of relief. The more modern surgeries to fix cartilage are all unproven and don’t last much longe than that either. And that all puts you on the path to fusion, replacements, or amputation.

If you instead address muscle imbalances that might be putting pressure on your joints, maintain a joint-friendly exercise routine, manage stress, sleep, and eat well, you can have a better outcome then surgery. You just have to be patient, consistent and set your expectations to measure progress over years and not weeks or months.

While limited, cartilage does have regenerative properties. It’s made up of chondrocytes, which are cells that maintain and repair the cartilage. Nutrition is delivered and waste is removed by the synovial fluid. If you’re active and provide stimulus through exercising, cartilage gets more nutrition, ultimately leading to denser and more resilient cartilage.

I also think regenerative therapies like stem cells should not be discounted. Children have an increased ability to heal and adapt compared to adults because they have a higher concentration of growth factors, so putting more growth factors in adults might do the same? Side effects are a concern of course though.

It's my understanding from what I've read that it's currently impossible to regrow cartillage, impossible. But collagen can fill it in with scar tissue ~75%-85% as strong (like with skin). But, importantly you need to perform zero impact cyclic moiton at the knee for 10-15 mins regulary (so low resistnace daily static bike cycling) to get synovial fluid to deliver it as there is minimal blood flow at the knee. This also serves to smooth and align the scar tissue with the original cartillage, rather just clumping it on top weakly and eratically, which is what would eventually happen over a longer period of time with no cyclic motion. 10-15g of Collagen 1 hydolisate peptides daily, along with the earlier described daily cyclic motion, should give good strong results over time. What are your views on this?

Depends on the severity of the damage, but it healed mine. I did not buy the program but got excellent results with the youtube videos, who are you refering to?

There are quite a bit of junk out there. Thanks for reminder and for keeping it real! It is why I listen to your content, Dr Story 😊

I am sorry but you are wrong. There are scientific examples of chiropractors that have managed to regenerate spinal discs (which are cartilage). This was demonstrated in the study titled "Degenerative Disc Disease Reversal: Rethinking Human Physiology" by D.M. Meier from 2021: "chiropractic adjustments in order to correct biomechanics and improve nutrient absorption of the
intervertebral discs. This resulted in the growth of the degenerated disc, which increased the lateral angle between L5 and S1 by 80% coinciding with freedom of pain, free range of motion and an improvement of autonomic balance. This was documented by full spine X-rays and a pre- and
post-scan of the autonomic nervous system.
Conclusion: This study shows that growth of intervertebral disc tissue is possible without the use of medication, surgery or cell transplantation and
should be the beginning of rethinking functional physiology and the importance of translational medicine."

I don't buy product, tell me what movements work or what food is necessary.

Impossible is a word that must be erased from science.

thank you for your honest response. i have just been told i have no ankle cartilage left and my only options are replacement/fusion. is there any other way I don’t have to? my function is my life, my job, my passion. if there is any advice help you can give to help me avoid these please help.
i am 40 years old former athlete. thank you ❤

Do you think in the near future we will be in a position where we can regrow cartilage in knees and joints

[lance_]

Do you think that multiple rounds of umbilical cord stem cells would regrow it? or do you think it's a waste of money? I had one round of injections and it took my knee pain from about a 9 to now it's a 5. My knee pain isn't gone but it's not as bad as it was. So I'm asking myself do I do it again, or bite the bullet and get a full knee replacement. FYI I'm 40 years old (former college athlete)

Thank you! Reality sucks, sometimes, but it's so helpful to be able to limit the search.

Thanks for this valuable information...It makes my hip replacement surgery more tolerable

[dougmartin]

I tore a meniscus, had issues with both knees, due to lots of running, and ended up with arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Won't fully recover for six to 12 months. I asked my doctor of decades of sports medicine experience, whether cartilage regrowth was zero, or just painfully slow. His response was ZERO, period. If you're bumping into limits and want to avoid total mechanical knee replacement, you need to conserve what cartilage you have left by avoiding activities that damage it. Including some you may love, like running. Sad but true for a realist. Some go for bone tip drilling that floods the cartilage with blood and builds up cartilage like scar tissue. Others experiment with stem cells. Hopefully the future is better. But it isn't here yet.

“Standard of Care” - oh yeah, written by the Rockefeller who took over the medical and drug system in this country in this country in the 50’s. Don’t get me wrong, DC are good but many still operate under the notion of the Rockefeller dictum. My x-rays show improvement in cartilage after doing a series of things to help rather than hinder.
