Regenerating Joints: Integrative Strategies for Osteoarthritis — From Conventional Medicine to Stem Cell Therapies

Osteoarthritis (OA), once viewed as an inevitable consequence of aging and joint “wear and tear,” is now being redefined by rapid advances in our understanding of inflammation, cartilage biology, and regenerative medicine. OA is no longer merely a condition to be managed with symptom relief — it is becoming a target for true biological intervention.

Our book presents a comprehensive and timely exploration of the evolving landscape in OA treatment. This book brings together the best of two worlds: evidence-based conventional medicine and the emerging promise of bioregenerative and cellular therapies.

In these pages, readers will find an in-depth analysis of the multifactorial nature of osteoarthritis — from metabolic and mechanical contributors to molecular and immunologic underpinnings. The chapters traverse the full spectrum of interventions, including pharmacologic management, physical rehabilitation, nutraceuticals, targeted biologicals, and cutting-edge cell-based approaches such as stem cell therapy and tissue engineering.

This integrative approach reflects a necessary paradigm shift. The complexity of OA requires more than a one-size-fits-all solution. By combining the wisdom of established clinical practice with the in-novation of regenerative strategies, this volume charts a path toward not just pain control, but true joint preservation and restoration.

As researchers, physicians, and patients continue to seek treatments that go beyond masking symptoms to addressing root causes, regenerating joints serves as both a guide and a call to action. It invites clinicians to expand their therapeutic arsenal and researchers to push the boundaries of what is possible in joint regeneration.

May this book inspire collaboration, curiosity, and continued progress in our shared goal: restoring mobility, function, and quality of life for those affected by osteoarthritis.
