Osteoarthritis
At our Raynham, MA clinic
Osteoarthritis anywhere in the body — a regenerative-first approach.
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease in the world — cartilage thinning combined with low-grade inflammation and bony change. It's often described as inevitable 'wear and tear,' but the biology is more active than that. That's why regenerative therapies that change the joint environment can meaningfully alter its trajectory.
Understanding osteoarthritis
Cartilage thinning, bone change, and low-grade inflammation — a joint-level problem, not just aging.
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease worldwide. It develops when the smooth cartilage that cushions bones begins to wear away, the joint space narrows, and the surrounding bone can form spurs or cysts. The result is stiffness, grinding, swelling, and pain that worsens with use. At Regenerative Medicine of Raynham, we don't treat osteoarthritis as inevitable wear and tear. We stage the joint with imaging and a detailed exam, then use regenerative therapies such as PRP, shockwave, and laser to address the cartilage environment, calm inflammation, and improve movement — often delaying or avoiding surgery.
