What Are the Different Cartilage Problems?

Articular cartilage plays an important role in joint activity, and its structure is fine. According to the different fibrous components contained in cartilage tissue, cartilage can be divided into three types: hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage (mainly distributed between the lumbar spine).

Cartilage regeneration

For various joint diseases caused by cartilage wear, damage, and deformation, traditional medicine usually uses pain relief medicines (such as glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, analgesic patches, etc.), as well as heat compresses, massages, and electrotherapy. The problem is that these therapies cannot restore the body's cartilage. For advanced patients, joint surgery can also be used medically. However, in addition to being expensive, joint surgery does not completely eliminate pain. In addition, artificial joints are "something outside of the body", with limited movement, prone to dislocations, accidental injuries and other accidents after impact, and they will be operated after a few years.
