Answer for Stem Cell Therapy for Bulldog Patella Luxation
Answer for Stem Cell Therapy for Bulldog Patella Luxation, Dear Adam
Bulldog Medial patella luxation (MPL) is a multi-factorial condition that can include an exceptionally shallow gliding groove, an abnormal size or attachment of the patella ligament to the tibia, short legs with severe rotation etc.
Answer for Stem Cell Therapy for Bulldog Patella Luxation, bulldog medial patella luxation of a Second Degree (2/4) is the type that “pops” to the inside when the knee is flexed. Over time it can become a third and even 4th degree all leading to damaged cartilage and bone, inflammatory reaction, joint fluid, and pain (“Bulldog Arthritis“).
Answer for Stem Cell Therapy for Bulldog Patella Luxation STEM CELL THERAPY & CRYOBANKING. Stem Cell Therapy with Cryobanking, PRP, tPEMT, Cold Laser Therapies are some of new age pain management alternatives now available at selected veterinary hospitals. Those nonpharmaceutical (rx) will not fix your bulldog and French bulldog MPL biomechanical problems; thus it’s not going to entirely replace surgery. What it will provide is reduced inflammation, pain relief, and some repair of the damaged worn-down bone and cartilage.
I usually recommend stem cell therapy as an add on to surgery. It also will allow me to treat the contralateral joint and store a few treatments in the cryobank for future problems. At times I will recommend it for bulldogs and French bulldog who are not a good candidate for surgery and are high anesthesia risk.
Other anti-arthritic and pain management alternatives are:
- Weight Control
- Modified Activities avoiding stairs, and activities involved acute weight loading twisting and turning.
- Joint Supplements like my V4B Total Joint Plus and V4B EFA Fish Oil for Joint & Skin.
- Pain Relief Supplements such as my V4B Comfort Plus Advanced Formula
- Class 4 Cold Laser Therapy
- Pulse Electromganetic Therapy (tPEMT)
- Stem Cell Therapy & Cryobanking
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
- FDA Approved CBD Oil
- Acupuncture
- Physiotherapy
- Pain relief and anti-inflammatory RX (NSAID, Gabapentin)
