Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, can I answer your health question? Please type your question here... I have very weak bones and I have been told I am not a candidate for surgery due to my situation. I have scolosis and I am on the prolia shot. I would like to know if stem cell would help build bones.
To increase strength of your bones stem cells are not helpful. Regular physical activity, Calcium rich diet such as milk and milk products, Vitamin D3 supplements should be incorporated into your diet to maintain bone strength. Recent years Recombinant parathyroid hormone is given in injection form in severe osteoporosis patients to increase Bone mass. Bisphonates are also known to decrease bone resorption. Stem cells are used when bone is not uniting or for cartilage defects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
