HOUSTON – Chronic joint or nerve pain?
Dr. Joe Fuhrman and Dr. Abhishek Reddy of NexGenEsis Healthcare join Houston Life to explain osteoarthritis, neuropathy and how specialized regenerative care may help.
Understanding osteoarthritis and common symptoms
Osteoarthritis is the gradual breakdown of joint cartilage that causes pain, stiffness and decreased mobility. Typical symptoms include joint ache that worsens with activity, morning stiffness that eases with movement, swelling and a reduced range of motion. Patients often describe difficulty with routine tasks such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries or getting out of a chair.
How joint and nerve pain affect daily life
Chronic joint pain and nerve conditions such as neuropathy can limit independence and reduce quality of life. People may avoid activities they love, change the way they move to compensate and feel frustrated by persistent discomfort. Nerve pain often appears as burning, tingling or numbness that can interfere with sleep, balance and fine motor tasks.
Conventional approaches and what makes NexGenEsis different
Traditional treatments for joint and nerve pain typically include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections and, in advanced cases, surgery.
NexGenEsis Healthcare offers specialized regenerative care aimed at reducing pain and improving function with less downtime than surgery. Their approach pairs detailed diagnosis with targeted, non-surgical regenerative therapies designed to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
When to explore regenerative options
Patients who still experience pain after conservative therapies or who want to delay surgery may consider regenerative care. A thorough evaluation by a specialist — like Dr. Joe Fuhrman or Dr. Abhishek Reddy — helps determine whether a patient is a candidate, what outcomes to expect and a personalized treatment plan.
