Osteoarthritis Treatment
Osteoarthritis affects more than 30 million Americans, making it the most common form of arthritis. The right treatment plan can dramatically reduce pain and help you maintain an active, fulfilling life.
Understanding Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage cushioning your joints gradually breaks down, causing bones to rub against each other. The result is pain, stiffness, and swelling, most commonly in the knees, hips, spine, and hands.
Treatment Options
- Joint injections with corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid
- Regenerative medicine and PRP therapy
- Radiofrequency ablation for long-lasting pain relief
- Medication management to reduce swelling and discomfort
- Activity modification guidance to protect your joints
