ARTHRITIS

 

Many times when a joint is worn out from arthritis or an injury it can be replaced.

Fact: Almost every joint in the body is able to be replaced if appropriate.




Thousands of patients suffer from arthritis daily. It can affect any of our joints especially:

Hands
Shoulder
Knee
Spine

Options for managing arthritis vary. For example, people who suffer from arthritis of the knee may benefit from bracing.

Osteoarthritis of the knee frequently wears down the inside of the knee more than the outside and by “off setting” this pressure pain can be relieved. In this case custom bracing may be the recommended treatment.

Often, when routine “medical treatment” no longer works, patients benefit from orthopedic surgery, please visit the link “Total joint replacement” for more information.
