FDA Approved Treatment for Knee Arthritis Offered Locally

Currently an estimated 27 million people suffer from knee osteoarthritis, making it one of the most common causes of disability in the U.S. It is estimated by the year 2030, 72 million Americans will be at risk for osteoarthritis. Patients with chronic joint pain often think nothing can be done to help them except surgery. A person with knee pain knows how often it gets in the way things. Because the knee is a weight bearing joint, knee pains effects almost everything we do that requires mobility, including those things most of us take for granted. For many, knee pain makes it hurt to walk, stand, get out of a chair or even use the stairs. Routine activities of living, work, social and recreational activities are often inhibited, or even avoided all together because of knee pain. The American Academy of Rheumatology recommends the use of hyaluronic acid for treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. This procedure has shown to be 86% successful in alleviating pain associated with osteoarthritis and is covered by most major medical insurance providers and Medicare. In addition to this recommendation, a recent randomized case study of 384 patients found that nearly 93% reported 50% or higher pain reduction. At Discover Optimal Healthcare, it’s very important to understand we are not just addressing knee pain. Our goal is to give you the best chance we possibly can of Preventing Knee Replacement Surgery in the future, which is what knee arthritis frequently evolves into if left unaddressed. For this reason, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to determine if you are a candidate for Viscosupplementation treatment for knee arthritis, you can always have a more radical procedure performed later, in necessary. However, with knee replacement surgery, once done there is no turning back to a more conservative approach. Knee replacement surgery is indeed necessary for some people with extreme conditions that Viscosupplementation is unable to help. But a total knee replacement is a very extreme measure to take without considering all your options for a condition as common as knee arthritis.
