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.
