Medicare Approved New Technology for Knee Arthritis Treatment

Seniors have a unique opportunit­y (during the next 72 hours) to find out if Medicare approved treatment can end your knee arthritis pain and help re-capture your youth

-

If you suffer with painful knee arthritis, the next 72 hours may be extremely important to you.

Here is why: If you are like most seniors… you worked hard your whole life. You sacrificed. You did without. You paid your dues. You may have even fought for your country.

Now it’s time to focus on getting a little back. It’s time for YOU.

It’s time to take a step back and enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build and get back to doing all the things you deserve.

But retirement came with one BIG PROBLEM you may have not anticipate­d. For many, the pain and agony of knee arthritis has destroyed their so-called “golden years”. Let me tell you two things that are abundantly clear…

It’s Not Fair And It’s Not Your Fault

And I know it’s not the way you imagined life would be. Well, thank goodness…

Due to advances in medical technology and treatments, seniors right here in our area are now reducing pain, returning to the activities they love…and getting to live the REAL retirement dream.

For many, knee arthritis pain has already become a thing of the past!

One such medical advancemen­t for chronic knee pain is called viscosuppl­ementation. This exciting new option has already helped thousands in our area for three very important reasons:

Reason #1: It Works

Viscosuppl­ementation is an advanced medical treatment where our medical team puts a special Fda-approved lubricatin­g medicine

directly into the knee joint.

These lubricatin­g and cushioning substances are naturally occurring, but cleared by the FDA to make sure you get the highest quality treatment. Recent research shows that viscosuppl­ementation can also assist in helping the cartilage in your knees regenerate and repair!

This is NOT an over the counter vitamin or supplement, but an advanced medical procedure.

It is not uncommon to relieve pain and stiffness in the knees in just a few weeks, and the results often last for 6-12 months, or even longer. One study found that 2 years after having these injections 82% of patients were able to avoid total knee replacemen­t surgery!

Reason #2 Pinpoint Accuracy of the Injections

In addition to helping hundreds of patients find relief from chronic knee pain, our medical team has also perfected a method that allows them to target injections with precision

accuracy to insure optimal results.

We combine the lubricatin­g viscosuppl­ementation injections with advance diagnostic imaging called fluoroscop­y guidance that allows us to watch your joints move in real time, helping us pinpoint your problem. When it comes time to perform the injection, this technology allows us to see inside the arthritic knee joint and deliver the cushioning gel medicine EXACTLY where it needs to be. The added benefit is that this also allows the procedure to be virtually painless.

Research has shown that if injections are performed into the knee joint without this type of image guidance that the injection might miss the right location up to 25% of the time. With the technology used at Ohio Integrated Pain & Wellness Centers, no expense has been spared to avoid total knee replacemen­t surgery!

Reason #3 Viscosuppl­ementation Treatment is Covered by Medicare and Most Insurances

Medical care can be expensive, and sadly that cost often keeps seniors on a fixed income from getting the treatment they desperatel­y need.

The good news is that the viscosuppl­ementation treatments offered at Ohio Integrated Pain &

Wellness Centers are covered by Medicare and most insurances.

This has allowed countless patients with knee pain right here in our area the opportunit­y to get the best state of the art care without draining their life’s savings they’ve worked so hard for.

That’s why the medical staff at Ohio Integrated Pain & Wellness Centers is offering a special knee pain consultati­on

that is open to anyone in our area with knee pain who would like to see if the

advanced medical procedures discussed here can help you.

This compliment­ary consultati­on is no obligation and allows our medical team to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment…or if things are too far advanced and a knee replacemen­t surgery is your only option.

This consultati­on is one on one with our medical team, and the worst thing that can happen is you find out this treatment is not for you. On the other hand…you might find the answer to your pain that allows you to recapture your youth.

The number is 380-390-5560, and due to the high demand for these services, space has been set aside for the next 20 people who call to reserve their free knee pain consultati­on.
