Advanced Arthritis Relief Protocol

How does Joint Restoration Center treat osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and is known to cause a gradual breakdown of cartilage in the joints. Over time, the condition will typically worsen, leading to inflammation, more pain, and loss of motion in the joints. While arthritis can be debilitating, there’s a lot that you can do to alleviate the pain and improve your function!

Our team provides non-surgical solutions to knee osteoarthritis so you can avoid knee replacement surgery. The Advanced Arthritis Relief Protocol is a highly effective alternative that combines guided gel injections, bracing, and physical therapy to relieve pain and restore function.

The gel injections are called “Viscosupplementation therapy.” This procedure is minimally invasive and is both FDA-approved and covered by most insurances including Medicare. The gel-like substance (hyaluronate) works by replenishing your joint’s synovial fluid, the natural lubricant in your joints. Some research has shown it to be over 90% successful in alleviating pain associated with osteoarthritis!

As part of the Advanced Arthritis Relief Protocol, steroid injections may also be recommended prior to joint lubricant (gel) injections, to reduce stagnant inflammation in your joint. This helps your joint tissues to more effectively absorb and benefit from the lubricating properties of the gel injections.

Physical therapy is essential for a successful outcome when it comes to treating arthritis without pain medication or surgery. At Joint Restoration Center, we combine personalized physical therapy programs that fit each patient with a cutting-edge unloading knee brace and replenishing gel injections. Physical therapy reduces the pain and restores the motion in your joints, so you can get back to living life the way you deserve: pain-free!
