What is Osteoarthritis?
The CDC estimates that over 32 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition, meaning the structure and integrity of your joints begins to decline, causing immobility, pain, and stiffness. OA occurs when the cartilage in your joint wears away with natural age or due to an injury. The thinning or lack of cartilage causes the bones to make contact with each other, resulting in rough contact, grinding, and inflammation.
Osteoarthritis is likely not the only aspect of your joint pain. Prior to the joint and cartilage degenerating, there were likely years of muscular weakness, compromised tendons, and ligaments that support the joint. By taking a more comprehensive approach to include diagnostic evaluation and treatment of these surrounding structures our doctors can provide a more effective utilizing occurrence
