Common Causes of Osteoarthritis

• Joint injury and overuse - Repetitive stress to joints can damage and increase the risks of osteoarthritis
• Age - As we age, the joint structure can deteriorate and increase the risks of osteoarthritis
• Obesity - Extra weight can result in more stress on joints, especially weight-bearing joints, including knees
• Genetics - Those with a family history of osteoarthritis can lead to a higher chance of developing it

Can This Program Help Me?

Typically, knee pain that is not severe but does occur as a result of strenuous activity can be treated at home. Knee pain that is the result of a minor injury will require observation for a few days following the injury to evaluate whether self-care measures will be necessary and helpful. There are a number of self-care remedies, which include:

• Avoiding strenuous or painful activities
• Icing the injury for periods of fifteen to twenty minutes several times a day
• Making use of compression bandages to control and manage swelling
• Elevating the injury
• Taking NSAIDs or other over-the-counter pain relief medications
  
  

However, clinical knee pain and osteoarthritis, a serious condition that millions of Americans currently struggle with daily, which require more comprehensive treatment plans to achieve the best possible results. While some specialists may tell you that the only true “cure” for osteoarthritis is a total knee replacement; however, know that does not have to be the case!

If your symptoms include significant swelling, redness, tenderness, warmth surrounding the joint, significant pain, and fever, these are all signs of osteoarthritis that should be addressed by a specialist immediately. Another tell-tale sign of clinical knee pain is frequent, severe pain in the knees and joints. Contact us  to learn more about what we can do for you.

Who is a Candidate to Receive This Procedure?

Anyone who is currently suffering from osteoarthritis or bone-on-bone is a candidate for this treatment protocol; exceptions include anyone who has undergone a total knee replacement or patients whose knee joint material is severely decayed to the point where it cannot be treated. However, in the majority of cases, our provider will be able to treat most osteoarthritis and bone-on-bone cases successfully. 

​

As with any pain management treatment, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to treating knee pain. The cause of your pain will be taken into consideration in the diagnosis and treatment. However, there are several commonly prescribed or used treatments.

​

Your doctor may prescribe medications to help manage your pain and other symptoms or an underlying condition if there is one. In addition, therapy is usually recommended to help strengthen the surrounding muscles to help make your knee more stable.

What Makes This Protocol So Effective?

At Health In Motion Chiropractic & Rehabilitative Services, our provider uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging technology to pinpoint exactly where inside the knee the pain is coming from and exactly where the treatment needs to be delivered.

This allows us to deliver treatment right to the degenerated knee tissue, allowing us to provide relief through the hyaluronic acid knee injection with a significant rate of success.

Unfortunately, most knee pain treatments are often delivered without this technology, and the results are unpredictable at best.

Non-Surgical Hyaluronic Acid Knee Injections

There are 4 key components to our advanced arthritis knee protocol that make this process successful.

Key Component #1: Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found within the human body, particularly within many of our joints. The purpose of hyaluronic acid in joints, like the knee, is to act as lubricant and cushioning for joint surfaces. Hyaluronic acid injections use this naturally derived substance for pain relief by giving the knee joint cushioning from "bone on bone" arthritis.

​

Hyaluronic acid knee injections work differently than oral pain medications. The knee injections do not need to pass through your bloodstream to work. Hyaluronic acid knee injections can provide long-lasting pain relief for up to 6 months and be safely used for up to 30 months.

Key Component #2: Advanced Fluoroscopic Imaging 

At our facility, our provider uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging to administer treatment. This technology allows the administering provider to pinpoint exactly where the hyaluronic acid should be injected to maximize its effectiveness deep inside the knee where the pain may be originating.

Key Component #3: Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a necessary and essential portion of this process that allows for an improvement in gait, strength, flexibility, and mobility. The physical therapist will work closely with your needs assisting in pain management and improving the knee and hip pain to get you back to activities that you enjoy!

Key Component #4: Knee Bracing 

A specialized knee brace will be provided with treatment and will help increase joint space within the knee. Once properly fitted with the brace, it is designed to increase the amount of joint space within the knee and reduce pain from "bone on bone" pressures created by arthritis.
