• OSTEOPOROSIS EVALUATION AND TREATMENTS
Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease that CAN be prevented and TREATED.
It is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break.
If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly
until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur
typically in the hip, spine and wrist. It is important to take action
now, to find out your risk for developing osteoporosis.
Speak with your orthopedic professional about osteoporosis. Learn about
the available prevention and treatment options.
• JOINT FLUID SUPPLEMENTATION
Viscosupplementation is an approved non-drug injection therapy
also known as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in healthy
knee joint fluid, and provides cushioning for the knee. In an osteoarthritic
knee, there is less joint fluid. Viscosupplementation injections restore
this fluid, providing lubrication and cushioning in the joint. Viscosupplementation
can relieve knee pain for up to six months. Individual results may vary,
but some patients feel relief after only one injection.
