Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis and causes problems with your joints, including knee, hip, spine, shoulder, finger, and wrist joints. It’s a painful chronic disease associated with inflammation and joint damage, but treatment can help relieve your symptoms.
The following signs and symptoms may indicate you have osteoarthritis:
These symptoms usually develop slowly over time. The earlier you seek treatment, the better your chance of managing osteoarthritis symptoms and preventing further joint damage.
You can’t always avoid osteoarthritis, as it’s a common chronic medical condition associated with aging. Factors that increase your risk of developing it include:
Health conditions associated with osteoarthritis include sleep disturbances, pain and lack of mobility. Taking pain medicine helps relieve symptoms, but these medications often have addictive properties and can produce undesirable side effects.
To help diagnose osteoarthritis, your Vibrant Health Care specialist reviews your medical history and symptoms. They use blood tests, joint fluid analysis, or imaging tests like MRIs and X-rays to determine if you have osteoarthritis and create a personalized treatment plan that best suits your needs.
Vibrant Health Care experts use a variety of leading edge regenerative medicine therapies to help your body heal naturally from osteoarthritis. Regenerative medicine treatments are customized to meet each patient’s condition and needs, they are non invasive and allow the body to help heal itself instead of relying on medications or surgeries.
During a regenerative medicine procedure, the doctor may use injections to deliver the appropriate therapy into an injured or diseased joint. Over time you may notice symptom relief and improvements in joint function. In some cases, your practitioner might recommend a series of treatments to help you achieve the most desirable outcome.
