What Is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is cartilage breakdown leading to bone-on-bone friction, pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. According to Cleveland Clinic, OA affects more than 32 million American adults. The knee, hip, spine, and hands are most commonly affected.

Our Osteoarthritis Management Approach

• Clinical diagnosis and X-ray referral to confirm severity
• First-line pain management — acetaminophen, topical and oral NSAIDs
• Weight loss support — every pound lost reduces knee load by four pounds
• Physical therapy referral for strengthening
• Corticosteroid injection referral for significant flares
• Orthopedic referral for severe OA appropriate for joint replacement

Mayo Clinic, NIH guidelines, Harvard Health, and the CDC guide our approach. Related: joint pain, chronic disease management, medical weight loss, medication refills. Call 321-363-3384 or see our insurance list.
