OrthoHealth

Degenerative conditions of the lower extremity and back are extraordinarily common and the leading cause for orthopedic visits at IBJI.  Severe degenerative conditions can respond very well to surgery, such as joint replacement or spinal fusion.  However, for the more moderate cases, surgery may not be indicated, as the risks of the surgery may outweigh the benefits. Therefore, the painful hip, knee or back that has moderate arthritis can be quite difficult to treat, as it is not bad enough to require surgery, but remains painful and impairs lifestyle.

The “Grade A” proven treatments for the painful, moderately-arthritic joint or a painful back include: exercise that emphasizes low resistance motion, weight loss, and education regarding your condition.  All of these treatments are remarkably effective but are very challenging, in part because they require significant changes in habits and lifestyle. This is where OrthoHealth comes in.
