osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It usually is caused by the breakdown of cartilage within the joints, which results in pain and swelling in the affected joints and, in some cases, in the adjoining ligaments, tendons and muscles. Typically, the weight-bearing joints are affected, with the knee, the spine, and the hip being the most common.

A complication in correctly diagnosing and treating arthritis is that there are so many other medical conditions that share the same symptoms, including bio-toxicity, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or an acute joint or muscle injury.

If properly diagnosed and treated, arthritis doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying an active lifestyle. If you already have tried different medications and treatments with unsuccessful results, don’t give up yet.

Our unique and individualized approach gets to the root cause of your condition (or diagnosis). We then provide patients with tools and knowledge needed to effectively treat themselves at home or at the clinic, depending on their abilities.  This focus on patient empowerment and self–treatment helps the patient get better in fewer visits.
