With many people being affected nationally with knee degeneration, hundreds of integrated medical clinics have implemented nonsurgical alternatives to knee conditions. Medical Integrated Clinics have learned to specialize in treatment in Osteoarthritis, degenerative OA, degenerative joint disease (DJD) and musculoskeletal pain. The major conditions being treated are Knee Pain, Spinal Pain, Hip Pain and Shoulder Pain. These are approximately 424 million Americans suffering from Osteoarthritis. The goal of those treatments, with accurate diagnosis is to provide pain relief, increased motion, improve strength and function and measure positive outcomes. With a 6-8 weeks’ treatment program (with sometimes without fluoroscopic guidance) the patients can have incredible results. Of course Physical Therapy helps inflammation, increasing the range of motion and flexibility to function, and track functional outcomes. By using an FDA approved purified mixture, the minimally invasive injection into the knee joint, reduces inflammation and inhibits cartilage breakdown.
According to the American Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 30-50% of knee injections actually are missed without knee guidance. When this procedure is administered appropriately, the results are incredible. Major insurances as well as several federal programs cover these procedures. Reportedly a grate number of patients have reported 80%+ of positive outcome which has made attracted even more patients and created a tremendous source of referrals. Treatment results according to reports from 6 months-24 months will pay for additional rounds of treatment if and when is necessary. Of course this prolongs and possibly eliminates for knee replacement. Medically Integrated clinics have enjoyed a tremendous success from having these procedures. This results in not only increase of intake of new patients but also increased the revenue to the clinic.
