What causes osteoarthritis?
The cause of osteoarthritis is unknown. Factors that might
cause it include the following:
s "EING OVERWEIGHT
s 'ETTING OLDER WEAR AND TEAR
s *OINT INJURY
s *OINTS THAT ARE NOT PROPERLY FORMED ALIGNMENT
IMBALANCE PROBLEMS
s ! GENETIC DEFECT IN THE JOINT CARTILAGE
s 3TRESSES ON THE JOINTS FROM CERTAIN ACTIVITIES INCLUD-
ing sports, work and leisure activities
What else is available to treat
knee pain?
After careful study and several trials the FDA approved a
new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This
new treatment is a high tech answer for all those who think
that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medica-
tions are the only option to eliminate knee pain.
How does this treatment work?
Advanced live motion x-ray technology with dye, or
muscular skeletal ultrasound allows our doctors to pinpoint
problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement
is then injected and the healing process begins. Visco-
supplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid
to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It also reduces
pain, inflammation, and swelling of the joint. Most patients
compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s
office and report little pain or discomfort.
What is actually injected into
the knee?
Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur natu-
RALLY IN YOUR JOINT 4HE OUTSIDE OF THE JOINT JOINT CAPSULE
is comprised of a sturdy fibrous tissue. The lining of
the joint capsule contains synovial cells which secrete
a thick, viscous synovial fluid. Hyaluronic acid contrib-
utes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes
the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates
the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.
Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost with those who suffer
from osteoarthritis.
