- ArthritisInflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. While this progressive “wear and tear” of your elbow may be associated with pain, it also commonly leads to significant stiffness about the elbow. The elbow’s normal range of motion becomes limited, thus making it difficult for you to use your arm to carry out normal daily activities.

- Hip ReplacementThe hip joint is one the largest joints in our body, and it works to move our thigh forward and backward. The hip joint also rotates inward and outward for movements such as sitting and helps us to change direction when walking. When your hips become compromised due to disease, injury, or wear and tear, you may experience pain and limited movement. Hip replacement surgery is an effective treatment option for restoring mobility and reducing discomfort.
- Knee ReplacementInjections primarily consisted of corticosteroids which simply masked their discomfort while adding to the deterioration of their cartilage, thus making their arthritis worse. Viscosupplementation was a simple lubricant that rarely was effective enough on its own. While total knee replacement remains a very effective way of treating patients with severe bone on bone knee arthritis, nine out of 10 patients that present to me do not yet require surgery. Thus, we were simply chasing symptoms until that patient’s knee cartilage was so worn out that they needed a knee replacement.
