The study found that all patients had an increase in function, a decrease in stiffness and a decrease in pain within an eight-week program. With the use of hyaluronic acid injections (guided by live motion X-ray), physical rehabilitation and custom knee braces, Arrowhead Health Centers has changed the way OsteoArthritis patients live their day-to-day lives.
The best part? The program is covered by Medicare and most major insurers. The eight-week program helps patients get back to normal activities pain-free and without the use of irreversible surgical procedures. A five-year study of the Arrowhead Health Centers OsteoArthritis of the Knee Program found that 91 percent of patients experienced measurable knee pain relief.
