Arthritis:
Arthritis comes in many different forms and can affect any joint in
the body. The most common form is known as osteoarthritis, which affects
virtually everyone over the age of 50.
Dr. Loniewski has pioneered a "10 Step Arthritis Recovery Program"
to treat arthritis and prevent its progression. Many modalities are
used in this program including weight loss, medication, vitamins, and
supports. When these modalities fail, other options including injections,
arthroscopy, and ultimately joint
replacement are offered.
Our philosophy at Advanced Orthopedics includes starting with the least
invasive treatments and only progressing to more advanced treatments
when these fail. It is far better to preserve the joints you have as
long as possible. However, if the need to replace them arises, our surgeons
will use state of the art techniques and the most modern implants to
get you back to the activities you enjoy.
