Joint health is a fundamental component of wellness and vitality. However, years of wear and tear can diminish the surrounding cartilage that protects your bones. As more time passes, further degeneration can lead to osteoarthritis, among other complications. In addition, certain injuries could have a long-lasting impact on your joints and cartilage, which may continue worsening.
Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance offers pain management treatment plans for joint degeneration. Since we focus on patient-centered care, we tailor our treatments to each individual, ensuring we can provide the best outcomes.
From arthroscopy and joint resurfacing to joint replacement, we specialize in a wide variety of comprehensive techniques and treatment options to — restore function and relieve pain.
For Any Condition. For Every Body.
What We Treat
Treatment Options
Physical Therapy
A comprehensive joint replacement treatment plan usually includes a referral to a physical or occupational therapist to help regain range of motion, decrease pain, and increase strength in the affected area. Typically, the human body adapts and heals through movement, especially when guided by a trained musculoskeletal expert.
Prescription Medications
Your physician may recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications to reduce pain, inflammation, and more. This will depend on your specific needs, symptoms, and other factors surrounding your joint condition.
Pain Injections
Injections directly into the joint can help with arthritis pain. Based on your condition, response to treatment, and your physician’s recommendations, additional injections may be necessary. Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance offers ultrasound-guided injections to visualize the area of concern in real time and optimize your treatment’s effectiveness.
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine options, such as stem cell injections or platelet-rich plasma, can help repair worn or damaged cartilage. This option may work best if you are a younger patient with mild-to-moderate arthritis.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a scope-based procedure that can help repair or remove damaged cartilage in or around the joint. This helps prolong the degeneration process and promotes joint preservation.
Joint Replacement
Our Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance physicians only make recommendations for partial or total joint replacement when we have exhausted all other conservative measures, or it is apparent that surgery is the only available solution. This is always a collaborative decision. It’s important you feel empowered to make the best choice for you, with your goals and timelines in mind.
