Osteoarthritis and Knee Pain: Restoring Movement Through Integrative Care

Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint condition that occurs when the protective cartilage cushioning the bones wears down over time. This degeneration leads to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and limited movement, especially in weight-bearing joints such as the knees. As cartilage deteriorates, bones may rub against each other, causing swelling and discomfort that can make daily activities difficult. Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of the disease, affecting millions of people and often worsening with age, injury, or repetitive stress.

Many of our patients come to HealthConnection Integrative Medicine after being told they are “bone-on-bone” and that surgery is their only option. Fortunately, there are advanced, non-surgical treatments that can reduce pain, improve movement, and support long-term joint health naturally.

At HealthConnection, osteoarthritis is managed through a comprehensive, whole-body approach that focuses on relieving pain, restoring joint function, and encouraging the body’s natural healing response. Treatments such as shockwave therapy, peptide therapy, and hyaluronic acid (HA) knee injections help enhance cartilage health, improve lubrication, and restore smoother movement. HA injections are performed under precise C-Arm fluoroscopic guidance for accuracy and comfort, and are covered by Medicare and most major insurance companies.

This combination of targeted medical therapies and individualized care helps slow joint degeneration, reduce inflammation, and support the strength of surrounding muscles for better stability and flexibility.
