What is Osteoarthritis ?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that breaks down cartilage-the natural cushion inside your joints. The ending result can be pain and inflammation. Approximately 20 million Americans have this condition. Physiatrists offer a multi-faceted approach to treatment which can include:

Therapeutic Exercises-Our physicians focus on prescribing exercises for stretching, strengthening and range on motion exercises to help your joints work more easily and efficiently.

Medications-We will determine which prescriptions and non-prescription products are right for you.
