Today’s advanced knee replacements ease the pain of arthritis and give you the ability to return to the activities you love. As you read here about the three components of a knee replacement, you’ll learn what to expect during a total knee replacement.
Some causes of hip pain heal on their own if you give the tissues time to rest. Other conditions get progressively worse, especially if you keep using the hip. Read on to learn how to identify the most common causes of hip pain.
If you have a slow-healing injury or you struggle with chronic pain due to arthritis, it’s time to consider PRP therapy. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses your body’s own healing cells to accelerate healing in all types of painful orthopedic problems.
