Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that results from wear and tear on the joint as we age.

The condition is generally diagnosed with x-rays which demonstrate osteophytes (bone spurs) and joint space narrowing.

Staying physically active, participating in physical therapy or home exercise programs, and use of topical and oral pain medications as needed are helpful to improve symptoms, but as the process worsens it can interfere with daily life.

We offer minimal-invasive alternatives that have been demonstrated to prolong or even prevent the need for surgery.

If you have suffered from tendon pain for more than 6 weeks, conservative approaches haven’t helped, and are interested in discussing minimally invasive treatment, please call our office (269) 883-6052 or contact us to schedule a consultation.
