The Devastating Impact of Arthritis Pain
Too often, we hear the phrase, “nothing can be done.” Unfortunately, patients are frequently told that nothing can be done about their condition. This typical treatment offered by the traditional medical community includes medications, cortisone injections, and surgery. We are all aware of the risks associated with pain medications; they can be addictive and never address the root cause of pain.
What most people don’t realize is that cortisone injections can weaken tissue. They can weaken cartilage, and it is not uncommon for patients to receive repeated cortisone injections. Each injection tends to become less effective the more often they’re used until they no longer provide any relief. Evidence suggests that patients who have repeated cortisone injections are at a greater risk of needing surgery sooner than those who do not receive these injections.

The final step commonly offered is surgery, and many patients are led to believe that it is their only option. However, there are other alternatives available. There are less risky interventions with fewer side effects that can actually improve cartilage health and strengthen it. These interventions can delay the progression of the condition, thereby reducing the likelihood of requiring surgery. We need a more preventative approach – one that can truly enhance the condition.
Unfortunately, these healthier options are often not presented to patients when they should be the first line of defense.
