Joint Injections: Are They Worth the Risk?
Adverse outcomes hastening joint replacement have raised concerns

A recent retrospective study of 70 patients with hip OA found that 44% of patients who were given injections of triamcinolone with ropivacaine had radiographic progression and 17% experienced collapse of the articular surface.

"Thus, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that intra-articular corticosteroid injection can accelerate the progression of joint degeneration," Kijowski observed.

Many People Who Get Knee Surgery Don't Need It

Knee surgery is one of—if not the—most common operating room procedures in the US, and shoulder surgery doesn’t lag far behind.

Most patients assume the path to these and other joint surgeries is uncomplicated. Pain or discomfort leads to a doctor’s evaluation and medical imaging. If an MRI turns up sufficient damage or dysfunction, surgery is performed to clean up the mess.

But more and more doctors are questioning the value of this model. Their concerns are fueled in part by new placebo research that compares sham surgeries to real operations—with surprising results.

“In the sham procedure, the surgeon makes an incision and puts in the scope, but doesn’t clean anything up,” says Robert Sallis, a clinical professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine and co-director of the Sports Medicine Fellowship at Kaiser Permanente.

“What [these studies] found is that, in many cases, there was no difference between the fake and real procedures.”

Knee Surgery: The Real and Hidden Costs

"But My Insurance Covers Knee Surgery" - THINK AGAIN!
Well, that's partially true.

But here's the part that isn't: When you factor in your copay and additional expenses such as rehab and medication, your out-of-pocket expenses are huge.

Cost of Knee Surgery

-> $6.000 - $8,000 - Endoscopic Surgery
(Based on a 20% copay)
Actual cost of copay: $10,000
Cost of Rehab: $1,000
Cost of Medication: $500
Total cost out-of-pocket: $11,500
Additional Costs can include:
- Physical Therapy
- Medication & Hospital Charges
- Lost Wages
- Post Surgical Complications including infection

If you are considering Knee Surgery, think again. The costs associated are enormous. We recommend trying a Non-surgical, SAFER and MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE approach -Laser Therapy.

Why Osteoarthritis Causes Knee Pain

Osteoarthritis triggers an inflammatory process that can affect the knee's movement capacity, in addition to causing pain. Read on to discover why osteoarthritis causes knee pain.

Osteoarthritis, or arthrosis “by wear and tear,” is a systemic, degenerative disease that can affect any joint. It often manifests due to the wear of protective cartilage found at the ends of bones. When it occurs in the knees, osteoarthritis causes knee-pain.
Many different conditions and injuries may affect the knee. However, osteoarthritis is a chronic disease that affects it the most. In fact, one of the most common forms of this disease is known as osteoarthritis of the knee.

Its manifestation is common in middle-aged people and senior citizens. It’s also one of the main reasons for disability.

There are several available therapies and treatments to help cope with the pain. At our office we offer many non-surgical, non-drug procedures that require no down time and no risk to our patients.
