Degenerative Joint Disease

Knee Joint Degeneration

Joint pain is the discomfort felt in one or more joints in the body. Joints are spaces where two or more bones meet such as the shoulder, elbow, knee, hip or ankle. Joint pain can limit movement and can occur with or without moving. Some symptoms described by patients are discomfort, inflammation, stiffness, soreness, burning, or pain. To minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of serious complications, seek early diagnosis and treatment.

Typical treatments involve traditional conservative care to include anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, physical therapy, and avoiding activity that puts a strain to these joints.

When pharmacologic and traditional non-pharmacologic therapies do not help, we at Wasatch Pain Solutions employ minimally invasive procedures that help reduce or eliminate this pain all together.
