Degenerative joint disease.
Preserve the joint. Postpone the next decision.
Joint cartilage loss is the most common form of arthritis. Targeted intervention plus mechanical optimization can preserve function and delay or avoid joint replacement for many patients.
If this is you, we can help.
Joint pain worse with weight-bearing and activity. Morning stiffness that loosens with movement. Sometimes swelling, crepitus, or mechanical catching. Loss of range over time.
Your first visit.
Focused examination. Imaging review for the affected joint. Discussion of weight, alignment, and load — the mechanical contributors that determine progression. A staged plan from optimization through intervention through surgical referral when warranted.
Mechanical optimization plus targeted intervention.
Structured PT, weight optimization, activity modification, and bracing where appropriate. Image-guided corticosteroid for flares. Viscosupplementation for knee osteoarthritis. PRP and BMAC for appropriate candidates. Surgical referral when conservative options have plateaued and quality of life warrants replacement.
Stop accepting the downtime.
Preserve the joint when we can. Get you to replacement well when we cannot. Schedule a consultation at any Triumph location.
