Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. While osteoarthritis can damage any joint, it most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips, and spine. Unlike other forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis primarily affects the cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
A meniscus tear is a common knee injury that affects the cartilage between the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia). The meniscus acts as a cushion and stabilizer for the knee joint, absorbing shock and distributing weight evenly. When this cartilage tears, it can lead to pain, swelling, and limited mobility. At First Choice Medical Center in Longview, WA, we specialize in non-surgical, integrative, and regenerative treatments to help patients recover from meniscus tears and regain their quality of life.
An ACL tear is a common knee injury, especially among athletes and active individuals. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize your knee joint. When this ligament is overstretched or torn, it can lead to significant pain and instability. Here at First Choice Medical Center in Longview, WA, we specialize in integrative and regenerative medical treatments to help you recover from such injuries without the need for surgery or prescription pain medications.
Pain after knee replacement, also known as post-operative pain, can manifest in various forms and intensities. While some discomfort is expected as part of the healing process, persistent or severe pain may indicate underlying issues that need attention. Understanding the nature and causes of this pain is crucial for effective management and recovery.
