Osteoarthritis

If you’re having trouble getting off the floor, Dr. Sharp at Apex Health, can determine if you’re dealing with osteoarthritis, call the Seminole clinic to schedule an appointment or use the online booking tool.

Osteoarthritis Q & A

Osteoarthritis is a joint condition often brought on by age-related wear and tear. If you have osteoarthritis, the cartilage, bone, and tendons in your joints start to break down and deteriorate. This causes inflammation in the lining of your affected joints, which gets worse over time.

Osteoarthritis is an often-unavoidable result of the normal aging process. If your osteoarthritis is causing you pain and affecting your everyday activities, call today or use the online booking tool to explore your treatment options.
Osteoarthritis can affect your hands, spine, hips, knees, and other joints. If you have osteoarthritis, you may experience:

  • Stiffness
  • A grating or bone-rubbing sensation
  • Popping or cracking with movement
  • Pain
  • Bone spurs (bumps on your bones)
  • Swelling

The symptoms of osteoarthritis get progressively worse over time. If you’re regularly experiencing these symptoms, you should visit Apex Health for an evaluation.
Ongoing or recurring pain can affect your ability to work, focus, and participate in everyday activities. at Apex Health, Dr. Sharp, offers several innovative pain management techniques, including cellular tissue matrix, viscosupplementation, Trigger Point and platelet- rich plasma (PRP) injections.

These injections use healing factors from your own blood to heal tissues and reduce inflammation.

After assessing your case, Dr. Sharp may also prescribe medications to relieve pain and discomfort from osteoarthritis. In addition, physical therapy can help preserve mobility and restore joint flexibility.

To find out what’s causing your pain and alleviate it, call the Seminole, Florida, clinic to speak with a provider or book your appointment online today.

Viscosupplementation is an FDA-approved procedure that involves injecting hyaluronic acid, a gel-like fluid, directly into the joint. Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body and found in surrounding joints to reduce friction that can occur during movement. The viscosupplementation injection lubricates the knee joint and creates more cushioning during movement, which works to reduce pain and improve your ability to move without pain.

Apex Health offers the highest standards in natural pain relief. We tailor each viscosupplementation treatment to match the needs of each individual patient. Our goal is to develop a customized care plan to help each patient achieve lasting pain relief.
