Visco Injections
If you suffer from knee pain, have problems walking or climbing stairs comfortably, and don’t get enough pain relief from your current medication(s), you may suffer from osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
What is OA of the knee?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that affects the joints. It is the most common form of arthritis and affects nearly everyone by the age of 70. Normally, smooth cartilage or cushion cover and protects the ends of your bones and makes a fluid that provides joint lubrication and extra cushioning. If you have osteoarthritis, the smooth cartilage wears away and the joint loses its natural lubricating and cushioning fluid which causes a grinding action of bone and cartilage.
There are many factors that may contribute to OA of the knee including:
- Overuse of the knee joint
- Job or sports related injuries
- Being overweight
- Family history of OA
OA can lead to one or more of the following symptoms:
- Joint pain with movement
- Joint stiffness especially in the morning and with standing
- Limited joint motion
- Redness and swelling around the joint
Colon Cancer Screening
Colon Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but is one of the easiest cancers to dignose and cure if detected early with a colonoscopy. It is also preventable when pre-cancerous polyps are found and removed on a timely basis by an experienced specialist.
At SeretisCare Family Practice, screening for colon cancer is part of the routine care for all adults starting at the age of 45 and earlier for those with a family history of colon cancer or symptoms of bowel habit changes. Patients with a family history should be screened at age 40 or 10 years earlier than the age at which their relative developed colon cancer.
