Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone in which you lose too much bone as you age, making your bones more porous than they should be and weakening their underlying structure. The more porous your bones become, the more likely they are to break.

If you are over the age of 50 and are treated for a fracture known to be indicative of osteoporosis, your physician may refer you for a Bone Health consultation. During your bone health consultation, a provider will work with you to:

• Educate you on osteoporosis and why you are considered at risk.
• Evaluate your specific case with a detailed history, physical, and referral for any additional testing necessary.
• Establish a treatment plan, which might include lifestyle changes and medication to prevent further bone loss or even rebuild bone.

If you are over the age of 50 and experience one of the following types of fractures, you should be screened for osteoporosis:

• Wrist (Distal Radius) Fracture
• Spine (Vertebral) Fracture
• Hip Fracture
• Shoulder (Proximal Humerus) Fracture

That's why TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine created the Bone Health Program. Nationally Recognized Expertise in Preventing Fractures.

The Imaging Centers at TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine offer non-invasive and painless diagnostic procedures through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computerized Tomography (CT) to be completed for your diagnostic workup.

These imaging services will allow your physician to confirm bone and soft-tissue injuries or diseases that may not be found by a regular X-ray or physical exam.

For patients presenting with joint pain due to arthritis, the first step is usually conservative treatment, which includes but is not limited to medication and physical therapy (or a home exercise program).

If conservative treatment is not successful, you will likely proceed to interventional methods or joint injections. The most common joint injections both seek to alleviate pain and increase range of motion. They are:

Steroid Injections (or corticosteroid injections) are used to treat inflammation, arthritis, and joint disease. They are commonly used in the knee, hip, and shoulder to relieve pain and swelling, but can also be used to treat pain in other joints including the elbow, wrist, and ankle.

There are benefits and drawbacks to steroid injections, including:

• Fast Relief – Steroid injections typically offer relief within 24-48 hours of the injection.
• Short-Term Relief – Pain relief from a steroid injection can last from 6-12 weeks.
• Limitations on Repeat Use – Steroid injections are often most effective the first time, with subsequent injections losing their efficacy. These injections also cannot be given too frequently without a risk of weakening the surrounding structures of the joint.

Hyaluronic acid injections (also referred to as viscosupplementation) are used to treat osteoarthritis most commonly in the knee. The hyaluronic acid is injected back into the painful joint, coating and lubricating it to reduce friction and pain and increase the range of motion.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricating component in the lining of your joints. However, as we age, our bodies produce this substance at a lower quantity and quality. In patients suffering from osteoarthritis, the hyaluronic acid thins even further, causing friction and pain as the joint operates.

Currently, the FDA has only approved viscosupplementation for use on the knee, but there is evidence to support its use in the hip and shoulder as well. These injections can be given safely if steroid injections have proven ineffective.

Speak to your physician to find out if hyaluronic acid injections may be a good option for you.

In most cases, insurance plans will cover the approved use of steroid injections and viscosupplementation. However, every insurance company has its own standards and guidelines, so it is best to verify your individual coverage prior to scheduling your joint injection.

Orthopedic Primary Care is a full-service clinic that covers a broad array of different Orthopaedic needs. Orthopedic Primary Care is the first line of defense for Orthopedic wellness. We treat every body part excluding the spine, and are even capable of accepting PRP Referrals.

PRP stands for “Platelet Rich Plasma”. This process takes the patient’s own blood, spins it in a centrifuge, then takes the serum with the highest platelet counts and injects it into the affected area to aid the healing process. 

Orthopedic Primary Care may be right for you if you experience any of the following symptoms.

• Pain in the extremities
• Concerned about a strain or sprain
• Acute injury
• PRP injection referrals
• Fractures
• Other Orthopedic needs, excluding spine
