The Joint Preservation Program's goal is to ensure that people with joint pain receive the most appropriate care for their stage of the joint pain and degeneration. Often, this will be a non-operative practitioner who is very familiar with the problems of the specific joint involved based on the stage of the disease and the nature of the patient's symptoms. Our team approach to treating joint pain involves:
- Patient education; teaching individuals how to take charge of their disease based on increased knowledge of their activity levels and treatment options.
- Coordination and collaboration with primary care providers.
- Increasing use of non-operative care options when surgery is not appropriate.
