Osteoarthritis is referring to degeneration of joint structure including cartilage and the subchondral bone next to it. Symptoms include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, inflammation, and creaking of joints. It was believed that the process is irreversible and typical treatment is focusing on pain reduction that consists of medication with NSAIDs, local injections of glucocorticoid or hyaluronan, and joint replacement surgery in severe cases.

As cartilage deteriorates, there is less cushioning between the ends of the bone that form the joint. The space between the ends of the bone decreases, and the ends of the bone become closer to each other. When there is essentially no cartilage left, the bones rub against each other. The term bone-on-bone refers to the ends of the bones rubbing against each other. Learn More

Many healthcare professionals have found that bone-on-bne conditions can be restored and the associated pain can be reduced or eliminated with sustained results without joint replacement surgery. With their innovative treatment approaches, patients can experience symptom elimination in 2 weeks to 1 month for mild and moderate conditions.
