Focus on…Joint Pain–Orthopedics

Do you have a knee, hip, shoulder or another joint that really hurts? Is it limiting your life?

There are many kinds of pain caused by different conditions. Injuries, disease processes,

deterioration of the joint itself, missing fluid or cartilage that keeps bone from touching

bone—some of which can be excruciating. Is this normal as we age or could it be something

else? And even if it is normal aging, do you have to endure the pain?

What can you do about it? There are many new treatments and solutions, some of which

you may never have seen before. Come learn from the experts of the TriHealth Orthopedic

& Spine Institute what can be done to help your pain.

TriHealth Orthopedic & Spine Institute: helping people of all ages live pain-free, active livesAs we age, pain in our joints can impede the activities of daily living that we all cherish.

Therefore, it is important for those who suffer from orthopedic pain to choose health care

providers that are equipped to help alleviate that pain as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Through its integration of physicians, hospitals, and outpatient locations, the TriHealth

Orthopedic & Spine Institute offers a broad network of services that people of all ages

throughout Greater Cincinnati need to live pain-free, active lives.

Learn the anatomy of the major joints. What do pain

symptoms mean? Learn how to describe various kinds of pain.

What tests help diagnose conditions? All these help determine

what you have and therefore which kind of specialist you

should see. What do the different specialists’ credentials

mean? What type of education do they have? Orthopedics,

Physiatrist, DO, FACS, Board Certified—learn how to the pick

the right physician to help treat your joint pain.

4. Keep Your Body MovingYes, we have said this before, and it is still the strongest thing

we can say—you have to move to keep your joints working.

Physical activity while watching television, line dancing,

gardening, and walking are all good for you. The key is to pick

one or two and keep with it—that’s what will help with joint

pain. This class will address fears and concerns, plus we will

even get up and get moving, so dress appropriately.

5. Low Fat v. No FatOne of the best ways to reduce joint pain is to reduce your

weight. If a manufacturer removes the fat from your favorite

cookie, does that mean you can eat five of them? NO! The

fat must be replaced with something to make the cookie still

taste good and have that satisfying texture. What do they

replace it with? Seaweed? Can you eat too much seaweed?

Our favorite dietician, Kathy Haugen, RD, will teach us about

calcium and Vitamin D, and also about the no fat/low fat hype.

Calcium and Vitamin D— More Important As We Age

Calcium is needed for our heart, muscles and nerves to

function properly, and for blood to clot. You can drink

gallons of milk, but unless you get the required amount

of Vitamin D, it won’t do you any good. Your body must

have Vitamin D to absorb calcium. If you do not consume

enough, your body will take it from your bones. This creates

a “Swiss Cheese” kind of bone that breaks very easily and

can lead to fractures, hospitalization and surgery.

You can get Vitamin D in three ways; 1) through your

skin (from sunshine), 2) from what you eat, and 3) from

supplements. The daily recommended dosage for those

over age 70, is 1,200 mg (600 IU – international units)

which is hard to get through diet alone. Egg yolks, fortified

milk, fortified cereals, fortified orange juice, beef liver, fish

with edible bones (sardine, anchovies) or cheese are good

sources. Supplements are usually the best way to ensure

you get enough Calcium and Vitamin D. Taking supplements

throughout the day is recommended, instead of all at

one time.

Osteoporosis and Arthritis Treatment through Infusion (IV) Therapy Chronic pain from arthritis or a related disease is all too

common. For approximately 50 million Americans, dealing

with dull, sharp, pressure or burning pain is a persistent

problem that impacts daily life. Infusion (IV) therapy has

proven to be a highly effective method of treatment for those

suffering from the chronic pain of many musculoskeletal

conditions. Very well tolerated with few side effects, Infusion

(IV) can help with the prevention of fractures of the hip and

spine, future joint damage and it can help slow the progression

of certain conditions. For those needlessly suffering from

recurrent pain associated with one of the following conditions,

Infusion (IV) Therapy can be a powerful option.

• Osteoporosis • Gout

• Rheumatoid Arthritis • Lupus

• Psoriatic Arthritis

TriHealth has 5 board certified Rheumatologists available

to help you. Ask your physician for a rheumatology consult

to see if Infusion Therapy (IV) might be an option. For more

TriHealth physician, go to TriHealth.com, click on Services
