Degenerative arthritis, non-invasive treatment "Invosa-K" pain relief expected

# Homemaker Park Mo (59) complains of severe knee pain when he climbs the stairs. Last year, he visited an orthopedic clinic because of persistent knee pain and was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis. I have received several injections of cartilage (hyaluronic acid) with the advice of my doctor, but the effect was only then.

Degenerative arthritis has a relatively high incidence of more than 60% (90% in some populations) in people over 65, and the incidence of the disease increases with l. increase in the elderly population

Degenerative arthritis is a disease in which the cartilage is worn due to gradual damage or degeneration of the cartilage and the bone and bone are in contact with the with each other, causing pain. When you lift a heavy object, climb stairs or sit and wake up, you feel a lot of pain when using the joint. This is because the cartilage between the joints is worn due to degeneration.There is no nerve cell in the cartilage, and when it is damaged, it may not be conscious or pain may not be visible.

The treatment for degenerative arthritis is usually a surgical treatment such as arthroscopic surgery, osteotomy and artificial joint surgery, but it is not easy for patients to undergo surgery .

Recently, however, the non-invasive treatment, Invosar-K, is applied to patients with degenerative arthritis who undergo surgical treatment. In the first seven months of initiation, treatment with "Invosa-K" exceeded 1,000 procedures, and the effect of pain relief in treated patients is on word-of-mouth.

Patients with persistent disease, menstrual contractions, patients with Persistent knee pain and young patients who are still undergoing artificial joint surgery can expect pain relief and an improvement in activity over 2 years. The procedure is also a direct method of injection into the joints by examining the ultrasound: there is little pain and no incision or anesthesia, and the procedure time is also short than 15 minutes, allowing a quick return from everyday life.

However, patients who have received injections during the last 3 months of the knee in the knees and who have had surgery in the past 6 months are not allowed to take them and those who suffer from serious diseases like heart, liver, kidneys or other serious complications. We know that it can not.

The best orthopedic surgeon in Daegu, Kyung Hoon Kim, said: "Although the procedure of Invosa-k is relatively simple, it is necessary to accurately capture the degree of joint injury in each patient and inject it accurately into the joint.We can minimize the side effects by having medical staff with sufficient experience and know-how. "" It's important not to end shooting, but to lose weight and prevent arthritis from progressing through the thigh muscle. "
