RELIEF® For Oestoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The condition causes significant discomfort as it progresses, and impacts the quality of life of millions of people worldwide, predominantly older adults. Recent studies have highlighted the possible importance of fascia in osteoarthritis, suggesting that tight or restricted fascia may contribute to complicating osteoarthritis symptoms.^1,4,7

The Role of Fascia in Osteoarthritis

Fascia, a thin network of connective tissue and collagen fibers, surrounds muscles, nerves, and blood vessels and may play an important role in osteoarthritis. Fascia may become injured due to strenuous movement, overuse, poor alignment, inflammation, and other factors. While healthy fascia is hydrated, spacious, and supports the comfortable function of joints, injured fascia often becomes stiffened and develops adhesions.^5,6 Once this occurs, tight fascia may aggravate osteoarthritis by restricting the movement of joints and increasing friction and pressure on the affected joint, exacerbating osteoarthritis symptoms.^8,9

Prolonged osteoarthritis discomfort can also lead to compensations and poor alignment, which can result in strained and stiffened fascia around nearby or connected areas, which may in-turn further exacerbate symptoms.^1,8

Understanding the interaction between fascia and osteoarthritis opens new avenues for treatment, focusing on improving fascia health to help address symptoms, compensation and associated discomfort, and affected joint function.

How Can RELIEF® Help Osteoarthritis?

The RELIEF® procedure may address symptoms and discomfort associated with osteoarthritis by specifically targeting fascia. The treatment combines ultrasound guidance, hydrodissection, AMUC injections, and more to release fascia restrictions, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing.^2,3

Initial Assessment: The procedure begins with a comprehensive tissue assessment using ultrasound to identify areas of restriction and dehydration.
Ultrasound-Guided RELIEF®: Our physicians use ultrasound guidance to precisely target, hydrate, and release tightened fascia to reduce joint tension. The procedure is designed to separate and release fascia layers, promoting healing and helping to reduce the symptoms accompanying osteoarthritis.

The RELIEF® procedure may directly address fascia-related issues contributing to osteoarthritis symptoms, to help improve joint function, alleviate pain, and enhance overall quality of life for osteoarthritis patients.

RELIEF® For Dr. Tom Best’s Osteoarthritis

Dr. Tom Best, MD, PhD

“As a former high-level athlete, I now suffer from severe left hip arthritis and osteoarthritis of the knees. My passion is running, but my arthritis causes a lot of soft tissue problems in both my knees and left hip,” said Dr. Best.

‍

By addressing the fascia surrounding his areas of pain with RELIEF®, Dr. Best saw both immediate and substantial improvements of his OA symptoms.

‍

“I could see immediate changes in soft tissue, particularly scar tissue, and adhesions around the hip capsule, which were released within five minutes. More importantly, I now have a hip range of motion that I haven't had in 15 years."
