Arthritis Therapy
Treatments
Osteoarthritis therapy focuses on the targeted treatment of joint degeneration and the associated musculoskeletal complaints. Since worn cartilage does not regenerate on its own, osteoarthritis specialist Dr. Pittl in Innsbruck focuses on conservative and regenerative treatments to delay or completely avoid surgical interventions.
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common joint diseases. It primarily affects the knee, hip, ankle, and foot. Those affected often suffer for years from pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility without even knowing what osteoarthritis treatment options are available today.
Through his multimodal treatment approach, Dr. Pittl, as an orthopedic specialist for osteoarthritis, supports patients in reducing pain, actively maintaining joint function, and slowing the progression of osteoarthritis.
What is Osteoarthritis Therapy?
Osteoarthritis therapy encompasses all medical measures for treating joint cartilage damage and its associated symptoms. Through targeted osteoarthritis treatment, it is possible to reduce pain, improve mobility, and slow the progression of the disease. In addition to cartilage degeneration, Dr. Pittl also considers muscular, biomechanical, and inflammatory factors and creates an individualized osteoarthritis therapy for you that combines various conservative and regenerative procedures. Surgical interventions are only considered when all non-operative measures have been exhausted.
