The OsteoArthritis Centers of America specialize in the treatment of pain and discomfort associated with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. OA Centersâ€™ board certified physicians and licensed physical therapists are specifically trained in the evaluation, diagnosis and care of joint discomfort associated with this disease. Our flagship program, called the Inter-Articular Joint Program, is a nationally recognized, accredited program that nationwide produces a greater than 87% positive outcome for our patients. Locally here at our Carlsbad clinic we are up over 90% in our first months of practice.

Our medical professionals work closely to coordinate the highest quality of individualized care for our patientsâ€”from their initial consultation, to their x-rays, and through rehabilitative therapy. Our accredited program for arthritis consists of hyaluronic acid injections (your bodyâ€™s naturally- produced joint lubrication) under fluoroscopic guidance. The image guidance allows us to see into the joint live, ensuring 100% accuracy of your injection: even well trained physicians miss the area 30-35% of the time if they are injecting blindly. We combine the injections with a unique rehabilitation program that is specifically designed to maximize the effectiveness of the injections. The ultimate goal of the program is to return patients to the freedom of motion they once enjoyed by lubricating the affected joint while increasing strength and range of motion; all of which decreases pain and improves overall mobility.

Our Physicians Treat: Our Physical Therapists Treat:

Osteoarthritis Shoulder Pain Low Back Pain
DJD Knee Pain Head & Neck Pain
Knee Pain Cardio Therapy Post-Operative
Weight Loss RA Multiple Sclerosis
Headaches

We welcome the opportunity to take you on a tour of our brand new facility and take a first-hand look at the only Alter-G treadmill in San Diego Countyâ€”a technological masterpiece that facilitates rehabilitative movement through simulated weightlessness. You are also welcome to call the office to schedule a consultation to see if you are a candidate for the program, which is covered by Medicare and most insurances. Alternatively, you may reserve your spot at one of our knee pain seminars: an information session designed to give you an overview of our knee program and how we might be able to help you.

Thank you for taking the time to review our information and for considering the Osteoarthritis Centers of America to help you return to freedom! Please feel free to call the office anytime and our staff will be happy to answer any questions.
