(MINOT, ND)–Not everyone with aching limbs or joints is a candidate for joint replacement surgery. Accordingly, Trinity Orthopedic Associates is getting ready to launch a special clinic devoted to the non-surgical care of people with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition characterized by the wearing away of cartilage inside the joint. Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that increases the risk of fractures. Dr. E. Dexter Scott says that while Trinity’s orthopedic specialists have always provided non-surgical treatment for these two conditions, the O&O clinic will be unique.
Until now we haven’t had a clinic dedicated to the care and management of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, two very common conditions that can occur together or separately,” Dr. Scott explained.
