Patient Education

What is Osteoarthritis?

Arthritis is a wide-ranging diagnosis that can be applied to over 100 different diseases. But in its most practical sense, arthritis describes a general inflammation of the joints.

What Treatments are Available for Osteoarthritis?

Arthritis can be quite painful. Thankfully, a regular exercise routine that emphasizes deliberate movements can actually help your hurting joints.

How Do I Know if I Have Osteoarthritis?

Since osteoarthritis has no formal cure, it’s important that you seek treatment as early as possible in hopes of staving off the harshest of its long-term effects.

This depends on the type of treatment recommended, but if you are needing a simple joint injection, most of the time we are able to examine you, perform X-rays and perform treatment all in the same day. Sometimes we will need prior authorization from certain insurances and we will schedule your procedure in typically less than 2 weeks.

5. I was told by my OB/GYN that I needed a hysterectomy for my fibroids. Is there another option?

Yes, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) has been FDA-Approved for more than 20 years and has been proven to be a safe and highly effective non-surgical treatment option for fibroids.

6. I’ve had knee injections in the past and they did not work for me. What would you suggest?

There could be several reasons your knee still hurts. #1, it depends on what kind of injections you had. #2, it depends whether image guidance was used if you had the gel injections. #3, it depends on the severity of your arthritis. ARV Centers offers the most comprehensive non-surgical knee arthritis treatments available in medicine today. From image guided gel injections to advanced and cutting edge treatments like Genicular Artery Embolization, ARV Centers is here to help you get relief.

Testimonials From Our Patients

Every few months, I had been getting steroid injections in my knee. With covid concerns, my practitioner would no longer give the injections. I then got to the point I was severely restricted in my activities due to knee pain. I saw an ad on tv about this facility and was sort of embarrassed to call and make an appointment instead of going through my health care practitioner. I decided to go see what they had to say. The entire staff was very professional, everyone explained things well. The doctor did an excellent job of going over the procedure. I had 5 injections, a week apart each time, of hyaluronic acid. I'm four months out, and it's been an absolute miracle! I was so afraid that my next step would be surgery, but this worked so well that I'm no longer considering that. I heartily recommend a consultation to see if it's right for you.

Arthritis Relief Center of San Antonio, TX has been s true blessing to my husband and l. We have been patients at the center for approximately 4 years. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Florence Rios

Wow Arthritis Relief Center is a dream come true. I was having bad pain twitching in my knee when I played hard tennis. With the incredibly accurate knee injections and specific activities use of the knee brace I can perform all physical activities and run six miles with no discomfort. Getting pain free injections every six months is so easy and rewarding. Many days I don't even have to wear the knee brace. They are excellent at dealing with my health insurance provider to get me prompt treatment. If you want to stay active and pain free in your knees this is the place for you.
