COULD THIS BE YOUR KNEE PAIN SOLUTION? Dr. Olesnicky, MD has teamed up with Dr. Hashimoto, DC to deliver a unique non-surgical knee pain solution. With the drastic increase in an aging population, arthritis and knee pain are climbing towards an epidemic proportion. Most physicians will tell you that you are getting old and to just deal with it until you have to get surgery. The standard care for most is popping pain pills, getting steroid shots, exercise, and eventually a knee replacement. Dr. Olesnicky and Dr. Hashimoto were frustrated with the gap in care between mild knee pain to severe knee pain that needs a complete knee replacement which is why they wrote this book about the "11 mistakes people make with knee pain treatment". If you suffer from knee pain or are worried about surgery you are not alone. Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee pain and arthritis and most think surgery is just a right a passage...not anymore. The majority of our patients end up avoiding surgery because of our unique approach which integrates different specialties to get the best results for you.
