Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter presents a 62-year-old competitive bowler with bilateral knee arthritis who avoided surgery by losing 60 pounds and using biologics therapies. She returned to bowling and her active life without replacement.
62 years old
About 60 pounds
Moderate bilateral arthritis
Almost a year
About 10 months
She has had friends who've had knee replacements and they've never been able to bowl again. She really didn't want surgery and so she could no longer do what she loves. She's a 62 year old woman. She came to us with moderate bilateral arthritis. She's been told she needed knee replacement. She actually is a competitive bowler and she has had friends who've had knee replacements and they've never been able to bowl again and so she really was interested in not doing that. She was also about 60 pounds overweight, having a really hard time with her metabolism. She really didn't want surgery and so she could no longer do what she loves. She decided to do one of our joint wellness and vitality packages. She's been our patient for almost a year now. We did several focused biologics therapies for her knees. Her glute pain now is zero. I think 10 months after her most recent treatment she has lost that 60 pounds and she's kind of back to doing everything that she needs to do.
