No matter what your passion, life is just easier when your mobility is pain free. That is why a big part of the Spruce Health Group mission is #HealthyMobility … because your movement matters! For me, (since ya’ know, I have a desk job), healthy mobility means pain free movement when golfing, pain free movement when gardening, and pain free movement when playing with my dogs! My shoulders, elbows, knees and hips sometimes disagree with my attempts to keep moving. For example, my Spring week-ends can mean 10 hour days doing yardwork. And then there is the consistent lifting of a wriggly Weiner Dog with IVDD, or, a personal favorite, the spinning of a squealing, getting-bigger-every-day three year old Grandson.  I’m over 50, and staying active so that I can continue to pursue those passions is important to me. If you find yourself struggling to move more than you used to due to joint pain, our Healthy Joint Protocols can help.

Our tiered options for joint pain give patients a variety of options based on their unique situation, considering factors such as age, goals and pain level (among other health concerns of course!). Our patients enjoy pursuits and hobbies that keep them mobile and like me, they really want to do it pain free. During the risk free initial consults, we will discuss activities and develop a plan to help get you there. While we are (as of this blog) not yet launched in Texas, we are adopting proven protocols from our sister clinics in the Denver, CO area … where the reviews and testimonials feature so many activities like pickleball players, runners, and even more active dog moms!

Our healthcare providers will take the time to get to know you and what problem areas are causing pain and holding you back from achieving your goals. Medication options for joint injections vary, but an important component for accuracy and your #HealthyMobility is our fluoroscope. Our provider and even patients can use this to see exactly where the medication is needed. Exactly what type of joint medication is customized. From legacy medicine like a steroid injections; HA or Hyaluronic Acid to lubricate the joints; PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma injections support your body’s healing mechanism; and the very advanced Interfyl®, an amazing Human Connective Tissue Matrix.

The fluid, medication or tissue matrix that is injected is a big part of the joint pain relief. But we have even more tools to stay on mission of #HealthyMobility … because your movement matters! To further support the success of our patients. We highly recommend physical therapy to incorporate our holistic approach and strengthen the muscles that support your joints.  And for the most common problem area of knee pain, we also incorporate bracing to offload pressure.

With healthcare options from Spruce, you can swing that toddler until he can’t walk straight! #HealthyMobility is an integral part of not just #HealthyLiving, but also #HAPPYLiving.
