How To Avoid A Knee Replacement

Did you know that total knee replacement surgeries are estimated to grow 673% to 3.5 million procedures per year by 2030?  Wow!  If you’re an orthopedic surgeon, that’s job security.  For the rest of us though, that initially sounds like a total knee replacement is an inevitable part of aging.  In fact, most conventional health practitioners would assume that knee degeneration and arthritis are part of the normal aging process.  Fortunately, there are things we can do.

Instead of thinking of osteoarthritis as an inevitable result of aging, lets take measures to target the causative agent - low-grade inflammation.
