If you are finding traditional treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee ineffective or undesirable, talk with Dr. Ruht about the BioniCare Knee System.  This unique electrical stimulation treatment is the first such non-drug, non-invasive option for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.  Many patients find tht drugs and injections aren't bringing the relief they need and they aren't ready or medically able to have knee replacement surgery.  If you are among this group, the BioniCare Knee System offers another option.  It is the first and only patented proprietary signal and system demonstrated to be effective and safe in multiple clinical studies.  More than 4,000 physicians have prescribed this unique treatment for more than 40,000 patients.

The BioniCare Knee System is effective for patients with even moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis (OA).  BioniCare relieves knee OA pain and symptoms by delivering to the knee joint a unique low level pulsed signal that is not felt by the patient.

The stimulator received final FDA clearance in 2003, indicated "as an adjunctive therapy for relieving pain and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee and for overall improvement of the knee as assessed by the physician's global assessment (clinical studies)." This personal home-use system allows patients to take treatments during their day in conjunction with an OA knee brace, the OActive.  Treatments are individualized to each patient's body as they adjust the level of stimulation.

Speak with Dr. Ruht at your next office visit to see if you could benefit from the BioniCare Knee System.
