Did you know that weight reduction can significantly reduce the pressure on your weight-bearing joints and alleviate the pain and stiffness you feel every day? Studies have shown that losing just 5-10% of your body weight can make a huge difference in managing osteoarthritis symptoms.
If you're carrying extra weight, it can put a lot of strain on your joints, especially your knees, hips, and spine. This can lead to wear and tear of the cartilage that cushions the joints, causing pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. By shedding some pounds, you can take some of that load off your joints and improve your quality of life.
The 4:1 ratio in weight loss means that for every four pounds of pressure that our body exerts on our weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees, we can relieve one pound of pressure by losing just one pound of body weight. By shedding excess weight, we can significantly reduce the amount of stress placed on our joints, which can lead to a reduction in pain and further injury.

Post-operative Joint Infection (PJI) is one of your greatest enemies while healing from a joint replacement surgery. Adipose (fat) tissue is also full of compounds that can feed bacteria and increase infection risks to the operative site of your joint replacement.. The more adipose the higher the infection risk.

If you're interested in learning more about how weight reduction and robotic joint replacement surgery can benefit your osteoarthritis, contact us today to schedule a consultation. We'll work with you to develop a personalized plan that fits your needs and goals. Don't let osteoarthritis hold you back from enjoying life to the fullest!
