Osteoarthritis Care
Reducing pain, restoring possibility.
Move better. Feel stronger. Live with less pain.
Osteoarthritis can make everyday movement painful and limiting—but it doesn’t have to control your life. At CHLMD, we provide advanced Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focused on reducing joint pain, improving mobility, and helping you stay active without surgery whenever possible.
Based in North Palm Beach, Craig H. Lichtblau, M.D., P.A. delivers personalized, non-surgical care for osteoarthritis affecting the knees, hips, spine, shoulders, and other joints.
Understanding the condition
What is osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage. This leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion—most commonly in the knees, hips, lower back, neck, and shoulders.
While it is a progressive condition, targeted treatment can significantly improve function, slow progression, and reduce pain.
