Arthritis Care
Arthritis Care Program
A real plan for degenerative joint changes — before the replacement is the only option.
What is Arthritis Care?
The Arthritis Care Program is a structured non-surgical plan for osteoarthritis of the knees, hips, shoulders, hands, and spine. Dr. Kanyon Smith combines Sanuwave shockwave therapy, joint mobilization, inflammation guidance, and targeted strength work to change the joint environment — so function, swelling, and stiffness can improve even when the cartilage itself can't.

Shockwave & mobilization
Sanuwave shockwave stimulates tissue repair around the joint while gentle mobilization restores motion.
