You change your oil — but do you maintain your joints?
In this episode of Live Better Without Surgery, Dr. Joe Albano breaks down why ongoing maintenance is essential for managing osteoarthritis — even after you’ve had regenerative treatments like PRP, bone marrow, or fat injections.
He explains why osteoarthritis can’t be “cured,” how insurance-driven medicine shapes your options, and how annual treatments can help you stay active, mobile, and pain-free for the long term.
You’ll also hear Dr. Albano’s signature analogies — from Star Trek to “calling cousin Joey” — that make complex orthopedic science simple (and fun) to understand.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why there’s still “no cure” for osteoarthritis (and what that really means)
✅ The difference between symptom management and regeneration
✅ How PRP, bone marrow, and fat injections help keep inflammation in check
✅ Why maintenance treatments matter — like an annual oil change for your knees
✅ What insurance covers (and doesn’t) — and why that matters for your care
