Whether it’s osteoarthritis from years of wear and tear, rheumatoid arthritis driven by inflammation, or another form of the condition, arthritis often makes even simple movements—like walking, climbing stairs, or opening a jar—feel daunting. Over time, the pain and reduced mobility can affect not only physical health but also emotional well-being, leaving patients frustrated and limited in their ability to enjoy life.

Arthritis may be a lifelong condition, but with the right support, it doesn’t have to define a person’s life. Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates offers the expertise, compassion, and resources to help Kennewick residents manage arthritis, regain mobility, and return to the activities they love. For patients seeking relief, BFOA is more than a clinic—it’s a pathway back to independence and confidence.

One of the most effective approaches Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates offers is non-surgical management. For many patients, arthritis can be controlled through lifestyle adjustments, physical therapy, and targeted pain relief. Customized exercise programs help strengthen the muscles around affected joints, improving stability and reducing discomfort. Physical therapists at BFOA work closely with patients to restore mobility while teaching techniques that protect joints from further damage. Combined with medications or injections to reduce inflammation, these conservative treatments often allow patients to maintain active, fulfilling lives without surgery.

For those whose arthritis has progressed to more advanced stages, minimally invasive procedures may be recommended. Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates provides options such as arthroscopy, where small incisions and specialized instruments are used to clean or repair damaged joint tissue. These procedures typically involve shorter recovery times and less post-operative pain compared to traditional surgery. Patients benefit from modern techniques that prioritize faster healing and a quicker return to daily activities.

When arthritis severely limits mobility and quality of life, joint replacement surgery can be life-changing. BFOA’s fellowship-trained surgeons specialize in hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, using advanced prosthetics designed to mimic natural movement. With decades of experience and access to the latest surgical technology, their team ensures patients receive safe, effective care that restores independence. Many Kennewick residents who undergo joint replacement at Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates report dramatic improvements in pain relief, mobility, and overall confidence in resuming the activities they love.
