BioniCare®
Helping people with knee osteoarthritis live active lives.
If you are finding traditional treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee ineffective or undesirable, talk with your doctor about the BioniCare® Knee System. This unique electrical stimulation treatment is the first such non-drug, non-invasive option for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Many patients find that drugs and injections aren't bringing the relief they need and they aren't ready or medically able to have knee replacement surgery. If you are among this group, the BioniCare Knee System offers another option. It is the first and only patented proprietary signal and system demonstrated to be effective and safe in multiple clinical studies. More than 4,000 physicians have prescribed this unique treatment for more than 40,000 patients.
How the BioniCare Knee System treats knee OA without the risks of drugs or surgery
The BioniCare Knee System is effective for patients with even moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis (OA). BioniCare relieves knee OA pain and symptoms by delivering to the knee joint a unique low level pulsed signal that is not felt by the patient.
Unlike all othersBioniCare's patented signal was designed specifically for the treatment of pain and symptoms of knee OA and for overall improvement of the knee as judged by physicians. It is not to be confused with other stimulators, including a TENS device that provides temporary general-purpose pain relief. To schedule an appointment to see Dr. Matarzzo about BioniCare please contact us at 561.967.6500

What is the difference between a sprain and a strain?
A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn. A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched or torn.
Strains are often the result of overuse or improper use of a muscle, while sprains typically occur when a joint is subjected to excessive force or unnatural movements (e.g., sudden twists, turns, or stops). Sprains can be categorized by degree of severity:
- A first-degree sprain stretches the ligament but does not tear it. Symptoms include mild pain with normal movement.
- A second-degree sprain is characterized by a partially torn ligament, significant pain and swelling, restricted movement, and mild to moderate joint instability.
- In a third-degree sprain, the ligament is completely torn with mild to severe pain, swelling, and significant joint instability.
What is sciatica?
In the low back, nerves join to form the sciatic nerve, which runs down into the leg and controls the leg muscles. Sciatica is a condition that may cause radiating pain, numbness, tingling, and/or muscle weakness in the leg but originates from nerve root impingement in the lower back. Nerve impingement is most often caused by a herniated disk or spinal stenosis.
If you think you suffer from Sciatica pain call our office today and schedule an appointment to see Dr. D'Ariano 561.967.6500
