Knee pain injections are one of the best ways to target pain without long-term narcotics or unnecessary surgeries. It is no secret that the United States is currently facing an opioid epidemic. Recent medical research is now beginning to highlight the damage caused to our bodies by relying heavily on pain medication. In addition, knee replacement surgery and other invasive procedures carry  risks  such as blood clots, infection, and long rehabilitation periods. In the United States, knee pain injections cost approximately $1500. To receive the full benefit from these injections, 2-3 injections may be required. However, this is dependent on the type of knee pain. Osteoarthritis of the knee is a very common musculoskeletal disease affecting over 10 percent of the adult population and is a leading cause of disability within the United States. It’s estimated that more than 60 per cent of the worldwide population aged 65 and above has some form of the disease. TREATING THE KNEE PAIN Speakin

A cosmeceutical is essentially a skincare product that contains a biologically active compound that is thought to have pharmaceutical effects on the skin. Both pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical grade skin care products actively effect skin at a cellular level, whereas cosmetic products have a shorter-term effect. They are usually used by doctors to restore pH, remove pigmentation, or restore the skin barrier. Cosmeceuticals must scientifically verify the claims stated on their packaging; as it is accepted that these formulations are backed by science, clinical studies, and rigorous testing. The main areas of concerns that these formulations address are ageing skin, sensitive/sensitized skin, sun damaged skin, acne/oily skin, loss of tone and elasticity, as well as superficial lines & wrinkles to encourage rapid cellular turnover that will renew and re-texturize the skin.

Povidone Iodine has been well documented as one of the most effective of all antimicrobials available. Hospitals and medical facilities worldwide use povidone-iodine as a standard of care in infection control, even though it contains very small amounts of Iodine. Povidone Iodine (PVP-1) has been in commercial use since 1955 and is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines.

I2 occurs in trace quantities of 2–3 ppm, but even at these levels, it is considered the best at destroying bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
