Integrative Sports and Spine provides specialized arthritis treatment in City of Industry, CA for patients across the eastern San Gabriel Valley dealing with osteoarthritis, post-traumatic joint disease, occupational joint conditions, and chronic joint pain. Our interventional pain physicians identify the specific joints and structures generating your pain and deliver precise, image guided procedures designed to reduce inflammation, protect the joint, and restore function with minimal disruption to your work and your daily life.
The eastern San Gabriel Valley is one of Southern California's most physically demanding work corridors, and arthritis can carry a particular burden here. Workers often cannot afford long periods of rest while managing jobs, families, and financial responsibilities. As a result, many try to work around their pain by changing how they lift, bend, walk, and move rather than addressing the underlying joint problem.
Over time, these adaptations can create new problems. Compensating for one painful joint may place additional stress on surrounding joints, while relying on over-the-counter medications can bring unwanted side effects. Osteoarthritis is progressive, and years of managing around the pain can leave patients dealing with both joint degeneration and the effects of altered movement patterns.
Our City of Industry clinic exists to interrupt that pattern. We provide targeted interventional care that addresses the specific joints generating the most pain, produces meaningful improvement with minimal recovery time, and builds a treatment plan around the real constraints of a working patient's life.
Our interventional pain physicians evaluate and treat the full range of arthritis and degenerative joint conditions affecting City of Industry and eastern San Gabriel Valley patients, including those driven by occupational demands, physical work, trauma, and progressive joint degeneration:
Whether your arthritis developed over years of physical work, resulted from a specific workplace or vehicle injury, or represents a combination of both, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify exactly which joints and structures are driving your pain and which nonsurgical treatments are most appropriate.

Yes. Post-traumatic arthritis develops after an injury such as a fracture, ligament tear, dislocation, or cartilage damage and can appear years after the original injury. While it may develop earlier than typical age-related osteoarthritis, treatment focuses on the specific joints and structures causing your pain.
A comprehensive evaluation can help determine whether appropriate nonsurgical options have been fully explored before surgery. Depending on your condition, treatments may include image-guided injections, viscosupplementation, PRP, or nerve-based procedures. If joint replacement is truly the best option, we will explain why and can coordinate an orthopedic referral.
Most patients can return to light-duty work within 24 to 48 hours, although the timeline varies by procedure and joint treated. Heavy lifting, prolonged kneeling, and other strenuous activities may require additional recovery time. Your physician will provide specific guidance based on your treatment and job demands.
Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation may be appropriate for chronic knee osteoarthritis when other treatments have not provided lasting relief. It uses radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain signals from specific nerves around the knee without changing the joint itself. Appropriate candidates typically first undergo a diagnostic nerve block.
Yes. Work-related arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis may qualify for workers compensation when the condition is appropriately documented. Our City of Industry team can help support your clinical care and provide the documentation required for your claim.
In many cases, yes. Your physician will determine whether treating multiple joints during one visit is appropriate based on the procedures involved, your overall health, and recovery requirements. When needed, treatments can also be staged to monitor each joint's response.
Treated for post-traumatic knee arthritis with PRP and genicular nerve RFA
“I injured my knee in a forklift accident seven years ago, and the arthritis kept getting worse. When replacement was brought up, I came here to explore other options. After a diagnostic block confirmed the treatment could help, we proceeded with RFA. Fourteen months later, my knee is functional again, and I have been able to keep working.”
Treated for hip and lumbar facet arthritis
“My hip and back pain had been limiting how long I could stay on the floor at work. Here, my physician identified that some of my hip pain was actually coming from my lumbar facet joints. Treating the spine first made a significant difference, and a follow-up hip injection resolved the remaining pain. Finally understanding where my pain was coming from made all the difference.”
Treated for knee osteoarthritis with viscosupplementation
“My knee had been swollen and painful after every delivery route for almost a year. Cortisone only helped for a few weeks, so my physician recommended hyaluronic acid based on my condition. The relief has lasted much longer, the swelling has improved, and I am back to completing full routes without modifying my stops.”
Working through arthritic joint pain is not a long-term solution. The joints that are being managed around are worsening with every shift, and the compensation patterns developing around them are creating new problems. Our City of Industry arthritis specialists bring the diagnostic precision and the full range of nonsurgical interventional options needed to address the source of your joint pain and get you back to full function with minimal disruption to your work.
