                  <p>GLA:D Canada is an evidence-based program that treats and manages hip and/or knee osteoarthritic symptoms, aids in the management and development of osteoarthritis, improves patient outcomes (increases function, decreases pain), and reduces the need for total joint replacements and opiate usage. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent cause of mobility issues and impairment among the elderly. It is also prevalent in young and middle-aged adults. Approximately 5% of persons aged 35 to 54 have osteoarthritis. Many of these folks have previously had joint injuries. Approximately 30% of the population between the ages of 50 and 70 suffer from osteoarthritis, with the number increasing with age.<br>
<br>
Evidence shows that individuals with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis who are presently awaiting surgery, as well as those who have just been diagnosed, may benefit from the GLA:D program's education and exercise treatment.  Patients in the GLA:D program in Alliston may decide that surgery is no longer necessary, or they may be better able to manage their symptoms while waiting for surgery. This approach has the potential to shorten surgical wait times and enhance overall outcomes, both before and after surgery.
