Abstract

Knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) place a significant burden on the Canadian health system and are a major public health challenge. This brief commentary discusses the recently published Osteoarthritis Research Society International guideline and the American College of Rheumatology guideline for the management of OA. Special attention has been given to the role of manual therapy, exercise, and patient education for the treatment of knee and hip OA. This article also reviews the Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) treatment program for knee and hip OA and the implementation of this program in Canada. Lastly, the authors discuss the opportunity for the Canadian chiropractic profession to embrace treatment programs like GLA:D and take an active role in the strengthening of the Canadian health system from a musculoskeletal perspective.
