Baby boomers are an active bunch and their aging joints can take a beating.
Now, a new device may keep them from dropping to their knees in pain.
Bionicare is an FDA approved knee brace that treats osteoarthritis.
It works in two ways.
First, it realigns the joint to unload pressure on the bones.
Then a generator sends low-level signals to the knee.
The idea is to restore the joint's natural electrical environment and, over time, increase its function.
The Bionicare brace costs about $1400.
However, in some cases, Medicare and certain insurances have been covering the treatment.
