We are excited to announce that Joint Academy\u2019s digital treatments<\/strong> for joint, shoulder, and back pain<\/strong> are now available to Cigna members<\/strong> in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding Access to Telehealth Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Covid-19 pandemic<\/strong> accelerated the shift toward digital healthcare<\/strong>, making telehealth solutions more essential than ever. Through our partnership with Cigna<\/strong>, an additional three million members<\/strong> now have access to Joint Academy\u2019s evidence-based treatments as part of their health plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the MSK Cost Burden<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, including joint pain and osteoarthritis<\/strong>, affect tens of millions of people<\/strong> across the U.S. and remain a leading driver of healthcare costs. However, studies indicate that many invasive MSK procedures\u2014such as knee and hip replacements\u2014are avoidable<\/strong>.[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2021 randomized controlled trial<\/strong> found that Joint Academy\u2019s digital treatment reduced patients\u2019 pain by 44% in just six weeks<\/strong>. In contrast, patients receiving traditional face-to-face care in the same study experienced only a 6% reduction<\/strong>.[2] By increasing access to digital first-line treatment<\/strong>, Joint Academy helps reduce unnecessary, high-cost surgeries<\/strong>, leading to significant healthcare savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Cigna Members Can Access Joint Academy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cigna members in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida<\/strong> can now download the Joint Academy app<\/strong> from the App Store<\/strong> or Google Play<\/strong> and begin treatment immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
