This Startup Is Introducing a New Way to Treat Chronic Joint Pain
|
|
Joint Academy has created a digital platform to help treat the millions of people suffering from chronic joint pain, all while avoiding costly and dangerous surgeries. CEO and Co-founder Jakob Dahlberg took the clinically-validated treatments designed by his father, a physician renowned for his work in osteoarthritis, and made it available for the masses at the click of a button. We recently caught up with Jakob and got his take on the growth of the platform, as well as Joint Academy’s expansion into the American market.
