Relieve your joint and muscle pain

Pain doesn't have to slow you down. Many of our health plans include care options to help you get back to doing what you love.

Keeping you on the go

Your muscles and joints power everything you do. Musculoskeletal pain, like knee, hip, or muscle issues, can disrupt daily life and drive up your health care costs.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) is helping members address their musculoskeletal health at all stages of treatment, from prevention to care to recovery.

The right care, when you need it

We make sure that you have the resources to get you back on your feet fast by providing support in:

Virtual physical therapy

Physical therapy doesn't have to mean another trip to the doctor's office. Many of our members can get expert guidance and personalized care right from home. Talk to your doctor to see if it is available through your care team.

Some Blue Cross NC plans offer access to Hinge Health to help relieve joint and muscle pain at home through personalized therapy.2

The no-cost program offers a complete clinical team of physical trainers, health coaches, and orthopedic specialists who can discuss surgery options, provide a second opinion, and guide care services.

Learn more about Hinge Health online⁠⁠ or by calling 855-902-2777.

Every health plan is different. You can see the benefits covered by your plan in the Blue Cross NC member portal.
