Osteoarthritis
The initial step in treating a patient with osteoarthritis of the knee is to try and identify ways to avoid the activities that trigger the symptoms. If surgery is advised, doctors will go over each procedure and suggest a course of action based on how the disease is developing. Although total joint replacement is often thought of as a frequent treatment for osteoarthritis. the majority of individuals with arthritis are able to delay or completely prevent joint replacement by undergoing alternative arthroscopic joint preservation treatments. Many people with osteoarthritis can benefit from arthroscopic osteoarthritis treatment, which can be used to clean out the inflamed joint lining, trim out any areas of a meniscal tear, smoothen the cartilage surfaces, and remove any bone spurs that might be preventing the full range of motion in the knee.
The most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis, is a degenerative joint disorder marked by cartilage degradation. This causes the affected joints to become painful, stiff, and less mobile. It is typical in older people and can also be brought on by past injuries or overuse. Despite the fact that it is a chronic condition, management focuses on managing joint function, lowering inflammation, and relieving pain. There are many different forms of treatment, including dietary changes, physical therapy, drugs, and, in severe situations, surgery. By offering thorough, individualized approaches to controlling osteoarthritis and minimizing its effects on everyday activities and general well-being, our specialized treatment seeks to improve quality oflife.

Osteoarthritis FAQ's
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage in the joints. It leads to joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Osteoarthritis most commonly affects weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine, but it can also impact other joints such as the hands, feet, and shoulders.
Treatment may include lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, pain relief medication, joint injections, assistive devices, and in some cases, surgical interventions like joint replacement surgery.
Physical therapy can help improve joint mobility, muscle strength, and function, and it can provide strategies to reduce pain and maintain or improve joint health.
