About Arthritis

There are many types of arthritis. One of the most prevalent types of arthritis is osteoarthritis (OA). Joint pain, inflammation of the knee, loss of motion, and stiffness are all symptoms. OA will get progressively worse over time; there is no cure.

How Do You Get Arthritis?

Osteoarthritis occurs naturally as we get older. Knee cartilage thins as we age and the space between your femur and tibial plateau narrows. Previous knee injuries, repetitive stress, being overweight, bone diseases, genetic factors, even gender can all play a role in your knee pain.

Treatment for Arthritis

Drugs, injections, and surgical procedures dominate the public's perception of treatment options for osteoarthritis. However there are many conservative options available to treat knee pain! Weight loss, stretching, and exercise can be the best osteoarthritis treatment options available. Knee braces, heel wedges, joint health supplements, magnetic therapy, and even acupuncture has been proven to be effective.
