Knee & Hip Osteoarthritis
Pain Is Not “Just Part of Aging”
Joint wear and tear occurs when the cartilage that cushions and protects the joint gradually deteriorates. This leads to friction between the bones, causing pain, inflammation, and difficulty performing everyday activities. It is one of the most common causes of joint pain in adults.
With an early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, it is possible to improve mobility and overall quality of life.
Most Common Symptoms
- Pain when walking or standing for long periods
- Stiffness when getting up in the morning
- Joint swelling
- Grinding or cracking sensation
- Progressive limitation of movement
- Difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from a chair
If these symptoms persist, a specialized evaluation is recommended.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the degree of joint degeneration and the patient’s individual needs. It may include:
- Medications to control pain and inflammation.
- Physical therapy and muscle strengthening.
- Joint injections.
- Custom orthotics.
- Regenerative therapies.
- Surgery or joint replacement in advanced cases
Surgery is considered only when conservative treatments no longer provide sufficient relief.
Schedule a Consultation
Addressing knee or hip degeneration early can help slow its progression and prevent further complications.
If pain is limiting your daily life, schedule an evaluation to learn about the treatment options available to you.
