Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of ongoing knee pain. It develops when the cartilage that cushions the joint gradually wears down, which can lead to pain, stiffness and swelling that make everyday movement harder.
The Joint Regeneration Group provides nonsurgical care for knee osteoarthritis. Start with a $0 New Patient Knee Consultation to talk through your symptoms and learn which options may suit you.
Signs of knee osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis often builds slowly. You may notice:
- Aching or sharp pain that gets worse with activity
- Stiffness when you first get up or after sitting
- Swelling or a feeling of tightness around the knee
- Trouble with stairs, walking or standing for a long time
- A grinding or clicking sensation when you move
What can contribute to it
Several things can raise the chance of knee osteoarthritis, including age, a past knee injury, extra body weight, family history and years of repeated stress on the joint. Having one or more of these does not mean you will have pain, and many people with none still develop it.
Treatment approaches we discuss
There is no single best treatment for everyone. A provider considers your symptoms, exam and goals, then explains the options that may fit. These can include our Nonsurgical Knee Pain Protocol, platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, guidance on staying active and support for healthy weight management.
Results vary, and your provider will be clear about what to expect.
Getting started
Request a $0 New Patient Knee Consultation online or call your nearest clinic. A member of our team will call to confirm your visit, and a provider will review your history and examine your knee.
There is no single best treatment. The right plan depends on your symptoms, how far the condition has progressed and your goals. A provider can explain the nonsurgical options that may fit you.
Cartilage that has worn away does not simply grow back on its own. Many people focus on reducing pain and improving movement, and a provider can explain realistic goals for your knee.
Extra body weight adds load to the knees, and many people find that losing weight helps reduce pain. Ask us about provider supervised weight loss support.
Consider a visit if knee pain lasts more than a few weeks, keeps coming back, or limits walking, stairs or sleep. Seek urgent care for sudden swelling with fever or a knee that cannot bear weight.
New patients can claim a $0 New Patient Knee Consultation at every location.
