Knee osteoarthritis is very common, especially as people age. It happens when the cartilage that cushions the knee joint starts to wear down. THis is Knee Osteoarthritis Pilates Physical Therapy Treatment Plan A Step By Step Beginner Guide

Knee OA can happen as you get older or because of an old injury or other stresses on the joints. The earlier knee arthritis is treated, the more likely knee pain can be relieved and the less likely it will get worse. Knee arthritis treatment may include nonsurgical treatments, injections, and surgery. Typically, nonsurgical treatments are tried first. Surgery is not usually necessary and recommended only when other treatments have been tried and have not adequately relieved symptoms.

Most physical therapy programs combine strengthening, stretching, and aerobic conditioning. The goals of physical therapy for knee arthritis include:

Strengthening the muscles surrounding the knee as well as the buttocks and hip Stretching tight and inflexible muscles, such as hamstrings
Encouraging the exchange of fluids and nutrients in the body with light aerobic exercises, such as walking, swimming, or pool therapy
See Knee Exercises for Arthritis

Strong, pliable muscles can better support the knee joint, resulting in less pressure on the damaged cartilage and bone.

Although there’s no cure, you can treat the pain. Your doctor may prescribe painkillers such as acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen), or even narcotics. But long-term use of these drugs can lead to serious side effects in some people.

Some people also get shots of steroids to ease their symptoms. But they have side effects when used too long.

When medication and physical therapy don’t give you enough relief, total replacement of the knee joint is a last resort. But this isn’t right for everyone. Some people shouldn't get this surgery because of their age or other conditions.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat knee osteoarthritis. Some of the methods they’re trying include the following.

A major component of synovial fluid is called hyaluronate. For more than 20 years, doctors have tried to restore mobility and curb pain by injecting hyaluronate directly into the knee joint.

Promising new treatments are on the horizon. Unfortunately, it’s still too early to know how well they work. Much of the effectiveness may depend on the cause and severity of your arthritis. So talk to your doctor and read the fine print before you try a particular treatment.
