Knee osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is typically the result of wear and tear and progressive loss of articular cartilage. Osteoarthritis is typically a progressive disease that may eventually lead to disability. The intensity of the clinical symptoms may vary from each individual. However, they typically become more severe, more frequent, and more debilitating over time. The rate of progression also varies for each individual. Common clinical symptoms include
- Knee pain that is gradual in onset and worse with activity,
- Knee stiffness and swelling,
- Pain after prolonged sitting or resting.
Treatment for knee osteoarthritis begins with conservative methods including analgesics and physiotherapy.However when these treatments fail to give adequate relief GENICULAR NERVE BLOCKS along with VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION injections and REGENERATIVE medicine therapies can be given to control the pain.In addition partial ligament tears and menisceal tears too can be treated with REGENERATIVE medicine therapies with excellent results.
