What is knee osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis that affects the knee joint, specifically targeting the cartilage. It slowly wears down the cushioning layer of the knee and can eventually lead to loss of joint function and mobility.

What are the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis usually presents itself with a combination of symptoms that can range in severity. Common symptoms include pain and aching around the knee joint, stiffness and reduced range of motion, crackling or grating when the joint is moved, tenderness or swelling around the joint and a feeling of instability or buckling. Osteoarthritis often leads to weakened muscles surrounding the knee which will leave the knee more vulnerable to further damage as well as increasing an individual’s risk for falls.

What are the treatments for knee osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that can cause pain, with symptoms typically becoming more uncomfortable over time. While there is no cure, there are many treatment options available to control the symptoms and improve mobility. Regular chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy interventions and massage are some of the modalities that can be employed in treating knee osteoarthritis. Chiropractic care can help relieve pain, decrease muscular tension and restore joint function. Physiotherapy exercises focus on improving strength, balance and flexibility to reduce knee strain. Massage helps to relax muscles and alleviate tension which can ultimately help to reduce strain on the affected area. A combination of these treatments can be beneficial in helping to manage the long-term effects of knee osteoarthritis.
