Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment is available for you!

A few factors of Knee Osteoarthritis:

• Increasing age increases your risk for knee Osteoarthritis (OA).
• Decreasing body mass index and increasing physical activity are instrumental in preventing the progression of knee OA.
• Obesity is one of the primary preventable cause of knee OA and the second most preventable cause of OA in men after major knee injury.
• Obese individuals have 4 to 10 fold higher risk of developing OA than those of average weight. This is due to the excess load across the knee joint that equals approximately 4 times their body weight.
• Quadriceps weakness is also a risk factor in the progression of knee OA.

Knee Osteoarthrosis treatment that may help right here at Innovative Medical Center:

• Light to moderate exercise will combat knee OA by stimulating the remodeling of the cartilage to create a tougher, protective joint surface.
• Physical rehab will provide low-impact exercise, flexibility, and strength training specific to your case.
• An unloader brace will improve knee alignment, reduce pain, decrease stiffness, and improve function better than other knee braces.
  • The unloader brace can also be used as an alternative to pain medications, such as NSAIDs, and to slow down the progression of OA.
• Pain relief medical injections can repair and accelerate the healing process.
