Osteoarthritis Knee Pain?

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common degenerative joint disease that affects millions of individuals globally. In the United States alone, over 27 million adults are estimated to have osteoarthritis, with the knee being one of the most affected joints. This condition is characterized by progressive damage to the cartilage in the knee joint, leading to symptoms like pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Osteoarthritis of the knee can significantly impact daily life, making activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and standing for prolonged periods challenging.

Manage Pain and Maintain Mobility

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly those over 50 years old. It develops when the cartilage in the knee joint wears down over time, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Persistent knee pain
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  • Swelling and inflammation around the knee
  • Difficulty with activities like walking,
    climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair
  • Joint instability or weakness

The development of knee osteoarthritis is influenced by various factors, including aging, genetics, obesity, previous joint injuries, and overuse of the knee joint. Managing knee osteoarthritis involves a combination of treatments like pain medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

Hightower is actively involved in advancing the treatment options for knee osteoarthritis through research and clinical trials.
