Knee arthritis treatment varies depending on the stage and type of arthritis, ranging from conservative approaches to surgical options. Non-surgical treatments include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, weight management, and the use of supportive devices like knee braces. In moderate to severe cases, procedures such as viscosupplementation (gel injections), arthroscopy, or even knee replacement surgery may be recommended for long-term relief. A comprehensive treatment plan should be tailored to the individual’s lifestyle, age, and severity of symptoms. With timely intervention and proper care, many people with knee arthritis are able to lead active, fulfilling lives with minimal pain and improved joint function. Dr. Nitin Rawal emphasizes that with modern orthopedic advancements and a patient-specific approach, long-term relief and joint preservation are more achievable than ever.
