Understanding knee osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition in which cartilage and other structures in the knee change over time. Symptoms can include pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion, and difficulty staying active.

Treatment should be individualized. Age, activity level, imaging findings, medical history, symptom severity, and previous care can all affect which options may be appropriate.

When knee osteoarthritis starts affecting daily life

Persistent pain and stiffness

Pain may be worse after activity or after periods of rest, while stiffness can make it harder to get moving comfortably.

Swelling and reduced motion

Inflammation and structural changes in the joint can contribute to swelling, tenderness, and a reduced range of motion.

Difficulty with everyday activities

Stairs, walking longer distances, standing, exercise, and other routine activities may become increasingly uncomfortable.

A personalized approach to knee osteoarthritis treatment

Depending on your diagnosis and previous treatment history, your care plan may include conservative therapies, image-guided procedures, or minimally invasive treatment options.

Conservative care

Activity modification, strengthening, weight management when appropriate, and other supportive measures may be part of a comprehensive plan.

Targeted procedures

For some patients, physician-directed injections or other targeted procedures may be considered as part of non-surgical care.

Genicular Artery Embolization

Selected patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis may be evaluated for Genicular Artery Embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that targets abnormal blood vessels associated with inflammation around the knee.

Why patients come to Knee Pain Centers of America

Our goal is to help patients understand what is causing their knee pain and which treatment path makes sense for their individual situation. We focus on evaluation, education, and options that may help patients remain active while avoiding unnecessary procedures.

Surgery is appropriate for some people, and non-surgical care is not right for every condition. A physician evaluation is the best way to determine the next step.
