When diet, exercise, or medication fail to alleviate knee pain, it's essential to understand how to address the root causes of degenerative knee arthritis to regain a pain-free, active lifestyle.

Degenerative Knee Arthritis

In degenerative arthritis, the cartilage that protects the ends of the bones gradually deteriorates, and the joint fluid in the knee loses its ability to absorb shock. This leads to friction between the bones, which can cause knee pain.

Treatment Options:

• Lifestyle Changes: Including exercise, physical therapy, and weight loss.
• Oral Treatments: Such as pain relievers and nutritional supplements.
• Injectable Joint Supplements: Help relieve pain when other methods are ineffective.
• Steroid Injections: Provide quick but short-term pain relief.
• Surgery: Such as total knee replacement.
