Knee pain (osteoarthritis)

Over time, osteoarthritis (OA) affects the knee’s bone cartilage and synovial fluid. In moderate OA, cartilage thins, narrowing the gap between the femur and tibia.

Hyaluronic acid, which lubricates the joint, becomes less effective. Osteophytes (bone spurs) grow, making the bone rougher and worsening pain. As OA progresses, joint spaces narrow, leading to more rapid cartilage destruction, inflammation, and soreness. The decreased synovial fluid increases friction, severely impacting mobility and quality of life.

Knee pain (osteoarthritis) Causes

Aging, as wear and tear on the joints increases over time.
Gender, since some joint conditions are more common in certain sexes.
Excess weight, which puts extra strain on the joints.
Previous joint injuries, which can lead to long-term issues.
Repetitive stress on the joints, from activities or physical labor.
Family history, as genetics can play a role in joint health.
Bone abnormalities, which can affect joint function.
Metabolic conditions, like diabetes or gout, that impact joint health.

Knee pain (osteoarthritis) Symptoms

Pain that worsens with activity but improves with rest.
Swelling around the knee joint.
Warmth in the joint, indicating inflammation.
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after long periods of inactivity.
Reduced mobility, making it hard to stand, sit, climb stairs, or walk.
Creaking or cracking sounds (crepitus) when moving the knee.

Treatment Process of Knee pain (osteoarthritis) at SL Regrow Clinic

Treatment

We treat knee osteoarthritis using advanced lasers and shockwave therapies. These treatments help improve joint mobility, stimulate healing, and promote tissue regeneration for long-term relief.

Outcomes

Patients experience reduced knee pain, improved mobility, and decreased stiffness. Over time, the treatments promote tissue regeneration and support long-term joint health.
