Understanding Knee Pain, Knee Arthritis, and Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee pain is a common issue that affects millions of people, particularly those over the age of 50. Whether it’s a dull ache or sharp discomfort, knee pain can limit mobility and interfere with daily life. One of the most common causes of knee pain is knee arthritis, specifically knee osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition that worsens over time.

What Is Knee Arthritis?

Knee arthritis refers to inflammation and deterioration of the knee joint. It can result from wear and tear, injury, or underlying medical conditions. Among the various types of knee arthritis, knee osteoarthritis is the most prevalent, affecting individuals as they age due to cartilage breakdown.

Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis develops gradually, with symptoms becoming more noticeable over time. Common signs include:

Persistent knee pain that worsens with activity
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting for long periods
Swelling and tenderness around the knee
Reduced flexibility and range of motion
A grating sensation or popping sounds when moving the knee

Causes and Risk Factors

Several factors contribute to the development of knee osteoarthritis, including:

Age: The risk increases as cartilage naturally wears down over time.
Obesity: Extra weight adds stress to the knee joints.
Previous Injuries: Past knee injuries can lead to arthritis later in life.
Genetics: A family history of knee arthritis may increase susceptibility.
Repetitive Stress: Jobs or activities that put excessive strain on the knees can accelerate cartilage deterioration.

Treatment Options for Knee Osteoarthritis

Managing knee osteoarthritis effectively can help relieve pain and improve function. Common treatment approaches include:

  • Lifestyle Modifications:

    Weight management, low-impact exercise, and physical therapy can help reduce stress on the knees.

  • Medications:

    Anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers may ease symptoms.

  • Injections:

    One of the most effective treatments for knee osteoarthritis is FDA-approved gel injections, which act as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint. At the Joint Relief Institute, we specialize in fluoroscopy-guided gel injections, ensuring 100% accuracy in medication placement. This precision maximizes pain relief and improves mobility while minimizing discomfort. Unlike oral medications, which only mask symptoms, gel injections directly target the knee joint, providing long-lasting relief. For those who haven’t found success with conservative treatments like pain relievers or physical therapy, these injections offer a proven, non-surgical solution to restore function and reduce pain.

  • Assistive Devices:

    Braces and orthotic shoe inserts can help improve stability and reduce discomfort.

  • Minimally Invasive Procedures:

    Non-surgical treatments like fluoroscopy-guided injections ensure precise delivery of medication for maximum pain relief.

  • Knee Replacement Surgery:

    In severe cases where other treatments have failed, knee replacement surgery may be necessary. However, surgery comes with significant risks, including infection, blood clots, and long recovery times. It should be considered only as a last resort after non-surgical options have been exhausted. Many patients find that fluoroscopy-guided gel injections provide enough relief to avoid or delay the need for surgery altogether.
