The latest non-surgical treatments for Osteoarthritis
Replacing worn-out bone and cartilage from your knee, with metal and plastic is still a major operation. It almost always requires a hospital stay and months of rehabilitation and therapy for you to regain motion, strength, and the ability to do daily activities. For very active people, these procedures often mean being less active than you would like to be.
The good news is that we are entering a period in healthcare and in particular in orthopaedic surgery when it’s becoming possible to treat osteoarthritis without surgery. Some of these treatments relieve the pain and swelling that make it hard for you to run, play sports and do other activities you love to do.
