Introduction:
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition affecting millions worldwide. It causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Dr. Lal Orthocare, under the expert guidance of Dr. Lal Shrikant, we understand the impact knee osteoarthritis can have on daily life. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive care to help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive condition characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint. This deterioration leads to inflammation, pain, and stiffness, making it difficult to perform daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or bending the knee. While knee osteoarthritis is more common in older adults, it can also occur due to injury, overuse, or obesity.
Expert Diagnosis and Assessment
At Dr. Lal Orthocare, our orthopedic specialists are highly skilled in diagnosing and assessing knee osteoarthritis. We conduct a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI scans, and a medical history review. This comprehensive approach allows us to accurately diagnose your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach
Managing knee osteoarthritis requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the condition’s symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to its development. At Dr. Lal Orthocare, we offer a range of treatment options to help you manage your knee osteoarthritis effectively, including:
- Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), pain relievers, and corticosteroid injections to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises and stretches to improve joint flexibility, strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee, and enhance overall mobility.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management, dietary changes, and activity modification to reduce stress on the knee joint and improve function.
- Assistive Devices: Braces, orthotics, and walking aids to support the knee joint and improve stability during daily activities.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Procedures such as arthroscopy or viscosupplementation to relieve pain and improve joint function in select cases.
- Surgical Intervention: Joint replacement surgery (such as total knee replacement) for advanced cases of knee osteoarthritis that do not respond to conservative treatments.
