One of the most common forms of knee pain is osteoarthritis. It is usually caused by a variety of factors such as overuse, improper form during physical activity, overweight, aging, and injury. Older adults are more likely to be affected by this condition. Knee osteoarthritis can be disabling and it may require treatment to relieve the pain. If exercise, simple pain killers, and physical therapy are not enough, we have the solution that works for your problem. For osteoarthritis knee pain, we use Supartz Joint Fluid Therapy Lawrenceville GA which gives your knee long lasting pain relief.

What is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a disease that involves both biomechanical and biochemical factors that weakens the cartilage resulting to pain, functional limitations, and disability. This condition is commonly occurs in knee joint. Knee osteoarthritis is a result of lacking in lubricating substance called hyaluronan, leaving the bones in your knee rubbing against each other. This causes erosion, bone spurs, and pain. It is the leading cause of disability in the United States and over 20 million people are affected by this condition.

At the end of the bones, there is a rubbery tissue called cartilage which makes your joint easy to move. Your knee normally has hyaluronan in the synovial fluid, a fluid that cushions your knee.

If you have knee osteoarthritis, your knee lacks hyaluronan. You may find it hard to move your joints. The surface layer of the cartilage in your knee breaks and wears away. This causes the bones under the cartilage to rub together which ends up in pain, swelling, and loss of motion in the joint. The joint may lose its normal shape over time.

What are the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis?

The cartilage deteriorates gradually and there may be no symptoms at first. But eventually these may start to appear. These symptoms include:

• Stiffness in the knee especially in the morning
• Pain in the knee whether you are moving or not
• Crackling sound or grating feeling
• Skin around the knee is red and swollen

The symptoms are not always associated with the severity of damage on the joint and they may come and go for no definite reason.

What are the contributing factors of knee osteoarthritis?

Because your knee is one of the most movable and stressed joints in your body, it can be also vulnerable to pain. And there are a number of risk factors that contributes to the development of knee osteoarthritis. These include:

• Aging
• Obesity
• Heredity
• Injury to the knee joint
• Lack of exercise or inactive lifestyle
• Muscle weakness
• Overuse of the knee
• Twisted feet
• Wearing wrong kind of footwear
