Knee Osteoarthritis
Degeneration of knee joint cartilage leading to pain, grinding sensations, and difficulty climbing stairs.
Understanding This Condition
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative wear-and-tear condition where protective joint cartilage wears away. Without proper physical therapy, surrounding muscles weaken, accelerating joint erosion and restricting mobility.
