Knee Arthritis Treatment

Home » Knee Arthritis Treatment

Knee pain caused by arthritis can really have a significant impact on your life. I know because I am relatively young and have an arthritic knee. In high school and college I went through many knee surgeries while playing football and now, 30 years later, I am paying for it a bit. My knee still hurts at times when I do more with it than it can handle but overall, I have been able to maintain a very active lifestyle in spite of my arthritic knee. I am convinced that you can also, which is why I am so passionate about helping people with arthritis.


We used to think that joint arthritis was the result of wear and tear and, for some people with previous trauma (surgeries/injuries) to the knee, it is. But for the majority of people, new research on pain related to arthritis shows that the symptoms we feel may be more related to our metabolic health-blood glucose levels, blood pressure, cardiovascular fitness, cholesterol levels. All of these can be improved with changes in our activity level and diet. However, when you experience pain from arthritis, it definitely can make it harder to be active and healthier. But, with the right treatment and guidance, you can. 

The approach we utilize to help people with knee arthritis focuses on helping you become more active and healthier despite being diagnosed as having arthritis. We use hands-on techniques to help with pain and improve mobility, find exercises that you can currently tolerate to help with joint health and overall fitness, and guide you through lifestyle changes to improve your diet, sleep, body weight, and metabolic health. With this approach, we have found that many people are able to prolong the time in which a surgery is needed and some have even been able to avoid surgery altogether.
