Knee osteoarthritis is primarily caused by the gradual wear and tear of the knee joint over time. However, certain factors can increase the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, including:
Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and Paget’s disease, can increase the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis.
The symptoms of knee osteoarthritis can vary from person to person, but they usually include:
Some people may attribute the symptoms of osteoarthritis to the natural symptoms of aging, but without proper care, these symptoms can develop into more serious conditions. Your specialist at VIS can help diagnose and treat your Knee Osteoarthritis symptoms.
If left untreated, knee osteoarthritis can lead to several complications, most commonly chronic pain and stiffness in the knee joint and limited mobility. While these complications may sound minor, they can have a trickle-down effect and affect other areas of your life, such as contributing to muscle weakness and atrophy, increasing your risk of falling, and leading to a more sedentary lifestyle.
Living a sedentary lifestyle can lead to a variety of complications that can impact your overall health and well-being. Obesity and weight gain, poor cardiovascular health, and an increased risk of depression are all complications of not engaging in physical activity.
Preventing knee osteoarthritis is not always possible, but certain lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of developing the condition, such as maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular exercise, and avoiding activities that put excessive strain on the knees.
At Vascular & Interventional Specialists, we offer innovative interventional radiology procedures and leading-edge treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee. These therapies aim to control pain and inflammation, improve mobility and function, and are minimally invasive.
