Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and frequently affects the knees, hips, hands, shoulders, and spine. It develops gradually as the protective cartilage within joints wears over time.

Symptoms commonly include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, decreased range of motion, and difficulty performing everyday activities.

Treatment focuses on reducing pain, improving function, and maintaining independence. Depending on the affected joint and severity of symptoms, treatment may include exercise, physical therapy, weight management, medications, topical treatments, injections performed by specialists, and orthopedic referral when appropriate.

Our goal is to help patients remain active while minimizing pain and preserving joint function.
