Knee Arthritis

Introduction to Knee Arthritis

The knee is one of the most important joints in the body, carrying weight and enabling movement in daily activities such as walking, running, climbing stairs, and sitting. Over time, the protective cartilage in the knee may wear down, leading to knee arthritis—a chronic condition that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced flexibility.

Knee arthritis is one of the most common causes of disability worldwide. While it is more prevalent in older adults, younger people can also develop it due to injuries, obesity, or genetic factors. Without proper management, arthritis can progress, leading to severe pain and loss of independence.

At Epione Pain Management Center, we provide non-surgical, advanced treatments that help patients manage pain, restore mobility, and delay or even avoid the need for knee replacement surgery.

Types of Knee Arthritis

  1. Osteoarthritis (OA): The most common type, caused by gradual wear and tear of cartilage.

  2. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks joint linings.

  3. Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Develops after knee injuries like fractures or ligament tears.

  4. Other Types: Gout, psoriatic arthritis, and infections may also affect the knee.

Causes & Risk Factors

  • Aging and natural cartilage wear

  • Previous knee injuries or surgeries

  • Obesity, adding stress on joints

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Repetitive strain from work or sports

  • Autoimmune disorders

Symptoms of Knee Arthritis

  • Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest

  • Morning stiffness and difficulty moving the knee

  • Swelling, tenderness, or warmth around the joint

  • Clicking or grinding sounds when bending the knee

  • Reduced flexibility and difficulty climbing stairs or sitting cross-legged

  • In advanced cases: visible deformity of the joint

Diagnosis at Epione

At Epione, we use a comprehensive evaluation process:

  • Clinical assessment: Checking pain location, mobility, and swelling.

  • Imaging: X-rays to assess joint space narrowing, MRI for cartilage and soft tissue.

  • Lab tests: If rheumatoid or other autoimmune causes are suspected.
