Knee osteoarthritis isn't just "inevitable wear and tear." Pain when you walk, stiffness when you get up, and the fear that it'll get worse can take over your life — and there are often conservative options before surgery.
At Spine Center we look at how your knee moves, what imaging you already have, and whether knee decompression can relieve pressure in the joint and improve how it works.
We don't sell packages before seeing your case: the evaluation determines whether a decompression program is appropriate and what you can expect.
What is knee osteoarthritis?
It's the progressive wearing down of the joint cartilage. It can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and trouble climbing stairs or walking long distances.
Common symptoms
- Pain when you bear weight or stand for a long time.
- Stiffness, especially when you first wake up.
- Swelling or a feeling that the knee "locks up."
- A gradual drop in the activities you enjoy.
Our approach
Benefits of conservative treatment
- An alternative before surgery when that's possible.
- A plan tailored to the degree of osteoarthritis.
- Clear follow-up — no miracle promises.
When to come in
If pain is limiting your walking, your work, or the activities you enjoy, it's worth an evaluation — especially if surgery has already been mentioned to you.
