Non-Surgical Knee Arthritis Treatment Guides by Dr. Mayur Rabhadiya

This Non-Surgical Knee Guides hub explains conservative treatment options for knee arthritis. The objective is not to promise that every arthritic knee can avoid surgery. It is to match treatment to arthritis stage, symptoms, function, alignment, medical health and realistic goals.

Non-surgical care may include education, activity modification, exercise, physiotherapy, weight management, medicines, braces, walking aids and selected injections. These approaches may reduce symptoms or improve function in suitable patients, but they do not reliably reverse advanced structural arthritis.
