You want to move freely again.

Walk without pain.

Lift without fear.

That’s the goal.

Exploring Non-Surgical Options

Not ready for surgery? No worries.

Non-surgical treatments can be powerful.

Medications

• Over-the-counter painkillers like acetaminophen

• Prescription anti-inflammatories

• Corticosteroid injections for flare-ups

  
  

Physical Therapy

• Tailored exercises

• Manual therapy

• Hydrotherapy

  
  

Lifestyle Changes

• Weight management to reduce joint stress

• Low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling

• Proper nutrition for joint health

  
  

Assistive Devices

• Knee braces for stability

• Shoe inserts to correct gait

• Canes or walkers for support

  
  

These options often delay or prevent surgery.

They improve quality of life.

When Surgery Becomes Necessary

Sometimes, surgery is the best path.

When pain is severe. When mobility is lost.

Common surgeries include:

• Arthroscopy: Small camera, small cuts, big help.

• Joint Replacement: New joint, new life.

• Ligament Reconstruction: Fixing torn ligaments for stability.

  
  

Surgery is not the end.

It’s a new beginning.

Recovery takes time.

But with the right care, you’ll get there.
