Risks Involved

  • Osteoarthritis causes pain and stiffness in the
    joints affecting mainly older age group people.
    The hip and knee arthritis gives pain in bone
    joints, groin, and near adjoining front areas of
    the thigh.
  • The symptoms can be managed by staying active and
    maintaining a healthy weight. Some treatments
    have a slow progression that improves pain with
    time.

Treatment Options for Hip Knee Osteoarthritis
  • Physical Therapy The physical therapists assess
    the physical conditions of the patients who have
    problems in mobility. They set exercises
    according to their hip and knee problems so that
    they can walk. The therapists suggest the
    exercises so that they can safely continue at
    their home also.

  • Medications People with osteoarthritis
    experience intense pain. So to give them relief
    they are given pain-relieving tablets.

Some Risk Factors Involved in Hip Knee
Osteoarthritis
  • Age is the major factor involved in
    osteoarthritis because its risk gets increased as
    you grow up. As women grow, there is wear and
    tear of bones involved which results in
    osteoarthritis.
  • Joint Injuries and bone deformities involve the
    major risk factors in osteoarthritis. The
    injuries formed during the early stages of life
    results in osteoarthritis in later stages.

6
  • Obesity plays a major role in developing
    osteoarthritis. The more you weigh greater is the
    risk involved. Increased weight adds extra stress
    on your hips and knees. The tissues cause wear
    and tear with the time that causes inflammation.
    However, with age, the risk gets so high that in
    later stages it results in surgeries.
