Knee arthritis occurs when the cartilage inside the knee joint begins to wear down or become damaged. Cartilage normally helps the bones move smoothly, but when it breaks down, the joint may become painful, stiff, swollen, or harder to move.
For many Mount Holly adults, knee arthritis develops gradually and may affect daily activities such as walking, bending, exercising, getting in and out of a car, or going up and down stairs.
At Joint Health Solutions, we focus on identifying the cause of your knee pain and creating a personalized treatment plan that helps improve comfort and mobility without immediately turning to surgery.
This is the inner part of the knee. Arthritis in this area may cause pain along the inside of the knee, especially when walking or standing.
This is the outer part of the knee. Arthritis here may lead to pain, stiffness, or uneven pressure during movement.
This is the area behind the kneecap. Arthritis in this part of the knee may cause pain when climbing stairs, squatting, kneeling, or standing up from a seated position.
Understanding which part of the knee is affected helps our team recommend the most appropriate treatment options for each patient.
| Symptom | Description |
|---|---|
| Pain | Aching, soreness, or sharp discomfort that may worsen with walking, standing, or activity |
| Stiffness | Difficulty bending or straightening the knee, especially in the morning or after sitting |
| Swelling | Puffiness, tenderness, or inflammation around the knee joint |
| Grinding | Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations during movement |
| Weakness or Instability | The knee may feel weak, unstable, or like it may give out |
| Limited Mobility | Trouble climbing stairs, walking longer distances, kneeling, or getting up from a chair |
We begin by reviewing your symptoms, pain level, activity limitations, previous injuries, and any treatments you have already tried.
Our team evaluates your knee movement, tenderness, swelling, strength, stability, and range of motion to better understand how arthritis is affecting your joint.
When needed, imaging may help show cartilage loss, joint space narrowing, inflammation, bone changes, or the overall severity of arthritis.
After your evaluation, we explain your condition clearly and recommend treatment options based on your needs, comfort level, and long-term goals.
Image-guided injections may help deliver treatment more accurately into the knee joint. These options may be recommended for Mount Holly patients who want to reduce pain, manage inflammation, improve lubrication, or support joint function without surgery.
| Injection Type | Best For | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cortisone Injection | Inflammation and arthritis flare-ups | Helps reduce swelling and provide temporary pain relief |
| Hyaluronic Acid Injection | Knee arthritis and cartilage wear | Helps improve lubrication and reduce joint friction |
| PRP Therapy | Joint discomfort and tissue support | Uses the patient’s own platelets to support the body’s natural healing response |
| Regenerative Options | Chronic knee pain and degeneration | May support repair response and long-term joint function |
Our philosophy is to use the least invasive, most effective treatments to manage Knee Arthritis. We combine multiple modalities to achieve optimal results.
Targeted exercises may help strengthen the muscles around the knee, improve balance, increase flexibility, and reduce pressure on the joint.
Low-impact activities such as walking, cycling, swimming, stretching, or guided movement may help keep the joint active without creating excessive stress.
For patients with knee arthritis, reducing extra pressure on the knee may help improve comfort and make everyday movement easier.
Knee braces or supportive devices may help improve alignment, reduce strain, and provide better stability during walking or daily activity.
Certain medications may be recommended to help manage pain or inflammation. Your provider can guide you based on your health history and arthritis severity.
Regenerative medicine may be an option for some Mount Holly patients who want to support knee joint health without immediately considering surgery. These treatments are designed to work with the body’s natural repair response and may be used for joint discomfort, inflammation, soft tissue irritation, or degenerative knee changes.
At Joint Health Solutions, we evaluate your arthritis condition, symptoms, mobility goals, and overall joint health before recommending whether regenerative treatment may be appropriate for your knee arthritis care plan.
Many patients can manage knee arthritis with non-surgical care, but knee replacement may be considered when arthritis becomes severe and conservative treatments no longer provide enough relief.
Our goal is to help Mount Holly patients explore conservative treatment options first whenever appropriate and make informed decisions about their joint health.
Every care plan is based on your symptoms, arthritis severity, lifestyle, and mobility goals.
We prioritize conservative treatment options that may help reduce pain and improve function before surgery is considered.
Our team offers injection-based care that may help manage inflammation, pain, and stiffness.
For qualified patients, regenerative therapies may support healing response and joint function.
