My Knee OA Care
Knee osteoarthritis is a lifelong condition. While there is no cure, many treatment options are clinically proven to help successfully manage symptoms over the long run. The goals of treatment for knee osteoarthritis are to:
- Decrease pain
- Maintain or improve joint movement
- Limit the loss of joint function as long as possible

No single therapy works for everybody, and treatments vary in terms of risks, side effects, and duration of benefits. It’s important to discuss all available options with your doctor. Many doctors will recommend a stepped-care plan for each stage of OA, an approach that includes a combination of different treatments.
