Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment in Chennai

​
Knee osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint condition that affects the cartilage of the knee, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is one of the leading causes of difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, and performing daily activities, especially among older adults.
 
However, with the right physiotherapy approach, knee osteoarthritis can be effectively managed without surgery in most cases.
 
At Brain & Spine Physiotherapy Center, we provide structured and evidence-based knee osteoarthritis treatment in Chennai, focusing on pain reduction, joint preservation, and functional improvement.

What is Knee Osteoarthritis?​

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition where the protective cartilage between the knee joints gradually wears down, causing bones to rub against each other.

​

This leads to:

  • Pain during movement

  • Joint stiffness

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Functional limitations

Early intervention plays a key role in slowing progression.

Common Causes of Knee Osteoarthritis

  • Age-related degeneration

  • Previous knee injury

  • Obesity or excess body weight

  • Repetitive joint stress

  • Poor biomechanics

  • Muscle weakness around the knee

Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis

You may need physiotherapy if you experience:

 

  • Knee pain during walking or standing

  • Morning stiffness

  • Swelling around the knee joint

  • Difficulty climbing stairs

  • Reduced flexibility

  • Grinding sensation (crepitus)
