Knee arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects your knee joints and the surrounding ligaments, cartilage and tendons. While knee bursitis, patellar tendonitis or patellofemoral pain syndrome all cause knee pain, arthritis may often be a catalyst. It’s estimated that about 54 million people suffer from arthritis in America.

You need an arthritis doctor like Dr. Amr Hosny and his team from the Spine & Rehab Group. They have years of experience diagnosing knee injuries caused by arthritis. With eight offices in Manhattan and northern New Jersey, there’s one near you.

Your knees are the largest and strongest joints in your body. But as strong as they are, they can become vulnerable to damage. In addition to allowing you to move forward and backward, your knee joints join three bones:
Including the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscle and other soft tissue, the knee is a complex joint that you may take for granted until it starts hurting. The most common form of arthritis occurs through wear and tear over the years, which causes degenerative joint disease, similar to the degenerative disc disease that causes back pain. Other ways you can get knee arthritis include:
Arthritis knee specialists like Dr. Hosny and the other experts at the Spine & Rehab Group evaluate your symptoms to determine the cause of your pain. Sometimes, spine problems like sciatica or a pinched nerve in your lower back may be present that require treatment too. Usually, when you have arthritis in a knee, you can experience symptoms such as:
Arthritis in the hip or spondylosis in the spine can cause problems with your knees. Along with your knee pain, you may have hip pain, upper back pain, middle back pain or lower back pain. Your doctor needs to learn as much as possible about your pain before reaching a diagnosis. Imaging tests like x-rays and MRIs help confirm a diagnosis.
My experience with the NP-C Josephine Musto has been great. I came in a few weeks ago for trigger point injections which Josephine administered. She's precise and has an amazing bed side manner. Additionally I had a lot of questions regarding my condition, which is a herniated disc and arthritis in my right knee. She's been a Nurse Practioner for a long time so was able to look at my x-rays and mri's and discuss several options for treatment. So far the traumeel injections have helped me tremendously. I cant say enough about her and this place.

Kat HillArthritis, unfortunately, is one of those conditions that has no permanent cure. The focus of your arthritis doctor is to provide pain management techniques that minimize the impact of arthritis in your daily life. Initially, you may need to take some painkillers on a regular, supervised basis. You may have to ice your knee to bring down the swelling. You may also need to wear a brace or tape your knee to limit its flexibility.
Research into arthritis treatments is ongoing, and some new treatments become available every so often. Since the arthritis doctors at the Spine & Rehab Group don’t recommend surgery, they do suggest other non-invasive procedures, such as:
If you already have knee arthritis and it is not responding to your treatment tricks, it’s advisable to search for the real reason why via the help of an arthritis doctor near you.
