Knee Osteoarthritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seeking care for knee pain that appears with movement and improves with rest often leads to evaluating knee osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is the wearing down of the cartilage that covers the surfaces of the knee joint, a process that usually progresses over the years.
Common symptoms: pain when walking or climbing stairs, stiffness after resting, a grinding sensation, and, at times, swelling in the knee.
Which specialist treats it? Physical medicine and rehabilitation, together with the physical therapist, support the management of knee function and mobility. If knee pain limits your daily activities, it is advisable to have a professional assess your case and guide the next steps.
