The first step before beginning any treatment is to understand exactly how arthritis affects the human knee.

At least 550,000 people in the UK have X-ray evidence of moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis in their knees.

There are more than 100 different types of arthritis affecting people of all ages, including about 300,000 children.

Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. “Arth” refers to the joints and “itis” refers to inflammation. Arthritis is not a single disease.

Because the knee is so complex, each sufferer needs to consider a range of individual treatment options.

This site offers arthritis knee pain advice and tips that can improve your quality of life and significantly reduce or eliminate your knee pain.
