Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment in Madipakkam

Knee pain is one of the most common joint problems affecting adults and seniors. Dr. Arun Kumar provides expert diagnosis and tailored treatment for knee osteoarthritis to restore comfort, strength, and mobility.

Before Knee Treatment

What is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition in which the cartilage cushioning the knee joint wears away over time. This leads to pain, stiffness, and swelling as bones begin to rub directly against each other. The condition progresses gradually, making early diagnosis and treatment essential for long-term joint health.

Restoring Knee Function

Early treatment can delay joint damage and preserve knee flexibility and strength.
