What Is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition where the cartilage that cushions your joints breaks down, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited movement. It commonly affects weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, hands and spine.

What Are the Symptoms of Osteoarthritis?

  • Pain after repetitive joint use
  • Stiffness, especially after rest
  • Swelling or warmth in the joint
  • Reduced mobility or “grinding” sensation

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does It Take to See Results From Physical Therapy?

The time frame for improvement varies by individual, but many patients notice relief within a few weeks of consistent physical therapy sessions.
In addition to physical therapy, treatment options include medications, joint injections (such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid), weight management, and assistive devices like braces or orthotics.
Osteoarthritis is primarily caused by wear and tear on the joints over time. Factors like aging, repetitive movements, joint injuries, and carrying excess weight can contribute to the breakdown of cartilage, leading to osteoarthritis.
Early signs often include joint stiffness, mild pain, and discomfort during or after physical activity. You may also experience swelling or a grating sensation when using the joint.
While there is no cure for osteoarthritis, treatments like physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and medications can help manage symptoms and improve your joint function.
Osteoarthritis is diagnosed through a combination of physical examinations, a review of symptoms, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs to assess the extent of cartilage damage.
