The most common type of arthritis leading to joint pain, osteoarthritis is the wear-and-tear type of arthritis that affects most of us as we age. Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage inside a joint begins to thin, much like brake pads on a car or like rubber on a tire. As the cartilage wears down, the natural ability of the cartilage to withstand weight bearing and activity also wears down, which causes pain and limitation with certain activities. As a degenerative condition that becomes worse with time, osteoarthritis presently has no cure. As the ailment progresses, the cartilage in your joints becomes more and more damaged due to the wear and tear caused by our daily life, walking, exercising, and working. As that cartilage continues to wear away, the treatment and management of the symptoms become more challenging and the symptoms become worse. Symptoms include: Joint stiffness Joint pain Joint weakness Reduced mobility Popping or crackling of the joint Viscosupplementation refers to a particular line of products used in knee arthritis treatments. “Visco” is short for viscosity, while supplementation means we are adding a viscous gel to the joint that supplements the joint’s current volume of fluid. In short, viscosupplementation acts as a viscous lubricant and cushioning gel that supplements what your body lacks, thus reducing the rubbing and grinding in an arthritic knee.
