What is the Best Treatment for Osteoarthritis of the Knee?
Several
physician organizations have issued guidelines recently about the best
non-surgical treatment for arthritis of the knee. They all agree on weight loss, exercise, and
education. However, they disagree on the
relative effectiveness of steroid shots, hyaluronic acid injections (Synvisc),
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, topical capsaicin, glucosamine, and
acupuncture. Unfortunately, they did not
even mention the treatment that I have found to be the most effective,
prolotherapy. Prolo injections rebuild
and strengthen the ligaments that support the joint, and can give long-lasting,
if not permanent, relief of pain.
