Knee pain doesn’t have to be your norm.
JAMA just highlighted what we see every day in the clinic: most knee pain — from osteoarthritis to patellofemoral pain to many meniscal issues — responds best to exercise-based rehab, guidance, and a targeted plan, not rushing to surgery.

📢 ICYMI: This Review summarizes current evidence regarding the diagnosis and management of adult —with a focus on (OA), patellofemoral pain (PFP), and meniscal tears.
Knee pain drives about 5% of all primary care visits. Globally, OA impacts over 650 million adults, PFP has a lifetime prevalence of 25%, and meniscal tears affect 12% of the adult population. OA is most common in patients aged 45+; PFP typically affects younger, active individuals.
First-line therapy for all three conditions centers on exercise, education, weight loss (for OA), and self-management. Most meniscal tears and PFP improve with rehabilitation—surgery is reserved for select cases. These conservative approaches may reduce pain and improve function, minimizing adverse effects and disability.
