Thinking about knee surgery? Before you decide, it’s important to understand there are non-surgical treatments for knee arthritis that may help you reduce pain and improve function, especially if you’re not ready for a knee replacement.
In this video, we break down surgical vs non-surgical treatments for knee arthritis, including why many people get told “come back when it’s bad enough,” and what conservative options may still be worth exploring. We also explain why symptom-only approaches don’t always support long-term outcomes, and why your plan should focus on function, joint health, and quality of life, not just short-term relief.
At Orthobiologics Associates, our approach is to evaluate the full picture (joint damage, lifestyle, metabolic health, and goals) and help you navigate options that fit your situation. In many cases, patients want to avoid knee replacement or delay it as long as possible, so the goal becomes finding the right combination of conservative care and advanced non-surgical strategies.
