Expert Knee Arthritis Care at OrthoArkansas

If knee arthritis is limiting your mobility and daily activities, it’s time to take control of your health. Whether you’re dealing with stiffness, swelling, or chronic pain, our orthopedic specialists at OrthoArkansas are here to help. We provide personalized treatment plans designed to reduce pain, improve function, and restore your quality of life.

What Causes Knee Arthritis?

Knee arthritis develops when the cartilage in the joint breaks down, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. The most common types include:
  • Osteoarthritis (OA) – Age-related wear and tear causing cartilage loss and joint pain. 
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – An autoimmune condition leading to joint inflammation and damage.
  • Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Arthritis that develops after a knee injury, such as a fracture or ligament tear.

Is It Time to See a Specialist?

If knee pain is interfering with your life, don’t wait to seek help. You may need to see a specialist if you experience:
  • Pain or stiffness that worsens over time.
  • Swelling or tenderness that persists despite rest.
  • Difficulty bending or straightening your knee.
  • Joint stiffness in the morning or after sitting for long periods.
  • Pain that doesn’t improve with medications or home treatments.
OrthoArkansas offers expert evaluation and a full range of treatment options to help you manage knee arthritis effectively.
