Knee Arthritis

Articular Cartilage Deterioration is the Major Cause of Knee Arthritis

Knee injuries are common especially in the childhood and young adult years. Sports, especially contact sports, can damage the ligaments attached to the two bones (femur and tibia) which make up the hinged joint called the knee. The cartilage that covers the underside of the femur and tibia can also be damaged.

The cartilage has a slippery surface that allows friction free as well as pain free movement when it’s not damaged, but wear and tear as well as injury and even surgery can cause osteoarthritis which inflames the knee or rheumatoid arthritis which can damage the knee.

Both forms of arthritis not only affect the knee joint they also have an impact on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Excessive weight or repeated knee injuries are usually the cause of osteoarthritis, but it’s also considered a genetic condition. Rheumatoid arthritis may manifest earlier than osteoarthritis, but both forms of knee arthritis can limit mobility and create other issues if they go untreated.

The common symptoms of knee arthritis are swelling, a decrease in knee motion, stiffness in the morning, pain in the front and back of the knee, and occasional joint locking or a clicking sound in the joint. X-rays as well as a physical examination usually reveal a loss of joint space due to cartilage deterioration. Arthroscopy is also used to identify damage to tendons, ligaments, and cartilage, and it’s also used to repair the damage.

Surgery is Not the Only Solution for Knee Arthritis

Arthroscopy and conventional knee surgery does help some knee arthritis sufferers get movement back in the knee joint, but the arthritis can return after those surgical procedures are performed. Non-prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Synotrex is used to treat knee arthritis. Synotrex helps strengthen the knee and the cartilage so joint movement increases.

Since cartilage has a hard time healing without some sort of help, several new alternative treatments are being used to treat knee arthritis. One of the major building blocks of cartilage is glucosamine and it also stimulates cartilage growth. Chondroitin is another cartilage building block and when they are combined with other vitamins and minerals cartilage begins to regenerate.

Synotrex’s proven advanced knee joint pain relief formula contains those ingredients as well as Biocell Collagen II, Calcium, Cetyl Myristoleate, MSM, Ginger Root, Turmeric, Hyaluronic Acid, White Willow Bark, and SAM-e. Synotrex is formulated to help the body heal cartilage and inflamed joint linings which reduce knee arthritis symptoms.
