While there is no cure for arthritis, certain treatments can relieve symptoms and slow the condition’s progress. Dr. Nakul Karkare of New York offered six tips for preserving the knees.
Arthritis can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, which can contribute to weight gain and increased pain, the doctor said.
"These activities can help strengthen the muscles around your knees without putting excessive pressure on the joints," he said. "Before exercising, make sure to warm up and perform gentle stretches," the doctor suggested."This can help improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury."3. Use assistive devices and braces
Those with arthritis should try low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling and walking, said a joint replacement surgeon in New York.
