Knee osteoarthritis is a complex disease that affects the whole joint, including bone, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. Osteoarthritis is a common cause of pain and movement difficulty, affecting 8.3% of people in Australia.
When pain persists, many people look for quick, convenient options, such as injections. Clinics offer several types of knee injections, including:
- corticosteroids
- hyaluronic acid
- platelet-rich plasma
- stem cells.
