Condition
Osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced tolerance for activity.
What patients notice
Symptoms often affect the knee, hip, shoulder, hands, or spine. Pain may worsen with activity or after inactivity, and stiffness may be most noticeable in the morning or after sitting.
Non-operative sports medicine care can help patients stay active while managing symptoms and protecting joint function.
How it is treated
Treatment may include strength training, low-impact conditioning, mobility work, activity planning, braces, medication guidance, and injections when appropriate.
For mild-to-moderate arthritis, Dr. Jones can discuss options such as corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation when applicable, or PRP for select patients.
