Cure for Arthritis, or just treatments? Hip and Knee - Hervey Bay or Maryborough

Osteoarthritis of the hip and knee is among the most common causes of joint pain and stiffness, particularly in the ageing population. It is understandable that many patients inquire about the possibility of a cure.

At present, there is no known cure for osteoarthritis. However, this does not mean the condition is untreatable. All stages can be managed with appropriate care, with the goal of reducing pain, maintaining joint function, and improving overall quality of life.

While structural joint changes associated with arthritis are irreversible, early diagnosis and a comprehensive management plan can significantly make a significant difference. Management is highly individualised, taking into account the severity of symptoms, functional limitations, and each patient’s specific goals.
