As we age, the cartilage in the knee joint may wear down over time, leading to osteoarthritis, the most common form of knee arthritis.

Trauma from sports injuries, accidents, or repetitive stress on the knee joint can increase the risk of developing arthritis in the affected knee.

Excess weight places added strain on the knee joints, accelerating wear and tear and increasing the risk of developing arthritis.

Family history and genetic factors may predispose individuals to develop arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis, at an earlier age.

Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation and damage to the knee joint, leading to arthritis symptoms such as pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Adopting a balanced diet and engaging in regular exercise to achieve and maintain a healthy weight can reduce stress on the knee joints and lower the risk of developing arthritis.

Incorporate low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling, or walking into your routine to promote joint flexibility, strength, and overall knee health.

Wear supportive footwear and use knee pads or braces during high-impact activities or sports to reduce the risk of injury and minimize strain on the knee joints.

Pace yourself during physical activities and avoid repetitive movements that place excessive stress on the knee joints, allowing adequate time for rest and recovery.

Perform exercises that target the muscles surrounding the knee joint, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles, to improve joint stability and support.

Maintain proper alignment of the knees while standing, walking, and exercising to reduce strain on the joint and prevent uneven wear and tear.

Pay attention to early warning signs of knee pain or discomfort and modify activities or seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen over time.
