Arthritis pain can develop in any joint where there is cartilage loss or damage. The knees tend to be especially prone to arthritis or osteoarthritis. Treating osteoarthritis is one of our core specialties.
If you aren’t ready for surgery, Dr. Torrance Walker and the orthopedic surgeons at Knee MD & Sports Medicine can explore various non-surgical treatments for arthritis pain relief. We want to perform the most conservative and minimally invasive procedure that will provide the greatest relief for the longest amount of time.
Every patient is treated as an individual, because no two patients are alike. What works well for one person may not be as effective for another patient.
As a knee arthritis specialist, Dr. Walker will take the time to thoroughly evaluate your arthritis pain and make a treatment recommendation based on your goals for recovery. We are accustomed to caring for active adults who are eager to get back to doing the activities they love – running, cycling, swimming, walking, dancing, sports, and more.
