Today we will talk about the factors that many doctors choose to use to set treatment programs for patients with #osteoarthritis, both those that are beginning to develop and those that are chronic. It must be noted that these are only opinions and assessment methods of Moves D Clinic. Each place may be different depending on the expertise of the doctor.
1. Evaluate from the stage of knee degeneration: It varies with the stage. If the stage is high, treatment must be frequent and continuous, especially stage 3, which if left untreated may reach stage 4. The clinic will not recommend injection treatment if stage 4 is left, because it is the most appropriate stage for surgery.
2. Evaluate from the patient's symptoms. If the symptoms are severe, it means that the knee joint has deteriorated quite a bit. Therefore, treatment must be as fast and thorough as possible to prevent the symptoms from getting worse.
3. Evaluate from expectations. Because each case has a different lifestyle, different expectations of treatment results, treatment steps and continuity must be different. But the most important thing is to check and treat quickly, then there will be the highest chance of a complete cure.
