Knee arthritis can significantly impact daily life, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. X-rays can help diagnose the extent of the condition, revealing joint space narrowing, bone spurs, and cartilage loss.

Physiotherapists play a vital role in managing knee arthritis. Treatment plans may include:
1. *Exercise programs*: Gentle exercises to improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion.
2. *Pain management*: Techniques like heat, cold, or electrical stimulation to reduce pain and inflammation.
3. *Manual therapy*: Joint mobilization and soft tissue techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness.
4. *Assistive devices*: Recommendations for canes, walkers, or orthotics to reduce stress on the knee joint.
