What does osteoarthritis really look like 👀 This side-by-side image shows a healthy knee joint next to a knee affected by Osteoarthritis (OA) — a condition that wears down the protective cartilage in your joints over time.

As cartilage breaks down, movement becomes painful, stiff, and in severe cases, bone rubs against bone. OA is especially common in the knees, hips, spine, and hands, but it doesn’t always mean surgery is your only option.

Many patients find relief through:
✔️ Physical or occupational therapy
✔️ Anti-inflammatory medications
✔️ Cortisone or hyaluronic acid injections
✔️ Personalized activity plans and chronic pain management

And if surgery is the right path, Dr. Balar and his team will guide you to a trusted specialist near you.

If joint pain is limiting your life, let’s talk about what’s possible.📞
