Osteoarthritis
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Risk Factors include age, gender, obesity, joint injuries, genetics and occupational hazards.
Interventions 1
A combination of physical therapy and exercise will be an essential part of the recommendation for managing and treating osteoarthritis. TENS units are often used for short term pain relief and can be applied at home.
Medical and Surgical Modalities such as NSAIDs, Acetaminophen, Topical Analgesics and Corticosteroid/ Hyaluronic Acid Injections maybe prescribed for treating osteoarthritis.
High Intensity
Photobiomodulation Therapy (Pbmt)
There is justifiably growing interest in the use of Photobiomodulation (PBMT) therapy (Laser) for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The therapeutic effects of PBMT in improving pain and function have been widely supported in research studies. More recently research emphasis has moved to High Intensity (HI) PBMT from Low laser therapy. A study by Poenaru et al (2024), compared the two and demonstrated much better results with the HI PBMT for decreasing pain and improving function for Knee Osteoarthritis. Stating that the analgesic effect is rapid, cumulative and long lasting. A meta-analysis by Khalilizad et al (2024) found that High Intensity PBMT combined with exercise showed significant improvement in outcomes for both pain and improved knee function for Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) patients. A further systematic review and meta-analysis by Cai et al (2023), compared HI PBMT to other interventions for KOA. These included: other laser therapies, conventional therapies or exercise. The authors concluded that HI PBMT should be recommended for pain relief in patients with KOA over other treatments.
