Did you know that exercise is as effective as a non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, like Aleve, in reducing pain in knee osteoarthritis(OA). Moreover, it is two to three times more effective than Tylenol in reducing knee pain!
What is Osteoarthritis?
OA is a very common condition of the knee joint. The knee joint is a connection between the tibia(shin) and the femur (thigh). It is made up of several structures: the bones, cartilage, synovial fluid and a joint capsule. The cartilage in a joint covers the ends of the bone. It is smooth and allows for the gliding of the bones. It is strong and flexible.
