About Knee Pain & Cartilage Care

Cartilage is the smooth cushion that lines the ends of the bones in the knee. Injury or wear can damage it, causing pain, swelling and, over time, arthritis.

Early treatment — exercise, weight management, injections or arthroscopic cartilage procedures — can relieve pain and protect the joint for longer.
