Dissolvable particle treatment provides lasting knee arthritis relief without surgery

Researchers have developed a minimally invasive treatment for knee osteoarthritis that uses tiny particles to reduce inflammation and pain without joint replacement surgery, ScienceDaily reported. The procedure targets abnormal blood vessels in the knee using particles that dissolve within hours. [1]

In a study involving 194 patients, 80 percent of participants experienced clinically meaningful pain relief that lasted for at least 12 months, according to ScienceDaily. The method blocks abnormal blood vessels to calm inflammation inside the joint. [1]

Finding non-surgical solutions is a major goal for managing joint health. As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, simple adjustments to walking styles can also relieve knee osteoarthritis pain as effectively as prescription drugs while slowing cartilage degradation. Nearly 25 percent of people over the age of 40 suffer from painful osteoarthritis. [2]

The dissolvable particle procedure offers patients struggling with knee osteoarthritis a potential alternative to major joint replacement surgery by delivering durable relief through a less invasive approach, ScienceDaily reported. [1]
