Trusted Arthritis Care

Arthritis — joint swelling and tenderness — is a leading cause of knee and hip joint pain and stiffness. Swelling in the joint destroys cushioning substances, such as cartilage or the synovial membrane that allow joints to move smoothly. Without cushioning, bones rub together, creating friction and causing joint pain.  

Our orthopedic specialists offer the latest arthritis therapies — including hip and knee arthritis treatment without surgery. Our team includes rheumatologists, physical and occupational therapists and pain management specialists to provide complete care. Our team approach ensures you get a treatment plan that helps you feel your best. 

Types of Arthritis We Treat 

There are more than 100 forms of arthritis and related diseases, but osteoarthritis — gradual, age-related wear and tear on your joints — is the most common arthritis that affects knees and hips.  

Other types of arthritis that affect your hips and knees include: 

• Ankylosing spondylitis – Swelling of the spine and the sacroiliac joint, where the spine meets the pelvis, which sometimes causes hip joint swelling 
• Post-traumatic knee arthritis – Cartilage breakdown from knee instability, caused by previous knee injuries or trauma 
• Psoriatic arthritis – Often affects the knees of people who have psoriasis (red, flaky skin) or a family history of psoriasis 
• Rheumatoid arthritis – An immune system disorder that mistakenly attacks the synovial membrane that lines the inside of hip and knee joints 
• Septic arthritis – Painful joint infection, caused by germs that enter the body from a penetrating injury to the joint, such as a dog bite
