Getting a Complete Understanding of Your Knee Osteoarthritis: What to Expect During Assessment

All treatments must start with a full clinical examination to determine the root cause of the pathology and the list of symptoms to be treated. In order to do that, your doctor can:

  • Perform a series of physical tests or imaging (ultrasound, X-ray, MRI)
  • Assess the level of pain that you’re in, for example, using a 1-10 pain scale, 
  • Assess the level of chronicity of your knee osteoarthritis
