Arthritis Degeneration

Understanding Knee Arthritis and Degeneration

The knee joint is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and soft tissue that all work together to support movement and stability. Over time, wear and tear can cause the cartilage that cushions the joint to break down, leading to arthritis and degenerative joint disease.

This degeneration can cause:

• Chronic knee pain or stiffness
• Swelling or inflammation around the joint
• Grinding or clicking sounds during movement
• Pain when walking, climbing stairs, or standing
• Reduced range of motion

While these symptoms often worsen gradually, early care can help slow or even reverse some of the degenerative processes — especially when the joint is gently rehydrated and decompressed.

Common Causes of Knee Degeneration

Several factors can contribute to arthritis and degeneration in the knee joint:

• Repetitive stress from sports or work activities
• Past injury or trauma to the knee
• Poor joint alignment or posture
• Excess body weight or weak supporting muscles
• Age-related wear and tear
• Improper biomechanics in the hips, ankles, or spine

When the knee joint is compressed or misaligned, it loses its ability to circulate fluid and nutrients — which accelerates cartilage breakdown. That’s where knee decompression therapy comes in.

How Knee Decompression Therapy Helps

Knee decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle traction to stretch and separate the joint space in a controlled manner. This process:

• Reduces pressure inside the knee joint
• Promotes rehydration and nutrient exchange within cartilage
• Improves circulation and reduces inflammation
• Enhances joint mobility and comfort
• Supports natural tissue repair and regeneration

By relieving mechanical stress on the joint and restoring space between the bones, knee decompression helps your body heal itself more effectively — providing lasting relief without surgery.
