Our knees play an essential role when it comes to supporting our bodies and keeping us mobile. These joints support our weight and movements in all our routine activities. Hence a degenerative cartilage disease like osteoarthritis of the knee (also known as OA or gonarthrosis) can quickly become incapacitating in our everyday lives.
Most lower back pain is muscular or ligamentous in origin. Damage to the intervertebral discs or vertebrae can sometimes be the cause. Finally, some lower back pains are digestive, gynaecological or skin-related.
