Joint Preservation focuses on protecting and maintaining the natural joints for as long as possible, particularly when early cartilage damage, arthritis, sports injuries, or other joint problems are present. The goal is to reduce pain, improve joint function, and delay or avoid joint replacement surgery when appropriate. Joint preservation treatments may include: - Physiotherapy and targeted exercises - Weight management and activity modification - Medication and injections when appropriate - PRP and other regenerative treatment options - Arthroscopic procedures for selected conditions - Cartilage and ligament repair procedures - Corrective procedures to improve joint alignment Early evaluation can help identify joint problems and determine whether a preservation approach is suitable. The appropriate treatment depends on the joint involved, the extent of damage, age, activity level, and overall health.
