Osteoarthritis Treatment in Ottawa: Relieve Joint Pain and Restore Mobility

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition that affects millions of Canadians, particularly those over the age of 50. Osteoarthritis is a disease that will affect the joints in your body and can gradually lead to some discomfort, stiffness, or a reduced ability to move freely. The most commonly affected areas include the knees, hips, spine, and hands.

​

At Kinoveo Physiotherapy Clinic, we help individuals in Kanata and the Ottawa region regain movement and manage the progression of osteoarthritis through evidence-based physiotherapy.

Recognizing the Symptoms and Risk Factors​

​

Osteoarthritis often develops gradually. You may notice stiffness first thing in the morning or after prolonged periods of sitting. Over time, joint pain, swelling, and decreased flexibility may begin to interfere with daily tasks like walking, standing, or climbing stairs.

Several factors can increase your risk of developing OA, including:

​

  • Age and joint wear over time

  • Prior injuries or surgeries

  • Genetics and family history

  • Obesity, which adds stress to weight-bearing joints

  • Muscles weakness

  • Lifestyle 

​

According to the Arthritis Society Canada, nearly 1 in 6 Canadians live with osteoarthritis, and early treatment is key to slowing its progression.

How Physiotherapy Can Help Osteoarthritis​

​

While OA cannot be reversed, the right treatment approach can significantly improve your quality of life.

 

At Kinoveo Physio, we design personalized rehabilitation programs to:

  • Improve joint mobility using hands-on treatment like manipulation and stretching

  • Build muscle strength around affected joints to offload pressure

  • Reduce inflammation and pain through modalities like dry needling, acupuncture, heat or cryotherapy

  • Educate patients on joint protection, activity pacing, and lifestyle changes

​

Movement is medicine. As noted by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, regular, guided exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage OA symptoms and prevent further deterioration of function.
