Stopping Knee Pain Before It Starts By Ivanhoe Broadcast News on August 12, 2026

RALEIGH, NC. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Osteoarthritis may sound like just another part of getting older.

This condition is the leading cause of disability among adults.

Now, a research study is asking a different question: what if some of that damage could be stopped before the pain even starts? https://www.ivanhoe.com/?p=37442&preview=1&_ppp=c05e4ee5ee
