OA 4th grade treatment
Hello!
This is for my father -
Is there any treatment for knee osteoarthritis (grade 4 advanced), when cartilage is fully gone, is bone and bone, both legs bent, can't even stand. I would like to know if ayurveda can totally cure it or it will just be pain management treatment?
I have heard that ayurveda can help to slow degeneration of the cartilage and that is all available in ayurveda. But in our situation cartilage is already gone. We are not looking for just pain management.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Better to go with surgery. As there has been a deformity like already bones are bent and cartilage has been worn out we can't newly generate which has been damaged. Only pain can be managed. But not that effectively.

Sir
Ayurveda can not bring back the cartilage or any other organ
But we can definitely help with reducing pain, further loss of bone tissue, and also improve his life style with regards to pain and walking
Next Steps
this requires a continues treatment for about 6 months to a year. some things can be done at home and some require a clinic based management. as you have not mentioned his age I suppose he is older than 65 considering your age.
