What if arthritis could be detected earlier? Dr. Knowles answers questions about osteoarthritis and his research.

Arthritis is often diagnosed only after lasting joint damage, leaving many people in pain for years without answers.

Canadian researchers are asking: What if arthritis could be detected earlier, before permanent damage occurs?

Dr. Nikolas Knowles at the University of Waterloo is working to make that possible. We’ve asked Dr. Knowles to answer some questions about osteoarthritis and how his research could change what’s possible for people living with this debilitating disease.
