What Is Arthritis
Arthritis is inflammation of the joint. It gives symptoms like joint pain, morning stiffness, and limited range of motion. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis (O.A) and rheumatoid arthritis (R.A). In osteoarthritis cartilage wear and tear leads to pain & swelling in the joint. It most commonly occurs in the knee, hip joint, and spine. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition of a joint. It mainly occurs in small joints like fingers and hands. There are risk factors like age, obesity, family history, or previous injury. If arthritis is not treated early it may get worse later. Bone cartilage is absorbing the pressure when you put stress on joints. Break down of cartilage can develop osteoarthritis.
Our Treatment Process
The physiotherapist will assess the affected joint range of motion, muscle flexibility, strength, and posture. They ask you about personal daily activity and your family history. Then they make a treatment plan and educate you about progress accordingly. The physiotherapist’s initial goal is to reduce pain and swelling, prevent joint stiffness and muscle tightness. To prevent arthritis avoid pressure from joints, use a proper brace or splint to protect joints, maintain a healthy weight and avoid injury and repetitive movement like running, jumping, etc. Modify the daily activity that increases pain. The physiotherapist can also train your overall fitness level.
