Arthritis encompasses conditions causing joint issues, leading to pain and stiffness. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form, involving the changes in joint cartilage.​

Common Causes:
  • Age: Changes in joint structures over time.
  • Joint injury: Previous injuries can increase risk.
  • Obesity: Extra weight adds stress to joints which increases pain and stiffness.
  • Genetics: Family history can play a role.
  • Physiotherapy: Strengthening muscles around joints to improve support and facilitate daily movements.
  • Weight management advice: Discussions on reducing stress on weight-bearing joints.
  • Manual Therapy: Mobilization techniques to maintain joint flexibility and reduce discomfort.
  • Patient Education and Reassurance: Informing about arthritis to empower self-management and reduce apprehension.
  • Psychological support: Discussions and signposting to right resources to help ease your stress.
  • Steroid Injections: Can provide pain relief for inflamed joints.
  • Hyaluronic Acid Injections: May improve joint lubrication and reduce pain in knee osteoarthritis.
