Arthritis
can be divided into two broad categories -
Degenerative and Inflammatory. each has it's own
features and respond in different ways to treatment.
they both however affect you mobility and can be
very painful. This can have a marked impact on your
daily life and you should not let the symptoms
persist.
Osteoarthritis
is a degenerative condition
often called "wear and tear". It is the commonest form
of arthritis and can affect up to 60% of the
population. It is usually due to overuse or trauma
and can have a genetic component. Its main features
are pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.
Many people mistakenly assume
that they simply have to learn to live with the symptoms of
this condition and it is true that nothing can be
done to affect the degeneration that has already
occurred. However, in many cases appropriate
treatment such as acupuncture, with good advice
regarding exercise can affect the
symptoms of stiffness and pain thus allowing you to
get on with your life.
Inflammatory arthritis,
such as Rheumatoid
Arthritis (RA) are systemic conditions that affect the
whole body, including the joints. Osteopathic
treatment may be of some help, alongside medication,
in alleviating some of the symptoms.
