Arthritic Pain
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.
