Arthritic Pain
The most commonly discussed types of arthritis are as follows:
Osteoarthritis - A type of arthritis caused by 'wear and tear'. It happens gradually over time and can cause stiffness, restriction of movement, and pain.
Rheumatoid Arthritis - This is a chronic, progressive joint disease caused by long-term inflammation within the joints.
Psoriatic Arthritis - This type of arthritis affects people who have psoriasis. It frequently appears years after the original Psoriasis diagnosis.
There are several other types of arthritis, but these are the most frequently asked about.
We can help patients seeking relief from arthritic pain by carefully directing treatment to increase mobility and reduce the load on their spine or other affected joints. Better mobility allows patients to live more active lifestyles, which benefits both their mental and physical health.
