Understanding Arthritis & Joint Pain

Arthritis Types & Sypmtoms

Broadly, arthritis can be divided into two main types: degenerative and inflammatory.

Degenerative Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, often referred to as "wear and tear" arthritis. It typically affects specific sites such as the hips, knees, or spine. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. Osteopathic treatment can often ease these symptoms and improve joint function.

Inflammatory Arthritis (Rheumatoid Arthritis)

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease that affects not only the joints but the entire body. It causes severe pain, stiffness, and often deformity. Osteopathic care, in conjunction with medication, can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life.

Our Osteopathic Approach to Treating Arthritis

  • Thorough Assessment

    To understand the extent of your condition, our osteopaths may require x-rays, blood tests, or even MRI scans. This thorough assessment helps us tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs.

  • Manual Techniques

    Our treatment focuses on improving mobility and reducing inflammation through gentle, manual osteopathic techniques applied to joints, muscles, and ligaments. These techniques are designed to reduce pain, ease swelling and enhance the range of joint movement.

  • Dietary & Lifestyle Advice

    In addition to manual treatments, we may provide advice on dietary and lifestyle changes that can help manage your arthritis. Certain foods and lifestyle factors can influence the severity of arthritis symptoms, and our guidance aims to support your overall health.

  • Personalised Care For All Ages

    Age is no barrier to osteopathy. We consider each patient individually and tailor our treatments to ensure they are gentle and effective for everyone, from children to seniors.
