What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is the leading form of arthritis in the United States. Osteoarthritis typically occurs due to wear and tear that causes the cartilage between the joints to wear down. Due to the nature of this type of arthritis, those who are elderly or those who frequently do a repetitive motion involving joints, such as athletes or skilled laborers, are most likely to be affected by this condition. The condition typically affects the knees, hips, and hands, but can affect any type of joint, including shoulders and ankles. 

What Are the Signs of Osteoarthritis?

People in Fort Lauderdale, FL. who experience osteoarthritis may experience aches and pains, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion in the affected joints. For example, if your knees are affected, you can experience one or more of these symptoms in your knees. Many patients have more symptoms or an increase in their pain level when it is cold outside and when they are using the affected body parts more than normal. 

What Treatments Are Available For Osteoarthritis?

There are a number of different ways that osteoarthritis can be treated. Some are at-home remedies, while others can be done at a medical facility. Some of the ways that you may be able to help yourself with your osteoarthritis include losing weight, eating a healthy diet, using over-the-counter pain relievers, and using ice packs or heating pads as needed. No matter what the condition or ailment, our staff always utilize Osteopathic Manipulation, Neuromuscular Reeducation as well as Interventional injections.
