Common Symptoms And Care Plans For When Osteoarthritis Develops
At the Dynamic Foot and Ankle Center, we have treated numerous cases of Osteoarthritis. This is a common condition that has a higher chance of developing as you get older. It stems from the daily wear and tear of everyday living. It happens when the cartilage that acts as a joint cushion begins to break down, causing bone to bone friction. This condition can be very painful, making mobility more difficult. Symptoms of Osteoarthritis tend to include pain, tenderness, and stiffness. If you are concerned that you may have Osteoarthritis and need a diagnosis and care plan, we can help you right away!
Osteoarthritis
Our team understands just how challenging living with Osteoarthritis can be. If you are in pain, do not delay in getting the care you need. There are certain risk factors for developing Osteoarthritis, such as bone deformities, genetics, repetitive motion, obesity, and joint injuries. If you were born with a joint that does not function as it should, it can cause Osteoarthritis to develop. Some people have a genetic predisposition to this condition, while others may have it from playing sports or an injury accident. If you have extra weight on your body, this can apply added pressure onto joints and cause the cartilage to break down. If you perform repetitive motions for work or a hobby, this can add stress onto the joints as well. If you have questions about Osteoarthritis or would like an examination, contact us now!
Osteoarthritis is a condition that can break down the joints in the body. It often presents itself in the hands, knees, back, and hips. Symptoms may include stiffness, pain, and swelling in the affected joints. Over time, this can cause changes in the cartilage, bone, or joints. Some patients may struggle to do their everyday tasks. While it is a condition that tends to occur in those 45 years or older, it may not be a direct cause of aging. There are ways you can prevent or delay it, and things you can do to manage it if you already have it. Reach out to our clinic today for more information about this condition and our treatment approaches.
