Arthritis is a chronic or long-term condition which can affect any joint in your body. It is most commonly experienced in a person's weight baring joints. It will affect most people at some point in their lives as we all live longer, and is progressive in nature. Flare ups can be agonising and render a person temporarily disabled; however, most people can manage this condition, often achieving periods without severe pain or disability. A combination of physical therapy and the correct exercises completed regularly is often enough to minimise the risks of flare ups, and keep an arthritic joint as healthy as it can be.
During a flare up, hands on treatment within the clinic can greatly relieve symptoms and get your joint to its normal healthy state.
