WHAT CAUSES ARTHRITIS?

There are several different types of arthritis, each of which is caused by different factors. Some common types include:
● Osteoarthritis – This type develops with age and affects the fingers, knees, and hips. Sometimes osteoarthritis follows a joint injury.● Psoriatic – This type can occur in people with psoriasis. It affects the skin, joints, and areas where tissues attach to bone. ● Rheumatoid – This type develops when the body’s defense system doesn’t work properly. It affects joints and bones and may also affect internal organs and systems.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT

Arthritis can’t be cured, but it can be managed with a combination of medicine and lifestyle changes. We can provide prescription medication, including NSAIDs and steroids, as part of our treatment. That said, making lifestyle changes like getting more exercise can effectively reduce symptoms and help you handle the disease better.
