Joint Disease & Arthritis
Arthritis is inflammation of a joint. Left alone it takes range, then strength, then the things you actually do.
The approach
How joint disease & arthritis care runs here
Arthritis covers several different diseases: osteoarthritis from wear, rheumatoid arthritis from an immune process, and other inflammatory joint conditions. They damage joints differently and need different management.
The aim is to keep the joint working and to slow what can be slowed — through therapy, medication management, injections and load management, long before surgery enters the conversation.
When a joint is genuinely worn out, replacement is not a failure of that plan. It is the point at which replacing the surface gives you back more than managing it can.
