Do you have chronic joint pain, stiffness, or trouble moving around? You might have arthritis, one of the most prevalent joint conditions that affects millions of people globally, including many people in Lahore. Your routine tasks may be limited, and even basic tasks may become painful as arthritis wears down the cartilage that protects your joints. The good news is that arthritic symptoms can be effectively treated to improve mobility and quality of life with early diagnosis and appropriate physiotherapy treatment. Evidence-based arthritis therapies are available at Physio Resource (the best physiotherapist in Lahore).
What is Arthritis?
This most prevalent type of arthritis is caused by cartilage breakdown, which is a consequence of degenerative joint disease. The term “wear-and-tear” arthritis is used to describe this type of arthritis. As time passes and the joints begin to rub against one another, this disease occurs as a result of degeneration of cartilage (the flexible tissue connecting the joints). When cartilage deteriorates, joints lose the cushioning necessary for most effective movement and elongation. The synovial membrane becomes inflamed as a result of this loss of support, membrane which covers the joint.
The joints that are mainly effected by OA are knee, spine, shoulder, hip, hands and DIP joints.
Physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatment methods that can help control symptoms and enhance quality of life.
