Our comprehensive approach focuses on improving our patients’ quality of life by alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting mobility.
What is Osteoarthritis and Arthritis?
- Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease that causes the wearing away of cartilage, generating pain, stiffness, and limitation in movement. It is common in older people, but it can also affect younger individuals due to injuries or genetic factors.
- Arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation in the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common types and can affect multiple joints, causing pain, swelling, and, in advanced cases, damage to joint tissue.
