We understand that arthritis can be scary.
Osteoarthritis, often erroneously called Arthritis is effectively wear & tear of your joints. When this happens in the spine it is called spondylosis. Both are a normal part of the ageing process but the associated pain is often optional! Although Osteoarthritis and Spondylosis are non-reversible conditions, we frequently find that most of the pain & symptoms people are experiencing arise from factors external to the "arthritis". In a nutshell: you may have osteoarthritis but your pain could be caused by something else - like surrounding muscles, which can be very easy to fix. The pain associated with the wear & tear of joints often comes from the muscles and surrounding soft tissues. Keeping those in good condition and improving the bio-mechanical function of the area can often be enough to suitably reduce the symptoms and save you a lot of pain and a lot of pain-killers! Is it Not Worth Finding Out? |

Inflammatory Arthritis
NOTE: Inflammatory types of Arthritis such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis and other types of Axial Spondyloarthritis are very different conditions to the "arthritis" related to wear and tear.
Osteopathic treatment can be effective with helping to manage the symptoms as mechanical pain often co-exists with these conditions. For safety reasons, we will typically exclude manipulative therapy from our treatment protocol when a flair of inflammatory arthritis is reported or suspected but don't worry, there's still a lot of effective techniques in our tool bag!
