What is Arthritis Treatment In London?
Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation in one or more joints, leading to pain, stiffness and swelling. There are many types, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common. Osteoarthritis results from wear and tear of cartilage over time, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks the joints. Arthritis can affect people of all ages but is more common in older adults. Factors such as genetics, previous injuries, repetitive joint stress and lifestyle can all contribute. At Fit2Function Oxford Circus, we work with individuals managing both early and advanced stages of arthritis, aiming to reduce pain, restore joint function and maintain independence.
What Are The Symptoms Of Arthritis?
Arthritis symptoms often develop gradually and may vary depending on the type of arthritis. Common signs include joint pain, stiffness (especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity), swelling and limited range of motion. Some people may notice redness or warmth around affected joints, fatigue or muscle weakness. In more severe cases, arthritis can cause joint deformity or instability. These symptoms can affect daily tasks such as walking, gripping objects, climbing stairs or sitting comfortably. At Fit2Function, we take a detailed approach to understanding how arthritis is affecting your life so we can build a treatment plan that targets your specific symptoms and goals.
What Are The Common Causes Of Arthritis?
Arthritis can be caused by a variety of factors, depending on the type of arthritis you have. Osteoarthritis is typically linked to age related wear and tear, joint overuse, past injuries or obesity. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is caused by an autoimmune response where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joint lining. Other forms of arthritis, such as gout or psoriatic arthritis, are linked to metabolic or inflammatory processes. Genetic predisposition, joint misalignment and sedentary lifestyles can also increase your risk. At our Oxford Circus clinic, we focus on identifying contributing factors and developing a plan to reduce joint stress, manage inflammation and slow the progression of your condition.
