Arthritis
There may not be a cure (yet), but there is certainly plenty that can be done to help manage the condition and minimise the symptoms of arthritis.
Along with our tried and tested treatment philosophy, we will spend extra time working with you to help ensure you fully understand the nature of your condition and how to best manage it yourself moving forwards.
We understand that there is a lot of confusion, hearsay, and misinformation out in the world regarding arthritis. If you would like to speak with one of our specialists to find out what is best for you we would be delighted to help.
It is not always realised that there are actually over 200 (!) types of arthritis – or musculoskeletal conditions. They are split into three classifications:
- Inflammatory arthritis – such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout
- Non-inflammatory arthritis – such as osteoarthritis, scoliosis, torn ligaments
- Connective tissue disease – such as lupus, sclerosis, Sjogren’s syndrome
