Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is a complex and chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. The causes of arthritis are multifactorial and can involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

 

  • Age:  Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, often develops with age as joint cartilage naturally degenerates over time. 

 

  • Autoimmunity:  Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are autoimmune disorders, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissues. 

 

  • Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can contribute to joint damage and lead to various forms of arthritis.

 

  • Joint Injuries: Previous joint injuries, such as fractures or dislocations, can increase the risk of developing arthritis later in life.                                                                                                                                 

  • Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to certain types of arthritis.                                                                                                                                              

  • Lifestyle Factors: Obesity is a significant risk factor for arthritis. Excess weight puts added pressure on the joints, leading to accelerated wear and tear.

 

Common Types Of Arthritis 

At M.K. Clinic And Physiotherapy Center, we understand the importance of comprehensive care to enhance your quality of life and manage arthritis effectively.

Our experienced team has successfully helped individuals with various types of arthritis, including:
 

1. Osteoarthritis:

Osteoarthritis is a prevalent form of arthritis that often arises due to age-related wear and tear on joint cartilage. The deterioration of cartilage leads to joint pain, swelling, and reduced mobility, primarily affecting weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips, and the spine.

 

Symptoms:

  • Joint pain and stiffness

  • Swelling 

  • Reduced range of motion 

  • Grinding sensation during movement

 

Causes:

  • Ageing

  • Joint injuries 

  • Genetic factors

  • Obesity

 

Treatment:

  • Strength training

  • Manual therapy 

  • Mobility training

  • Heat and cold therapy

 

 

2. Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissues, resulting in chronic inflammation, pain, and joint damage. It can affect multiple joints simultaneously and may lead to deformities and disability if not managed properly.

 

Symptoms:

  • Joint pain 

  • Morning stiffness

  • Fatigue

  • Swelling 

  • Symptoms of flu

 

Causes:

·

  • Genetics

  • Smoking

  • Age

  • Poor response of the immune system

 

Treatment:

·

  • Manual therapy

  • Stretching exercises

  • Muscle strengthening exercises

  • Low impact aerobics

 

3. Psoriatic Arthritis:

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition commonly associated with psoriasis, a skin disorder. This type of arthritis affects the skin, nails, and joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. Joints like the fingers, toes, and spine can be impacted.

 

Symptoms:

·

  • Joint pain

  • Red patches 

  • Separation of nails from the nail bed

  • Swelling

  • Lower back pain and stiffness

 

Causes:

  • Immune system dysfunction

  • Genetics

  • Infection

  • Age

 

Treatment:

  • Range of motion exercises

  • Strength training

  • Hydrotherapy

  • Manual therapy

 

4. Ankylosing Spondylitis:

Ankylosing spondylitis primarily targets the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing chronic inflammation and potentially leading to fusion of the bones of the spine. This fusion results in stiffness and reduced flexibility in the back and neck.

 

Symptoms:

  • Low back pain and stiffness

  • Pain and inflammation in the buttocks and hips

  • Limited range of motion in the spine

  • Fatigue and discomfort in the neck, shoulders, and ribs

 

Causes:

  • Genetics

  • Abnormal immune system response

  • Age

  • Environmental factors

 

Treatment:

  • Stretching exercises

  • Strength training

  • Manual therapy

  • Posture training

  • Cold and heat therapy

 

Benefits Of Physiotherapy For Arthritis

 

Physiotherapy offers numerous benefits for individuals with arthritis. Here are some of the key advantages of physiotherapy in managing arthritis:

  • Pain Management:  Arthritis often causes persistent joint pain, limiting your ability to perform daily activities. Physiotherapy includes various pain management techniques which can significantly reduce pain and improve joint function.
                           

  • Increased Joint Flexibility: Physiotherapy focuses on enhancing joint range of motion and flexibility. Therapists employ targeted exercises and gentle stretching techniques to increase joint mobility, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.
                                                                                                    

  • Strengthening Muscles: Weak muscles can exacerbate arthritis symptoms and put additional strain on the affected joints. Physiotherapists develop personalized strength training programs to strengthen the surrounding muscles, which helps stabilize the joints and reduce stress on them.                                                                                                                                                   

  • Enhanced Balance and Coordination: Arthritis can affect balance and coordination, increasing the risk of falls and injuries. Physiotherapy interventions, including balance exercises and proprioceptive training, improve body awareness and stability, reducing the likelihood of accidents.                                                                                                                                               

  • Joint Protection Techniques: Physiotherapists teach individuals with arthritis how to protect their joints during daily activities, such as bending, lifting, and carrying objects.
