ARTHROSIS
Arthrosis is the name for the wear and tear of a joint. The cartilage is worn down and the bone can be deformed in very severe cases. These conditions are painful and lead to movement restrictions.
The wear and tear of a joint is a completely natural process.
However, certain factors can speed up the arthrosis;
- False nutrition / wrong diet
- Undue pressure on the joint.
- Injuries
- Excess weight
- Rheumatoid arthritis
The following symptoms could be indications of arthrosis;
- Pain after longer intervals of sitting or lying down
- Stiff joints
- Swollen joints
- Warm joints
- Movement restriction
Usually an arthrosis can be clearly identified on an X-ray image.
With modern therapeutic measures an arthrosis can be avoided or stopped. Even when the arthrosis has been progressing it is still possible to find a therapy to reduce the pain for better mobility.
During our consultation we will discuss your issues and find a therapy concept specifically for you or we will identify possibilities to avoid arthrosis altogether.
