Running Injuries

Comprehensive care for osteoarthritis (OA) is available at Revere Health, addressing this prevalent form of arthritis affecting millions worldwide. OA develops as the cartilage cushioning the joints deteriorates over time, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While it can impact any joint, OA primarily affects the hands, knees, hips, and spine.

Symptoms
Common symptoms of osteoarthritis include:

Pain: Often worsens during movement or after prolonged activity.
Stiffness: Noticeable, especially in the morning or after sitting.
Swelling: Resulting from inflammation around the joints.
Loss of Flexibility: Difficulty moving the affected joints.
Grating Sensation: A feeling or sound when using the joint.
Causes and Risk Factors
Osteoarthritis can develop due to several factors:

Age: The risk increases with age.
Obesity: Extra weight adds stress to weight-bearing joints.
Previous Injuries: Past joint injuries can accelerate cartilage wear.
Genetics: Family history can influence susceptibility.

By focusing on both immediate relief and long-term management, the service aims to enhance mobility and overall well-being for individuals living with osteoarthritis.
