Overview

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, but the most common are osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition). Arthritis can affect any joint in the body and tends to worsen with age.

While arthritis cannot be cured, its symptoms can be effectively managed through a combination of manual therapy, exercise, lifestyle modifications, and self-care strategies. At Versano Clinics, we focus on improving joint function, reducing pain, and helping you maintain an active, fulfilling life despite arthritis.

Symptoms

Joint pain that worsens with activity or at the end of the day

Morning stiffness lasting 30 minutes or longer

Weakness and muscle loss around affected joints

Causes

  1. Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone, most common in knees, hips, hands, and spine


  2. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Autoimmune disease causing inflammation in joint lining, typically affecting hands, wrists, and feet


  3. Psoriatic Arthritis: Arthritis associated with psoriasis, affecting joints and causing inflammation


  4. Gout: Inflammatory arthritis caused by uric acid crystal buildup, often in the big toe


  5. Juvenile Arthritis: Arthritis occurring in children under 16 years old

Living with arthritis can be challenging, but small changes in your daily routine can help reduce pain and improve mobility.
