 "It is probably arthritis – you’ll just have to live with it “. We’ll probably all be told this at some point and it doesn’t matter how old you are, but is it true?
It is true that most of us will get the wear-and-tear type of arthritis, called osteoarthritis (OA, also known as degenerative arthritis, degenerative joint disease). OA is damage to the joints including cartilage and the bone next to it. Often it causes no pain at all but you merely notice a bit of stiffness, especially in the mornings or after a period of inactivity. Often people are told that they have arthritis when in fact they have simple joint dysfunction and no wear and tear at all. Even if OA is present there is a lot you do to help the symptoms, prevent it getting worse or even prevent it coming on at all. Here we will show you how. |

 Safe and effective arthritis treatment is something that many of us will need as we get older. But what works and what doesn't? NICE recommends exercise, mobilisation/manipulation, cushioning insoles and anti-inflammatory cream amongst other things. Also there is some evidence that laser therapy and glucosamine can help too. So we have put together a three month package of care to help manage the symptoms and save more than £75.
