Different Types of Arthritis
Arthritis can significantly impact your quality of life, but with the right treatment you can regain control and find relief. At The Hand Therapist, Michelle specialises in treating various types of arthritis, including:
Osteoarthritis
This common form of arthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness and swelling of the joints.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the lining of the joints resulting in pain, swelling and deformity. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing symptoms and preventing joint damage.
Psoriatic Arthritis
A type of inflammatory arthritis that affects some people with psoriasis causing joint pain, stiffness and swelling. This condition is often accompanied by skin changes.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
Affecting children and teenagers, JIA is autoimmune in nature. In the upper limbs, JIA most commonly affects the wrists and hands. Early diagnosis is important in order to initiate effective treatment and minimise potential damage to the body.
