Common Causes of Arthritis

There are many types of arthritis, which means there are lots of potential causes as well. Arthritis takes place when two bony surfaces rub against one another, leading to pain and inflammation. Some of the most common causes of arthritis include:

• You may have worn down the cartilage in your joints due to chronic wear and tear.
• You may have developed an autoimmune infection that destroyed the cartilage in between your joints.
• You may have systemic inflammation stemming from a chronic injury or infection, which has led to the development of arthritis.

No matter what the cause of your arthritis might be, our team can help you develop a treatment plan.

Treating Joint Arthritis

If you visit Estner Injury Centers, there are several treatment options that we have available. First, we will do a comprehensive evaluation of your joints to figure out what areas are affected and what your range of motion might be. We may use adjustments and manual therapy to improve the alignment of your joints, reducing the stress placed on them. 

Then, we can help you strengthen the muscles around the affected joints to provide them with more support. That way, you don't feel as much pain and discomfort in your joints. Finally, we can also work with you to find ways to reduce inflammation throughout your joints. This could include dietary changes, exercises, and stretches to take care of your body.
