Benefits of GP-Led Arthritis Care
What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that happens when the cushioning cartilage between bones wears away, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced movement over time.
This can cause bone to rub against bone, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. While it is a chronic condition, it is not a “life sentence” of pain. With the right musculoskeletal doctor guiding you, the symptoms can be managed successfully to maintain an active lifestyle.
