Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is commonly associated with aging, but it can also develop after a traumatic injury or at any age due to genetics. The classic sign of arthritis is aching joints that swell and become stiff due to gradual deterioration of cartilage – the tissue that cushions the joint. If left untreated, arthritis pain can become disabling..
Osteoarthritis symptoms may include:
- Joint pain
- Joint tenderness
- Joint swelling
- Joint stiffness
- Loss of flexibility
- Grating sounds or feeling in joints
- Bone spurs
If you have osteoarthritis due to aging or an injury, we encourage you to learn more about your options with stem cell therapy or PRP therapy.
