Services - Osteoarthritis

This is a degenerative disease of the joints where the normal cartilage in the joints start to break down. Subsequently, the adjacent bones start rubbing against one another leading to pain in the joine, reduced movement of the joints, and at times the formation of bone spurs. Osteoarthritis will progressively get worse. However it can be managed to slow down the progression of the disease.

The most common place where this occurs in the elderly is joints in your hands, knees and hips/spine. Dr. Armani believes patients with risk factors should follow the advice of their doctors and monitor their condition regularly. While age, sex, and genetics are all risk factors, obesity and certain metabolic diseases such as hemochromatosis (too much iron in body) contribute to the risk factors.
