Arthritis Treatment

What is arthritis?


Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. There are different types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

In Australia, arthritis affects more women than men, particularly osteoarthritis, which is more common in postmenopausal women due to hormonal changes. It’s estimated that 1 in 7 Australians live with some form of arthritis, making it a significant public health concern.

At TelehealthDr, our experts treat each patient uniquely based on the details provided by them and recommend ways that can target the painful joint, reduce inflammation, manage pain, and promote joint healing.

How unmanaged arthritis affects the quality of your life?


Unmanaged arthritis can majorly impact your life as the pain associated with it can be overwhelming. It can:

    • Restrict mobility, making it difficult to walk, bend, or climb stairs.
    • Limit the ability to perform daily activities, such as cooking, cleaning, or shopping.
    • Cause discomfort while sitting or standing for prolonged periods, which can affect your productivity at work.
    • Lead to chronic pain, which can result in depression and anxiety.
    • Disrupt sleep due to sharp pain, causing tiredness and irritability.

Can lifestyle changes help with arthritis pain?

Lifestyle changes can help pain and inflammation linked with arthritis, such as engaging in gentle exercises, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, using supporting/grip bandages or braces, applying warm or cold compresses to reduce inflammation, and focusing on a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. However, some forms of arthritis can be severe, such as rheumatoid arthritis, that need medical intervention to get better.

Frequently Asked Questions


The main causes of arthritis depend on the type. Common causes include ageing, genetic factors, joint injury, and autoimmune disorders. Osteoarthritis, for example, is typically due to wear and tear of the joints over time, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition.

Managing arthritis involves a combination of treatments. This can include medications like pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes such as gentle exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and using supportive aids like grip bandages.

Arthritis can begin at any age, though it is more common in older adults. Osteoarthritis typically begins in people over 50, while rheumatoid arthritis can start earlier, often between the ages of 30 and 60. Certain forms of arthritis, like juvenile arthritis, can affect children.

Arthritis may not be cured. However, with proper treatment, many people can manage their symptoms and maintain a good quality of life. Treatment focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility, and preventing further joint damage.

Arthritis can be serious, particularly if left untreated or unmanaged. It might not lead to life-threatening conditions, but it can most certainly cause unbearable pain and severe joint damage, which can significantly affect the quality of life.
