Osteoarthritis – Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists

Osteoarthritis Treatment at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the protective cartilage cushioning the ends of your bones wears down over time. This condition affects millions of people, primarily older adults, and can cause significant pain, stiffness, and mobility issues. At Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists, we are dedicated to providing effective treatment options to help manage osteoarthritis and improve your quality of life.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

The symptoms of osteoarthritis can vary depending on the affected joint but commonly include:

Joint Pain: Aching pain in the affected joint, particularly during or after movement.
Stiffness: Joint stiffness, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
Swelling: Swelling and tenderness around the joint.
Decreased Mobility: Reduced flexibility and range of motion.
Grinding Sensation: A feeling of bone rubbing against bone during movement.

Osteoarthritis in the Spine

While osteoarthritis most commonly affects the hands, knees, hips, and spine, it can also impact the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. When osteoarthritis affects the spine, it can lead to chronic pain, nerve irritation, and reduced mobility.
