Osteoarthritis treatment in Saltillo

Osteoarthritis is the progressive wear of the cartilage that covers the joints, which causes pain and loss of mobility. It is more common with age and usually affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine.

Common symptoms:

• Joint pain that increases with use
• Stiffness, especially at the start of movement
• Creaking or limitation when moving the joint

When to see a doctor? If joint pain limits your daily activities or the stiffness persists, it is worth consulting about it.

Which specialist treats it? Osteoarthritis is evaluated by the orthopedist, the trauma surgeon, and the rheumatologist, with support from the physical therapist to maintain mobility. A professional evaluation helps to protect the joints and preserve quality of life.
