Osteoarthrosis treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Osteoarthrosis is the progressive wear of the cartilage that covers the joints, which causes pain and stiffness when moving them. It is one of the most common causes of joint discomfort in adulthood.

Most affected joints: Knees, hips, hands, and spine are usually the areas where the first symptoms appear.

Frequent symptoms:

• Pain that increases with activity and improves with rest
• Stiffness at the start of movement, especially in the morning
• A sensation of clicking or limitation in moving the joint

Who to see? The orthopedist, the trauma surgeon, and the rheumatologist evaluate this condition, and physical therapy supports functional recovery. When joint pain interferes with your daily activities, a professional evaluation helps to guide the most appropriate follow-up for you.
