Why It Happens

Arthritis has causes. Treatment should target them.

There are more than 100 types of arthritis, so an accurate evaluation matters. Osteoarthritis comes from gradual cartilage breakdown, which brings pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that drives chronic joint inflammation. Psoriatic arthritis, linked to psoriasis, causes painful, swollen joints.

Many treatments fall short because they don’t address what’s stressing the joint. We look at posture and movement, repetitive motions, muscle imbalances, and how you walk, then build a plan around what we find. Whatever the type, the goal is the same: less pain, preserved function, and slower wear on the joint.
