Arthritis Treatment At Hackney Podiatry & Health
Arthritis is a chronic condition that affects the joints, causing inflammation, stiffness, swelling and discomfort. Over time, joint cartilage can wear down, leading to pain, reduced mobility and limitations in everyday activities. While it often develops gradually, arthritis can flare up suddenly, making walking, standing, gripping or bending uncomfortable. Commonly affected areas include the hands, feet, knees, hips and spine.
In daily life, arthritis can impact sleep, work, exercise and leisure activities, with stiffness often worse after periods of rest. Pain and swelling may fluctuate, leading to fatigue and reduced confidence in movement. Without management, arthritis can limit independence and reduce overall quality of life.
At Hackney Podiatry & Health, we take a holistic approach to arthritis care. Osteopathy helps improve joint mobility and alignment, while soft tissue massage, stretching and trigger point therapy reduce tension and discomfort. Acupuncture can ease pain and inflammation, while Podiatrists assess foot function and biomechanics to address contributing factors and recommend orthotics where needed.
Our personalised treatment plans aim to restore movement, reduce pain and support long-term joint health, helping patients remain active, independent and comfortable throughout daily life.
