Treatment of Arthritis

Arthritis literally means inflammation of one or more joints. Arthritis is frequently accompanied by joint pain and is commonly a source of lower back pain.

Lower back pain and stiffness may develop from ‘wear and tear’ to the spinal joints and discs resulting in damage to the articular cartilage. This can be degenerative in nature, be gradual in onset, and may become chronic.

Lower back arthritis can be seen in all age groups but is most common in older patients, obese individuals, heavy labourers and individuals with previous injuries to the spine.
