What is osteoarthritis?
The most common joint problem in Alicante
Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent joint disease. It is characterised by progressive wear of the cartilage covering the joint surfaces, which causes friction, inflammation and pain. It mainly affects the knee (gonarthrosis), hip (coxarthrosis), spine (spondylarthrosis) and hands. Physiotherapy is the first-line treatment recommended by the main clinical guidelines.
Mechanical pain
Pain appears with movement and load and eases with rest. In advanced stages, rest or night pain may appear due to associated inflammation.
Joint stiffness
A feeling of stiffness when starting to move, especially in the morning or after a period of rest. It usually resolves in under 30 minutes, unlike arthritis.
Crepitus and locking
Joint noises (clicking, crepitus) when moving the affected joint, and sometimes a feeling of locking or the joint giving way.
Loss of mobility
Progressive reduction in joint range of motion that limits activities of daily living: climbing stairs, bending down, walking long distances.
