What is the pain of arthritis or osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is an illness that causes the cartilage in your joints to wear out over time. This can cause pain, stiffness and swelling. It is one of the most common causes of long-term pain in older people, but it can also affect younger people, especially if they have a history of injury or are overweight.

Causes

Osteoarthritis is a condition that has a multifactorial origin, with the main causes being:

  • Aging: the natural deterioration of cartilage over time.

  • Excess weight can put pressure on joints, particularly the knees and hips.

  • Previous injuries sustained include fractures, sprains and poorly treated tears.

  • Genetic factors: family history of osteoarthritis.

  • Overuse or repetitive movements are a common occurrence in certain professional roles or sporting activities.

  • Joint misalignment can indicate structural issues that lead to irregular wear.

Treatment for osteoarthritis pain in CEAD

At CEAD, we specialise in providing advanced and personalised treatment solutions for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis-related pain, with a focus on enhancing their quality of life.

  • We offer specialised consultations with pain physicians, physiatrists, physiotherapists and deportologists.

  • Image-guided analgesic blocks are a non-surgical solution for pain management.

  • Joint infiltrations are typically accompanied by the administration of anti-inflammatory medications or hyaluronic acid.

  • Ozone therapy is an effective treatment for reducing inflammation and improving joint mobility.

  • Our personalised physiotherapy programme is designed to strengthen muscles and improve mobility.

  • Regenerative medicine is a valuable tool in the treatment of damaged joint tissue.

  • Hyperbaric chamber and serum therapy are used to support oxygenation and cellular recovery.

These treatments are effective in controlling pain, improving mobility and delaying disease progression, and they do so without the need for invasive surgery or the continuous use of medications.

Prevention

  • Maintaining an appropriate weight is important in reducing pressure on the joints.

  • It is recommended that you engage in moderate and consistent exercise, such as walking, swimming or cycling.

  • It is important to avoid carrying excessive weight or performing repetitive movements without rest.

  • It is imperative to protect joints during work or physical activity.

  • It is advisable to consult at the first symptoms in order to initiate early treatment and avoid complications.
