Arthritis is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
Patients frequently come to me with chronic pain in their back, hips or knees and state, “Oh that’s just my arthrits — it flares up when the weather changes or I do too much — there’s nothing anyone can do.” As a doctor who pinpoints the “cause” of pain, using the “catch all diagnosis” is not enough for me. There’s a reason why you have arthritis in that joint.
Arthritis (specifically osteoarthritis) is a degnerative process that only occurs when there is too much wear and tear on a particular joint surface. As the wearing process continues over the years, the body forms protective bone spurs to make the area more stable, which in turn causes pain. If arthritis only occurs when there is too much wear and tear, shouldn’t we look to see why there is too much pressure on that joint? After identifying the cause of this pressure, if we remove it, wouldn’t that stop arthritis in it’s tracks?
