Spinal Arthritis
Spinal arthritis, also known as osteoarthritis of the spine, is a degenerative joint disease that affects the spinal column. It is caused by the breakdown of cartilage and bone in the joints of the spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Pain and stiffness in the back, neck, or hips
- Reduced range of motion in the spine
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Wear and tear of the joints in the spine due to ageing
- Genetics
- Obesity and lack of physical activity
- Injuries or trauma to the spine
- Physical examination and medical history
- Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI or CT scans to evaluate the extent of the damage to the spine
- Blood tests to rule out other conditions
- Pain relievers such as acetaminophen or NSAIDs
- Pulsed Signal Repair Therapy helps to improve cellular function and promote healing in the body. It stimulates cellular metabolism and increases circulation, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve tissue repair, and promote overall healing.
- Physical therapy and exercises to strengthen the muscles around the spine
