Arthritis is a chronic condition experienced by millions of people worldwide. Symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, inflammation and a reduced range of motion, which can impact day to day life and activity. It’s caused by changes in joint cartilage, bones, muscles and supporting structures and can present anywhere on your body. Some days can be better than others, and we are here to support you and help manage your arthritis.
