Arthritis Pain

You might be surprised to know that there are many different kinds of arthritis. The ones we treat most often are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The most common type, by far, is OA, which affects over 27 million Americans according to the Arthritis Foundation.

OA sufferers commonly have joint pain, swelling and the breakdown of cartilage that cushions your bones for ease of movement.

Over 1.3 million more people suffer from RA. Their symptoms include joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness, fatigue, numbness and tingling in the hands. No one knows what causes arthritis.
