Camarillo & Thousand Oaks Foot Arthritis Treatment

Effective Treatment Approaches for Foot Arthritis in Newbury Park 

Arthritis is a chronic condition that causes inflammation in the joints. Inflammation creates painful, stiff feelings in the affected joints that make it difficult to move or flex them. There are many different types of arthritis that can affect the feet and ankles, but the most common types are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and posttraumatic arthritis.  

Common Symptoms of Foot and Ankle Arthritis

While there are several different forms of arthritis, there are a few common symptoms that can include:

• Joint pain, especially during movement
• Difficulty moving or decreased range of motion
• Joint tenderness or redness, usually when the area is touched
• Stiffness in the affected area

If you have joint pain that lasts for a long time without any sign of getting better, you may have arthritis.
