Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative (wear and tear) condition characterised by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in one or more joints of the body. Cartilage cushions and protects the surfaces of the bones during movement. Osteoarthritis usually develops as part of the ageing process and can restrict one's ability to perform everyday tasks without pain. Osteoarthritis can occur in various joints throughout the body, including feet, hands, spine, hips and knees. In the foot the disease most commonly affects the first toe joint but can also affect the joints in the forefoot. Foot pain can be experienced to different degrees in the foot and ankle often with swelling,stiffness and inflammation in or near the joint.
As the disease progresses the cartilage deteriorates and gets thinner. The surface of the bones lose their protective layer and eventually rub together. Injury can also lead to osteoarthritis although this may take many years to develop.
Treatment of osteoarthirits in the foot by a podiatrist is to pursue the relief of symptoms by palliative means such as orthotic devices, shoe inserts, gel cushions and strapping. Sometimes immobilisation of the foot may be necessary to allow acute inflammation to subside. In extreme cases medical intervention may be necessary to introduce oral medication and in some cases anti-inflammatory injections.
It is always adviseable for people suffering from arthritis in the foot and ankle to wear supportive footwear such as laceup shoes or trainers. Other recommended products for Arthritis :
