Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation in the joints and brings pain, stiffness, and swelling. There are two types of arthritis: rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease affecting the joints, while osteoarthritis happens when the cartilage that cushions the joints wears down over time.
While arthritis can affect anyone, research proves that senior citizens are the most vulnerable. Physical mobility is often affected by the illness, so a simple task such as walking, climbing stairs, or holding an object becomes almost impossible.

At Mosaic Spine and Knee, our approach is to assess your individual situation and work with you in order to provide you with the best treatment to help you maintain an active lifestyle with minimal to no discomfort.
