Understanding Arthritis:
Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more joints and can affect people of all ages, even children. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile arthritis. Osteoarthritis typically affects people over 50, causing stiffness, pain, and joint movement loss. Rheumatoid arthritis leads to joint lining inflammation, constant pain, and long-term joint damage. Juvenile arthritis refers to arthritis-related conditions that develop in children or teenagers under 18.
Support for a Better Life:
Although there is no cure for arthritis, treatment and lifestyle changes can reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further joint damage. Medications, surgery, gentle exercise, and therapies like heat, ice, water, and massage can provide relief.
At London Imperial Care, we offer the services you need to manage your arthritis at home, avoiding the disruptions of relocating to an assisted living facility. Together, we create a personalized care plan focused on what matters most to you, ensuring you enjoy the best possible quality of life.
