Osteoarthritis Management in Exeter
Supporting Joint Health with Non-Surgical, Personalised Care
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and affects millions of people worldwide. At ROCK Spine and Joint Centre, we help individuals manage the symptoms of OA with a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and lifestyle support—without relying on medication or surgery.
What Is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition where protective cartilage wears down over time. As cartilage breaks down, bones begin to rub together, causing:
- Pain and stiffness
- Swelling and inflammation
- Reduced joint mobility
- Occasional bone spurs
OA can affect any joint, but it most often occurs in the knees, hips, hands, and spine.
Common Symptoms
- Joint pain during or after movement
- Morning stiffness or stiffness after rest
- Tenderness, swelling, or visible changes around the joint
- Reduced range of motion
How We Can Help
While OA can’t be cured, its symptoms can be managed effectively. At ROCK, we offer non-invasive, tailored care plans that may include:
- Manual therapy and joint mobilisation
- Massage and stretching techniques
- Strengthening and mobility exercises
- Postural and movement advice
- Cold laser or ultrasound therapy (if appropriate)
