Can an Osteopath Diagnose Arthritis?
Understanding Arthritis and Its Symptoms
What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a broad term used to describe a group of conditions that affect the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and inflammation. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, but the two most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the protective cartilage between the bones gradually wears down. This results in bones rubbing directly against each other, causing pain, swelling, and reduced mobility, particularly in weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine.

Thanks to Tom for treating me before and after my Marathon last year – I literally would not have been able to do it without him. He also treated me for a pulled shoulder and neck pain. I'll definitely use Sanderstead Osteopaths again – highly recommend! 👍

Can Osteopaths Work with Your GP or Specialist?
I’ve been seeing David for 10+ years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’ve recently taken my 15year old son to David as he has had some health issues effecting his muscles and joints, he has experienced immediate improvements. I also recommended my mum who sees another member of the team and again, is really pleased with the treatment and outcome 5⭐️

I took my newborn daughter to David due to her being very gassy and unsettled. Within the first week of David seeing her she was a lot more settled and was sleeping for a lot longer at night. I would highly recommend the treatment here with David for anyone with newborns with similar issues.
