Joint pain, stiffness and reduced mobility are common as we age, but persistent discomfort should not be ignored. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, ligament wear and reduced bone density can often be managed effectively when diagnosed early.
Orthopaedic specialists typically recommend a combination of physiotherapy, weight management and, where needed, minimally invasive procedures to restore mobility. Advances in joint replacement surgery have also made recovery faster and more predictable than before.
If joint pain limits your daily activities for more than two to three weeks, a consultation with an orthopaedic specialist can help identify the right treatment path.
