Osteoarthritis

CONDITIONS

Manage joint pain and stiffness with treatments designed to improve mobility, reduce inflammation and support long-term joint health.

EXPLORE

Osteoarthritis is the gradual wearing of joint cartilage, causing pain and stiffness most often in knees, hips and hands. At Omnia Lifestyle in Chiswick we treat it with acupuncture, physiotherapy and manual therapy, combined after assessment to keep joints moving.

Common symptoms

  • Persistent aching, worse with use
  • Morning stiffness easing within half an hour
  • Crepitus and grinding
  • Flares — a hot, swollen joint beyond baseline
  • Gradual functional decline
  • Early-onset and symmetrical patterns where there's family history

How we treat osteoarthritis in Chiswick

The evidence is clear that movement protects arthritic joints. Your plan typically draws on physiotherapy and guided exercise to build the muscle that shields the joint, acupuncture for pain — recognised in osteoarthritis guidance — and manual therapy plus red light for flares and stiffness. Everything is chosen after a proper assessment — and paced around flares — at our clinic in Chiswick, West London.

A joint flare with high fever may be septic arthritis — seek urgent care. Sudden severe pain after even minor trauma deserves assessment to rule out fracture.
