An X-ray is usually the first and often only test performed to diagnose arthritis. This can be done conveniently during your visit with us, so you don’t have to make extra trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is arthritis?

Every joint in our bodies is lined with cartilage as a gliding surface for smooth motion and to absorb impact. This cartilage naturally wears down as we age and due to other factors, just like the tread on a tire. When the cartilage becomes too thin, you may develop painful symptoms, and that is when we say “you have arthritis in that joint.”

How is arthritis treated?

Generally, once you are done growing (in your teens), cartilage has severely limited potential to regenerate. In younger patients that lose cartilage from an injury in one spot in the joint, a focused cartilage transplant type of procedure can be performed. However, global degeneration of the cartilage lining of joints from age and genetics is inevitable. As such, while we can treat your arthritis and make you functional and pain-free again, there is no true “cure” for arthritis, just as there is no cure for aging.
