If you are seeking effective treatment for ankle arthritis or osteoarthritis in the Fullerton area, turn to the orthopedic specialists at Full Range & Ortho. The three bones of the ankle combine to provide exceptional movement abilities. Without your ankle moving freely, you cannot walk, run or jump. These bones are subject to incredible wear and tear and pressure from bearing weight. When the ankles develop arthritis or osteoarthritis, it can seriously impede your freedom of movement and independence. Full Range Spine & Ortho offers Fullerton patients exceptional ankle arthritis and osteoarthritis treatment.
Arthritis, and especially osteoarthritis, are degenerative conditions that wear away the cartilage between the ankle bones over time. You may be at a higher risk of developing ankle arthritis or osteoarthritis if you are older, have a family history of ankle OA, have suffered ankle injuries in the past, are overweight and have a history of repeated high stress on your ankles.
Ankle arthritis and osteoarthritis develop slowly and get worse over time. You may come to experience:
- Pain and stiffness that is worse in the morning and after sitting a while
- Tenderness when someone touches or squeezes the joint
- Swelling all around or on one side of your ankle
- Decreased range of motion
- Difficulty walking
There is no cure for arthritis or osteoarthritis. However, regenerative medicine treatments can help to slow the progression and even regrow damaged cartilage in some cases.
