Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It happens when tissues in the joint gradually change over time, which can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion, and difficulty with everyday movement. It commonly affects the hands, knees, hips, spine, and other joints used in daily activities.

Osteoarthritis can affect different joints in different ways. Some patients feel it most in the knees or hips. Others notice hand stiffness, grip changes, or discomfort in the spine. The right care starts with understanding where your symptoms are coming from and creating a plan focused on comfort, mobility, and daily function. If you are trying to understand whether your pain may be osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis, you can also read our guide on osteoarthritis vs rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis symptoms can develop slowly and become more noticeable with movement, activity, or daily routines. You may benefit from an evaluation if joint pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced motion, or changes in mobility are affecting your comfort, independence, work, exercise, or sleep.

Osteoarthritis treatment depends on which joints are affected, how symptoms are impacting your daily life, and what type of support your body needs. At Arthritis & Wellness Center, Dr. Natalia Chavez Stewart takes time to understand your symptoms, explain what may be happening, and guide you through a plan focused on comfort, movement, and long-term joint health. For a broader look at why joints may hurt, you can also read our guide to joint pain causes.

A clear diagnosis helps guide the right treatment plan. Your visit may include a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, physical exam, and imaging or lab work when needed. The goal is to understand what is causing your joint pain and how it is affecting your daily movement, work, sleep, and quality of life.

When appropriate, medication may help reduce pain, inflammation, and discomfort related to osteoarthritis. Dr. Natalia helps patients understand their options clearly, including what may be safe, what to avoid, and how each choice fits into their overall health.

For many patients, safe movement, strengthening, physical therapy, and daily habit changes can help support joint function and reduce stiffness. We help you understand what type of activity may be appropriate for your body, so your plan feels realistic, safe, and sustainable.

For some patients, joint injections may be part of the treatment plan. When appropriate, Dr. Natalia will explain the purpose of the injection, what to expect, and whether it may be a good option based on your symptoms, joint health, and overall care goals.
