The Most Common Myths About

Arthritis

You've Been Told By Doctors, Friends and Social Media That Have Led To More Pain

Here are some of the most common arthritis myths that people who visit Essex Coast Physio in Southend have been told, which have actually hindered their progress and delayed their recovery from the condition.

MYTH #1 - You just have to live with it – it’s part of getting older

A common myth we hear from our patients is that arthritis and joint pain are just part of aging and that they simply have to live with it. This is not the case. Regardless of your age, we’ve had thousands of positive outcomes with patients of all ages, where we've successfully treated their joint pain with the treatments available to us in the clinic. Age is not a barrier to treatment.

MYTH #2 - Arthritis will just keep getting worse as you get older

Another common belief is that once you're diagnosed with arthritis, it will only get worse as you age. Patients often feel like it's a runaway train they can’t stop. This is not true. With the right treatment at the right time, we can slow the progression of the disease. We've even had cases where X-rays taken two or three years apart show no progression of arthritis, thanks to the consistent treatment our patients have received.

MYTH #3 - Painkillers are the only answer

Probably the most common myth we hear is that painkillers – whether in the form of tablets or injections – are the only solution. Many of our patients don’t want to be dependent on painkillers for the rest of their lives, especially when those come with undesirable side effects and don’t address the root cause of the problem. Painkillers might mask the pain temporarily, but they don’t solve the underlying issue. At Essex Coast Physio, we focus on addressing the root cause of your pain, ensuring long-term, meaningful change and improvement in your symptoms.

MYTH #4 - Surgery is the only option left

Finally, another myth is that surgery is the only option when joint pain becomes unbearable. Surgery doesn’t always work and certainly doesn’t have a 100% success rate. If you’ve heard this myth, we want to reassure you that there are many other options available. You don't have to live with the pain or wait for surgery. There’s hope, and with the right treatment, you can get back to doing what you love without being a prisoner to your joint pain. Life is short – don’t wait to seek help and enjoy life to the fullest.
