What conditions are treated with rheumatological physiotherapy?
Gout is caused by a build-up of the chemical uric acid in the body which then forms crystals in certain joints. These crystals cause inflammation in the joint which can be very painful. Although uric acid is present in the body, it is usually excreted in urine before it builds up and can cause any damage. However, for unknown reasons, people with gout have an excess of uric acid in the body without it being removed. Physiotherapy is a very successful way to manage the symptoms of gout.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition that can affect a number of joints in the body. Usually, the articular surface (lining) and synovium (fluid-filled sac coving the joints surface) become inflamed which can then interfere with your normal hobbies or activities of daily living. The inflammation occurs as a result of the body’s immune system attacking various joints although the reason for this is not known. The inflammation may also affect the cartilage and the ligaments within a joint which can be very painful.
Physiotherapy is a very effective way of reducing these symptoms and we have specialist physiotherapists and occupational therapist that can provide you with a comprehensive treatment programme that is appropriate to meet your individual needs.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that is caused by inflammation of the joints in the spine. When the inflammation reduces, new bone forms in between the vertebrae causing the spine to fuse together which limits movement and can result in severe pain. Ankylosing spondylitis mainly affects young men in their twenties and thirties and is often genetic.
At Prognosia we focus on multi-dimensional recovery programme that includes High Power Laser Therapy (Class 4 Laser Therapy) Dry Needling, Functional exercises and spine adjustment therapies.
