As we age, our bodies go through many changes—one of the most common being a gradual decline in joint health. For seniors, joint problems like stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility can affect everyday life. At OrthoRAB Hospital in Anand, our expert orthopaedic team provides comprehensive care to help seniors maintain mobility and comfort.
👴 Common Joint Problems in the Elderly
Aging can lead to wear and tear in the joints, making seniors more prone to:
-
Osteoarthritis – cartilage breakdown causing pain and swelling
-
Rheumatoid Arthritis – an autoimmune condition that inflames joints
-
Reduced Flexibility – due to muscle weakening and joint stiffness
-
Joint Degeneration – from years of activity and lower bone density
These issues often result in difficulty with walking, climbing stairs, or even simple tasks like getting out of bed.
💡 Everyday Joint Care Tips for Seniors
While aging is natural, you can take steps to manage joint health:
-
Stay Active with Low-Impact Exercises
Gentle exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga can improve flexibility and strengthen supporting muscles. -
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess weight puts extra pressure on joints, especially the knees and hips. A balanced diet helps in managing body weight and inflammation. -
Follow Joint-Friendly Diet
Include calcium, Vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, nuts, and berries. -
Use Supportive Footwear and Aids
Wearing orthopedic shoes or using a cane can reduce stress on weight-bearing joints. -
Get Regular Orthopaedic Check-Ups
Early detection of joint issues can prevent long-term complications. Our team at OrthoRAB Hospital, Anand offers tailored assessments and treatment plans.
