There are over one hundred and fifty different types of arthritis and related disorders.

ARTHRITIS is defined as inflammation of a joint which sometimes can be red, stiff, sore, warm and tender.

RHEUMATISM is an umbrella term which includes joint problems and especially disorders of the soft tissues such as the muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Therefore fibrositis, muscle (myofascial) pain, bursitis, tendinitis, sprains, lumbago, disc disease, sciatica and whiplash are all "rheumatic" conditions.

It is now established that rheumatic disease is the greatest single cause of disability in Australia today affecting millions of Australians. It is also little known that effective treatment is available for all forms of arthritis and rheumatism and some types may even be prevented. Ask your clinic practitioner for further details.
