La palabra artritis significa inflamaci\u00f3n de una articulaci\u00f3n y comprende numerosas enfermedades. Puede afectar a personas de cualquier edad, aunque su frecuencia aumenta con los a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
La artrosis es la forma degenerativa m\u00e1s habitual. El cart\u00edlago que recubre las superficies articulares pierde progresivamente sus propiedades. Factores como la edad, lesiones previas, ciertas enfermedades, el exceso de peso y algunas sobrecargas pueden acelerar el proceso.<\/p>\n
En fases iniciales puede no haber s\u00edntomas. Cuando el desgaste progresa pueden aparecer dolor, rigidez, inflamaci\u00f3n, calor local y p\u00e9rdida de movilidad. La valoraci\u00f3n combina la historia cl\u00ednica, la exploraci\u00f3n y, cuando est\u00e1 indicado, radiograf\u00edas.<\/p>\n
El tratamiento puede incluir control del peso, ejercicio adaptado, fisioterapia<\/a>, medicaci\u00f3n, infiltraciones y modificaciones de actividad. En fases avanzadas puede valorarse una artroscopia, una pr\u00f3tesis u otra intervenci\u00f3n seg\u00fan la articulaci\u00f3n y el caso concreto.<\/p>\n Mantener una actividad f\u00edsica razonable y evitar sobrecargas repetitivas ayuda a conservar la funci\u00f3n. Los suplementos no sustituyen una evaluaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y su utilidad debe valorarse individualmente.<\/p>\n Para conocer el grado de afectaci\u00f3n y las alternativas disponibles, consulte al Dr. Alf Neuhaus<\/a> o solicite una cita<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La artritis engloba numerosas enfermedades articulares; el diagn\u00f3stico y el tratamiento dependen de la causa y del grado de afectaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-de-salud"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5701"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5787,"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5701\/revisions\/5787"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicasandalf.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Prevenci\u00f3n y seguimiento<\/h2>\n
