Arthritis
Arthritis impacts different people in different ways. Comfort Keepers provides comprehensive arthritis care focused on improving daily life. Our carers support clients with compassionate assistance tailored to each individual’s needs.
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that causes pain and immobility, ranging from mild to severe. In Ireland, around 6% of the population is living with arthritis, making it one of the single biggest causes of disability.
Types and symptoms of Arthritis
There are over 100 types of arthritis, but the most common forms are osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (also known as rheumatic arthritis) and fibromyalgia.
While symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and inflammation are common across these conditions, each type of arthritis presents unique challenges.
Despite the variations, the need for arthritis care remains consistent, with patients requiring a combination of emotional, medical, and practical support.
