Living with Gout Can Be Painful – Fortunately, PT Can Help
Gout impacts the lives of over 8 million Americans. This form of arthritis is the body’s natural reaction to abnormal crystal deposits in the joints, known as “tophi.”
Those who suffer from chronic gout may notice small, firm lumps in or around their affected joint(s). These deposits can cause intense pain and stiffness to the disturbed area, and may cause damage to bone or cartilage over time. If gout occurs in the ankle, knee, or hip, the pain and stiffness may make walking or standing difficult, thus causing balance issues.
