Where do I get arthritis treatment in Altona?

Our Altona clinic offers osteopathy and myotherapy for arthritis management. Convenient for residents of Altona, Newport, Williamstown, and Yarraville.

Can exercise help arthritis?

Yes, and it's one of the most evidence-based treatments available. Regular, appropriately dosed exercise reduces pain, improves joint function, and slows the progression of osteoarthritis. Our exercise physiologists design programs that are safe and effective for your specific type and stage of arthritis.

Will treatment make my arthritis worse?

No. Our practitioners are experienced in treating arthritic joints and will always work within your pain tolerance. Hands-on treatment is adapted to your condition, and exercise programs are carefully progressed to avoid flare-ups.

Is osteopathy safe for arthritis?

Yes. Osteopathic treatment for arthritis focuses on gentle joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, and movement, not high-velocity manipulation. Our osteopaths will assess your joints and tailor treatment to what's appropriate for your presentation.

Can I claim arthritis treatment on Medicare?

Exercise physiology sessions are claimable under a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, which arthritis often qualifies for. Speak to your GP about a referral. Private health insurance may also cover osteopathy and myotherapy depending on your level of cover.

Common Causes

What's causing your conditions we treat?

Conditions We Treat is rarely "just conditions we treat." At Injury Active Altona, we identify the specific structure causing your pain, then treat it directly.

Osteoarthritis (OA)

The most common form, caused by gradual wear and breakdown of joint cartilage. Most commonly affects the knees, hips, spine, and hands. OA pain is often worse with activity and improves with gentle movement, making exercise a key part of management.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the joint lining. Causes inflammation, swelling, and stiffness, often affecting multiple joints symmetrically. Exercise physiology and myotherapy play an important role in managing RA alongside medical treatment.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Associated with the skin condition psoriasis, this form causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. It can affect any joint and often responds well to a combination of medical management and structured exercise.

Gout

Caused by a build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints, most commonly the big toe, ankle, or knee. Acute flares are extremely painful. Between flares, exercise and lifestyle modification can significantly reduce recurrence.
