FRUITA,Co.(KKCO)-- Dr.Rooks rheumatologist from the Arthritis Center of Western Colorado at Family Health West stopped by and discussed the difference between Spondyloarthritis and Inflammatory arthritis.

Doctors see a lot of patients with Spondyloarthritis on the Western slope especially among young adults.

Symptoms of Spondyloarthritis are stiffness when you wake up, and inflammation in the spine, hips, and knees.

Inflammatory arthritis is the most common type of arthritis. Symptoms include new joint or tendon pain, swelling, stiffness that lasts more than an hour in the morning without prior injury.

Inflammatory arthritis is actually a systemic disease of the immune system that, if not treated appropriately, can lead to joint and tendon damage, deformities, and contribute to heart attacks, strokes, and more.
