Arthritis symptoms
Arthritis is a common condition that can cause various symptoms, affecting your range of motion, including:
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Swelling around the joints
• Reduced range of motion
• Redness and warmth in the affected joint
• Difficulty performing daily activities due to accessibility issues
• Fatigue and general weakness
Causes of arthritis
Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints, which can result from various factors. Some of the most common causes of arthritis include:
• Osteoarthritis, often linked to knee injuries, meniscus damage, and overuse
• Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the joints
• Gout, a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints
• Infections or injuries to the joints, such as sports injuries or ligament damage
• Age, genetics, and lifestyle factors
Arthritis treatment options
Advanced imaging technology, such as X-rays and MRI, can help us diagnose and treat arthritis more accurately. We can then develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you, which may include a range of treatment options such as:
• Physical therapy to improve joint function, strength, and flexibility
• Pain management, including over-the-counter pain medications, such as NSAIDs, ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and prescription medications for specific types of arthritis
• Minimally invasive medical procedures like corticosteroid injections, nerve blocks, epidural injections
• Assistive devices, such as braces, splints, or canes, to provide support and reduce stress on affected joints
• Weight management and exercise programs to reduce joint pain and improve overall health
• Alternative therapies such as acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, and chiropractic care.
• Self-care measures like heat and cold therapy, relaxation techniques, and joint protection strategies
• Surgery, such as joint replacement or joint fusion, for severe cases that do not respond to conservative treatments
