Arthritis Treatment

Orthopaedician At Apollo Hospitals

Arthritis Treatment

Arthritis is a chronic condition that affects the joints, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Arthritis treatment focuses on managing pain, inflammation, and improving joint function. Its severity, and the individual’s overall health and preferences. However, a combination of approaches, including medication, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery, is often used to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Arthritis is not a single disease but a broad term for joint inflammation. It can affect one joint or multiple joints and is a leading cause of disability worldwide.

Types of Arthritis We Treat

The most common types of arthritis treated are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, and ankylosing spondylitis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation. Psoriatic arthritis affects people with psoriasis, and gout is characterized by painful flares, often in the big toe. Ankylosing spondylitis primarily affects the spine.
