Joint Replacement – Dr. Pooja

Arthritis Management focuses on relieving joint pain, reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and preventing further joint damage. Arthritis is a common condition that causes swelling, stiffness, and pain in one or more joints, often affecting the knees, hips, hands, or spine. It may occur due to age-related wear and tear (osteoarthritis), autoimmune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis), infection, or injury. Early diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan are essential to maintain joint function and improve quality of life.

Key Components of Arthritis Management

• Medications & Pain Control: Anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers, and disease-modifying medications help reduce inflammation and slow disease progression in certain types of arthritis.
• Physiotherapy & Exercise: Regular low-impact exercises and strengthening programs improve joint flexibility, muscle support, and overall mobility while reducing stiffness.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management, healthy diet, posture correction, and activity adjustments reduce stress on affected joints and help control symptoms.
• Injections & Advanced Therapies: Intra-articular injections such as corticosteroids or viscosupplementation may provide temporary relief in selected patients.
• Surgical Intervention (When Required): In severe cases where conservative treatment fails, procedures such as joint replacement or corrective surgery may be recommended to restore function and relieve pain.
