Joint pain can make even the simplest tasks difficult, affecting your ability to move freely and enjoy daily activities. At Advanced Orthopedics, we specialize in diagnosing and treating arthritis and joint pain, offering personalized treatment plans to help you regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve your quality of life.
Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints. It affects millions of people and can impact any joint in the body, including the knees, hips, shoulders, hands, and spine. Over time, arthritis can worsen, leading to reduced mobility and joint damage if left untreated.
✅ Osteoarthritis (OA) – The most common form, caused by the wear and tear of joint cartilage over time. Often affects the knees, hips, and hands.
✅ Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – An autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the joints, leading to chronic inflammation and pain.
✅ Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Develops after a joint injury, such as a fracture or ligament tear, leading to long-term joint damage.
✅ Gout – A form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, often affecting the big toe, ankle, or knee.
✅ Psoriatic Arthritis – A type of arthritis that occurs in some people with psoriasis, causing joint pain, swelling, and skin symptoms.
Joint pain isn’t always caused by arthritis. Other conditions that can contribute to joint discomfort include:
🔹 Bursitis – Inflammation of the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints.
🔹 Tendinitis – Irritation or inflammation of a tendon due to overuse or injury.
🔹 Injuries – Fractures, ligament tears, or dislocations can lead to long-term joint pain.
🔹 Cartilage Damage – Wearing down of cartilage can cause stiffness and discomfort.
✔ Joint stiffness, especially in the morning
✔ Swelling and tenderness in affected joints
✔ Pain that worsens with activity
✔ Limited range of motion
✔ Grinding or clicking sensations in the joints
✔ Warmth or redness around the joint
If you experience persistent joint pain or stiffness, it’s important to seek early treatment to prevent further joint damage.
At Advanced Orthopedics, we offer comprehensive, personalized treatment plans based on your specific condition and lifestyle. Our goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life.
🔹 Medications – Anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for autoimmune arthritis.
🔹 Physical Therapy – Strengthening exercises to improve joint function and reduce stiffness.
🔹 Steroid Injections – Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain.
🔹 Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid Injections) – Lubricates joints to reduce friction and improve mobility.
🔹 Lifestyle Modifications – Weight management, low-impact exercises, and dietary changes to reduce arthritis symptoms.
🔹 Bracing & Assistive Devices – Knee braces, orthotics, and assistive devices for joint support.
For patients with severe arthritis or joint damage, surgery may be the best option to restore function and relieve pain. Our expert orthopedic surgeons specialize in:
🔹 Minimally-Invasive Arthroscopic Surgery – Repairs damaged cartilage and removes loose debris from the joint.
🔹 Partial & Total Joint Replacement – Replaces damaged joints with advanced implants for long-term pain relief and mobility.
🔹 Osteotomy – Realigns bones to relieve pressure on affected joints.
