Arthritis & Joint Pain

Arthritis & Joint Pain Treatment at Advanced Orthopedics

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.

What is Arthritis?

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.

Common Types of Arthritis

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.

Causes of Joint Pain

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.

Symptoms of Arthritis & Joint Pain

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.

🔹 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.
