Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective arthritis treatment. Get experienced healthcare professionals who will work closely with you to understand your symptoms. This may include discussing your pain's location, frequency, severity, and any morning stiffness you experience. We'll also review your medical history, including any past injuries or illnesses and family history of arthritis.
A thorough physical examination will be performed to assess your joint range of motion, tenderness, and swelling. Depending on your specific situation, we may utilize advanced diagnostic tools to confirm the diagnosis and identify the type of arthritis you have. These tools may include X-rays, which can reveal bone damage and joint narrowing; ultrasounds, which can provide detailed images of soft tissues like muscles and tendons; or blood tests, which can help identify markers of inflammation or specific types of arthritis.
Some medications can be used for short-term pain relief. Besides, some disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) can slow the progression of certain types of arthritis without needing surgery.
A physical therapist can design a safe and effective exercise program that improves joint mobility, strength, and flexibility. This approach is crucial for managing arthritis as it helps you manage daily activities with less pain.
Occupational therapists help you modify daily tasks to minimize joint stress without resorting to surgery. This can involve learning new techniques, using assistive devices, and adapting your environment for better ergonomics.
These injections offer targeted pain relief and reduce inflammation in specific joints, providing immediate relief without surgery. However, cortisone injections are typically used for short-term management.
Applying heat or cold packs to affected joints can significantly improve pain and stiffness. Heat therapy helps relax muscles and improve circulation, while cold therapy reduces inflammation and swelling.
Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for managing arthritis. Extra pounds put additional stress on weight-bearing joints like knees and hips. Losing even a tiny amount of weight can significantly improve your overall well-being and arthritis symptoms.
