Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It can be caused by various factors, including age, genetic predisposition, injury, or autoimmune diseases. Whether it’s osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout, Subhadra Hospital provides comprehensive care to diagnose and manage your condition, helping you regain mobility and improve your quality of life.
Common types of arthritis we treat include:
Osteoarthritis (wear and tear of cartilage, typically affecting the knees, hips, and hands)
Rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation)
Gout (painful swelling in the joints, often affecting the big toe)
Psoriatic arthritis (joint pain associated with psoriasis)
Juvenile arthritis (arthritis that affects children and adolescents)
We offer a comprehensive approach to managing arthritis and improving joint function:
Clinical evaluation to assess symptoms and identify the type of arthritis
Blood tests (including rheumatoid factor, uric acid levels, and inflammatory markers)
Imaging (X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound) to assess joint damage and inflammation
Medications to manage pain, inflammation, and immune response (NSAIDs, DMARDs, biologics)
Physical therapy and exercise plans to improve flexibility and strength
Nutritional advice to support joint health and reduce inflammation
Lifestyle modifications to prevent further damage and manage symptoms
Joint injections for severe pain or inflammation (steroid or hyaluronic acid injections)
Surgical options (in cases of severe joint damage, joint replacement surgery may be considered)
