Arthritis Treatment: Information

Understanding Arthritis Types and Symptoms

Arthritis refers to the inflammation of one or more joints, resulting in pain, swelling, and stiffness. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs due to wear and tear of the joints over time, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition. Understanding the specific type of arthritis is crucial in determining the most effective treatment strategies.

Early Intervention The Key to Effective Treatment

Early intervention is vital in managing arthritis and slowing down its progression. At PIMAH, We experienced providers specialize in the early diagnosis and treatment of arthritis. We conduct thorough evaluations, including medical history, physical examinations, and imaging tests, to accurately diagnose the condition and develop an individualized treatment plan.

Medication Management Alleviating Pain and Inflammation

Medications play a crucial role in managing arthritis symptoms. At PIMAH, we provide prescribe medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), to reduce pain, inflammation, and joint damage. We carefully monitor the effectiveness and potential side effects of medications, adjusting the treatment plan as needed.

Physical Therapy Restoring Mobility and Function

PIMAH, we offer personalized physical therapy programs designed to improve joint flexibility, strengthen muscles, and enhance overall mobility. Physical therapists guide patients through targeted exercises and techniques to alleviate pain, increase range of motion, and improve quality of life.

PIMAH emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications in managing arthritis. We provide guidance on weight management, joint protection techniques, and adaptive devices to minimize stress on the joints and reduce symptoms. Assistive devices such as braces, splints, and walking aids may be recommended to support joint stability and ease mobility.
