Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis is not a single disease; it is an informal way of referring to joint pain or joint disease. There are over 100 types of arthritis, with Osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear of cartilage) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (an autoimmune inflammatory condition) being the most common. It causes swelling, pain, stiffness, and a progressively decreased range of motion.
At Esskay Ortho & Eye Centre, Dr. Deepak Kumar Arora focuses on early diagnosis and comprehensive management. While there is no definitive cure for arthritis, our advanced conservative therapies, targeted injections, and specialized rehabilitation can dramatically slow its progression and eliminate daily pain.
Goals of Our Treatment
Comprehensive Treatment Options
We believe in exhausting all non-surgical methods before ever recommending joint replacement. Our multi-disciplinary approach to arthritis includes:
- Medication Management: Prescription of advanced NSAIDs, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and supplements to control inflammation and pain.
- Targeted Joint Injections: Utilizing Corticosteroid injections for rapid, localized inflammation relief, and Viscosupplementation (hyaluronic acid) to naturally lubricate stiff joints.
- Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation: Customized, guided exercise programs designed to strengthen the muscles surrounding your joints, thereby improving stability and reducing bone-on-bone friction.
- Lifestyle & Activity Modification: Expert counseling on weight management, diet, and joint-friendly activities to protect your remaining cartilage and reduce joint stress.
"Early intervention is the absolute key to managing arthritis. By addressing joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation in its initial stages, we can often preserve your natural joint for many years, significantly delaying or even entirely preventing the need for surgical replacement."
