Arthritis Treatment
Joint pain and stiffness from osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis.
What is Arthritis? (गठिया / आर्थराइटिस)
Arthritis refers to inflammation or degeneration of one or more joints, most commonly osteoarthritis (wear-related) or rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune/inflammatory).
Common Causes
- Age-related joint wear (osteoarthritis)
- Autoimmune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis)
- Previous joint injury
- Excess joint loading over time
Symptoms to Watch For
- Joint stiffness, especially in the morning
- Pain that worsens with activity or at day's end
- Swelling around affected joints
- Reduced joint range of motion over time
How We Diagnose It
We evaluate joint range of motion, swelling, and functional limitation to design a therapy plan that protects the joint while preserving movement.
Our Treatment Approach
Depending on severity, treatment for arthritis typically draws on:
Expected Recovery Timeline
Arthritis is a long-term condition; our goal is ongoing symptom control and mobility preservation rather than a fixed "recovery" timeline — most patients feel meaningful relief within 4–6 weeks of starting therapy.
Self-Care Tips
- Stay active with low-impact movement (walking, swimming)
- Avoid prolonged joint immobility
- Maintain a healthy body weight
- Use joint-protection techniques during daily tasks
These are general self-care suggestions and are not a substitute for a personalised assessment. Please consult us before starting any new exercise if your symptoms are severe.
