Treatment Options for Arthritis

Arthritis treatment focuses on managing pain, reducing inflammation, and improving joint functionality. Dr. Rajeev Reddy Kikkuri offers both non-surgical and surgical options:

Non-Surgical Treatments:

  • Medications:
    • Pain relievers like NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen).
    • Corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
  • Physical Therapy:
    • Exercises to strengthen muscles and improve joint flexibility.
    • Techniques to maintain mobility and reduce stiffness.
  • Lifestyle Modifications:
    • Weight management to reduce joint strain.
    • Diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Assistive Devices:

Surgical Interventions:

When arthritis severely affects joint function and conservative treatments fail, surgery may be recommended. Surgical options include:

  • Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty): Replacing damaged joints with prosthetics, commonly for hips or knees.
  • Joint Fusion (Arthrodesis): Fusing bones in a joint to improve stability and reduce pain.
  • Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to remove damaged cartilage or repair tissues.
