Arthritis Treatment in Mumbai
Arthritis affects millions of people, causing joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility that can worsen over time without proper treatment. Dr. Kashyap Solanki provides comprehensive arthritis care for the knee, hip, shoulder, and other joints, tailored to each patient's stage and lifestyle.
What is Arthritis Treatment?
Arthritis is inflammation and degeneration of a joint, most commonly osteoarthritis caused by wear-and-tear, though rheumatoid and other inflammatory forms also occur. Treatment is planned around which joint is affected, how advanced the arthritis is, and the patient's activity needs.
Types and Contributing Factors
Osteoarthritis from age-related cartilage wear
Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune joint condition
Post-traumatic arthritis following a previous injury
Obesity and repetitive joint stress
Genetic and hormonal factors
Treatment Options
Lifestyle measures: weight management, activity modification, and low-impact exercise
Physiotherapy to strengthen muscles supporting the affected joint
Medication for pain and inflammation control
Injections for targeted joint relief
Joint preservation or joint replacement surgery for advanced cases
Recovery
Early and moderate arthritis often responds well to non-surgical care for years. When joint replacement becomes necessary, recovery typically allows a return to most daily activities within 6-12 weeks.
Benefits
Whole-joint, whole-patient approach to arthritis care
Treatment plans that evolve as your condition changes
Non-surgical management prioritised where appropriate
Access to advanced joint replacement when needed
Frequently Asked Questions
Which joints does arthritis commonly affect?
Arthritis most commonly affects the knee and hip, but it can also involve the shoulder, hands, and spine.
Is arthritis only an old-age condition?
While more common with age, arthritis can also affect younger people, particularly after joint injuries or with autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
Can diet affect arthritis symptoms?
A healthy weight and balanced diet can reduce joint stress and inflammation, supporting other arthritis treatments, though diet alone does not cure arthritis.
How is arthritis diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a clinical examination and X-rays, with blood tests or MRI used when an inflammatory or early-stage cause is suspected.
