ARTHRITIS TREATMENT IN MATHURA

Arthritis Treatment Options:

The management of arthritis depends on the type, severity, and individual needs. Treatment options include:

1. Medications: Pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, and disease-modifying drugs can help manage symptoms.
2. Custom-made insoles for osteoarthritis: Orthotic inserts are specially designed to provide tailored support and cushioning to individuals with osteoarthritis. These insoles can help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with osteoarthritis, particularly in weight-bearing joints like the knees.
   
   After conducting a thorough foot scan using a state-of-the-art foot scan machine at Verman Hospital’s Happy Heels, we craft customised orthotics tailored to your unique needs, all completed within 45 minutes. Designed specifically for a person’s joint structure, these orthotics can offer individualised support and relieve pain.

One significant benefit of custom-made insoles for osteoarthritis is that they can potentially help delay the need for surgical interventions, such as joint replacement surgery, by providing effective pain relief and improving joint function. Patients can even delay surgical procedures for osteoarthritis by 8 to 10 years or more with the use of these customized orthotic solutions.

3. Physical Therapy: At our rehabilitation and physiotherapy centre, we offer specialised programs for knee problems. Our dedicated knee physiotherapy centre offers tailored programs designed to meet your unique needs. We assess your condition, explain your personalized program, and adjust it as you progress for effective care.
4. Stem Cell Therapy or PRP: Stem cells are unique cells in the body that have the ability to develop into various specialized cell types. In the context of arthritis treatment, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are often used because they have the potential to differentiate into bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues. In stem cell therapy for arthritis, stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own body, typically from sources like bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue. These stem cells are then processed and concentrated to create a solution rich in MSCs.

The stem cell solution is typically injected directly into the affected joint(s) or the surrounding tissues using imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, to ensure precise placement.

This therapy can also allow patients to delay surgical intervention for arthritis by 8 to 10 years or more.

5. Weight Management: Keeping a healthy weight lowers the strain on joints.
6. Injections: Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections can offer some relief.
7. Surgery Options: When non-invasive treatments for arthritis, such as prescription medications, physical therapy, and dietary changes, are ineffective and the pain and impairment brought on by the condition negatively impact a person’s quality of life, surgical options may be considered. The sort of surgery to be performed will depend on the type of arthritis, how severe it is, and the patient’s unique circumstances. Here are a few popular arthritic surgical procedures:
   
   Surgery to replace a joint:
   • Total Joint Replacement: Joint replacement surgery is frequently carried out for arthritis in the hip and knee. The damaged joint surfaces are removed during this procedure and artificial components made of metal and plastic are used in their place. Joint function can be enhanced and pain can be considerably reduced with total joint replacement.
   • Partial Joint Replacement: When only one portion of the joint is arthritic, a partial joint replacement, also referred to as a unicompartmental replacement, is performed. A partial knee replacement, for instance, just replaces the damaged portion of the knee joint.
   • Resurfacing: In some cases, rather than replacing the entire joint, only the damaged cartilage is removed and replaced with a metal cap or resurfacing implant. This is often used for hip arthritis.
