Arthritis and Pain care
Arthritis
Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints, resulting in pain and decreased mobility. There are many types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis, each with its causes and symptoms.
Osteoarthritis, the most common form, typically occurs with aging and wear and tear on the joints, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the joints. Psoriatic arthritis is associated with the skin condition psoriasis.
Pain care for arthritis involves a multidisciplinary approach aimed at managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Treatment may include medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to reduce inflammation and pain. Physical therapy and exercise can help improve joint function and flexibility, while assistive devices like braces or splints may provide additional support. Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight and protecting joints from excessive stress, are also important in managing arthritis pain. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to repair or replace damaged joints.
