Aditthya Hospitals in Karaikudi treats arthritis through a combination of medication, physiotherapy, and, for advanced cases, surgical options such as knee or hip replacement.
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis refers to inflammation and degeneration of the joints, most commonly affecting the knees, hips, and spine. It can develop gradually due to age-related wear and tear or result from other underlying conditions affecting joint health.
Treatment Approach at Aditthya Hospitals
Treatment typically begins with a detailed evaluation to determine the type and severity of arthritis. Mild to moderate cases are usually managed with medication, lifestyle adjustments, and physiotherapy aimed at maintaining joint mobility and reducing pain.
For patients with advanced arthritis where joint damage significantly limits mobility, surgical options such as knee or hip replacement are considered to restore function and quality of life.
Long-Term Management
Since arthritis is often a long-term condition, the hospital emphasises ongoing management through periodic follow-ups, physiotherapy, and lifestyle guidance alongside any medical or surgical treatment provided.
