What is 关节炎 and How it is Caused
You can experience pain and stiffness in your joints due to a variety of risk factors such as:
- 年龄
- 家族病史
- 肥胖
- 以前的关节损伤
- 性别
Your joints swell and become tender, making it hard to enjoy certain activities you once did. Some common conditions that cause arthritis include:
- Osteoarthritis (most common form of arthritis)
- 类风湿性关节炎
- 痛风
- 联合感染
However, it’s important to visit us to determine exactly what is causing your pain. We want to help you live your best life without pain interruptions from arthritis.
Call 866-GUTHRIE (866-488-4743) today to make an appointment.
How You Treat 关节炎
We’ll first look to diagnose you by one or more methods:
After your diagnosis is clear, you can choose one specific method of treatment or a combination of a few to find what works best for you. Medications and physical therapy are non-surgical options to try first. You can also try some home remedies such as heating pads or ice packs, weight loss to relieve pressure on your joints as well as regular exercise.
If it becomes clear that joint repair or joint replacement surgery is the right choice, we will review your options with you and decide on the best care plan together.
