Arthritis

Arthritis

Arthritis is a leading cause of chronic pain and disability, affecting millions of people each year. At Medical Art Center, we provide comprehensive, minimally invasive treatments to help patients manage arthritis pain, improve mobility, and maintain quality of life.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is not a single disease but a group of conditions that cause joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain. The most common forms are:

  • Osteoarthritis (OA): The “wear and tear” type, caused by breakdown of cartilage. 
  •  Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks joint tissues.

Both types can significantly affect daily life, making walking, climbing stairs, or even simple activities painful.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Our arthritis care begins with a comprehensive evaluation, which may include:

  • Physical exam of affected joints
  • Imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI
  • Blood work (especially for suspected autoimmune arthritis)
  • Review of medical history and functional limitations

This helps us determine the type of arthritis and the best treatment approach.

Treatment Options for Arthritis

Following the protocols of advanced pain centers like Premier Medical Group, we focus on effective, minimally invasive treatments such as:

  • Medications → Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other non-opioid medications to reduce pain and inflammation.

  • Joint Injections → Targeted injections, including corticosteroids, to reduce swelling and provide relief.

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy → Using your own platelets to support joint repair and reduce inflammation.

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) → A procedure that uses heat to block pain signals from arthritic joints.

  •  ​Nerve Blocks → Injections that interrupt pain signals from specific joint nerves.

  • Physical Therapy Referrals → Exercises and mobility training to strengthen surrounding muscles and protect joints.

Benefits of Treatment

With proper management, patients can achieve:

  • Reduced joint pain and stiffness
  • Improved range of motion and mobility
  • Slower progression of joint damage
  • Better function in daily activities
  • Enhanced overall quality of life
