Our team of orthopedic doctor who have years of experience are dedicated to ensuring that they perform diagnosis accurately, create treatment plans that are tailored to each patients' requirements, controlling pain, and providing rehabilitation assistance in order to increase joint functionality and quality of living. Regardless of the degree of your osteoarthritis, Kansal Orthopaedic Clinic have a wide range of treatment programs aimed at giving you long-term pain relief and better mobility.

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a condition of the joints that happens due to the gradual wearing down of the cartilage that acts as a cushion between the bones. With the loss of the cartilage, the bones get into direct contact with each other which results in pain, stiffness, inflammation, and limited movement.

 

The joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis are knees, hips, spine, hands and shoulders. Timely identification and appropriate orthopaedic treatment can significantly help in controlling the progression of the disease and in maintaining good joint condition.

 

Those who suffer from treatment-resistant joint pain can find relief at our Joint Pain Treatment center for holistic orthopaedic care.

Stages of Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis usually goes through several phases:

Early Stage

At this stage, cartilage starts to wear out slightly, and as a result, joint pain and stiffness occur from time to time, especially after physical activity.

Moderate Stage

As the cartilage degradation continues, accompanied by pain and swelling, the movement and flexibility of the joint will get noticeably reduced.

Advanced Stage

Near to complete cartilage loss is present in this stage. Along with constant pain, inflammation and major restriction in movement, other symptoms will also emerge.

Severe Stage

Direct contact of bones might take place causing excruciating pain and inability to perform daily tasks.

Knowledge of these stages is essential to orthopaedic surgeons in deciding on the best therapy for their patients.

Causes of Osteoarthritis

The development of osteoarthritis can be influenced by various factors that increase vulnerability.

Aging

Simply getting older results in the natural deterioration of joints, which is a main factor in osteoarthritis.

Joint Injuries

Accidents leading to fractures or torn ligaments as well as overuse of joints through repetitive motions can be causes of cartilage degradation.

Obesity

Carrying surplus weight burdens significantly joints that support the body's weight like knees and hips.

Genetics

Having a family member with this condition may make one more predisposed to osteoarthritis.

Repetitive Joint Stress

Jobs or sports involving frequent joint motions contribute to joint deterioration.

Other Medical Conditions

Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and metabolic disorders are associated with increased susceptibility to this condition.

In case you are one of those who got injured, our Fracture Management department is at your disposal for the full spectrum of rehabilitation.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

Typically, there are several symptoms indicative of osteoarthritis such as:

• Pain in joints either during or after exertion
• Sciffness, especially first thing in the morning
• Swelling near joints
• Decreased range of motion and movement
• Hearing a grinding noise while moving
• Feeling pain in joints
• Having trouble walking or going up stairs
• Joints feeling weak

It is best to see an orthopedic specialist as soon as possible if these signs persist for a number of weeks or get worse over time.

Advanced Diagnosis for Osteoarthritis

We at Kansal Orthopaedic Clinic employ state-of-the-art diagnostic methods to pinpoint osteoarthritis with precision and decisively assess joint degradation.

Physical Examination

Our surgeons check for joint range of motion, presence of swelling and tenderness, and overall flexibility.

X-Ray Imaging

X-rays present evidence of cartilage degradation, appearance of bone outgrowths, and the narrowing of joint space.

MRI Scan

MRIs allow visualization of the cartilage, ligaments, muscles, and other tissues surrounding the joint in great detail.

Blood Tests

Blood tests can be used to exclude other types of joint inflammation.

Functional Assessment

Through functional assessment, we measure how joint limitations and dysfunction affect one's daily life.

Personalized treatment options for osteoarthritis

Depending on the extent and site of osteoarthritis, the team at Kansal Orthopaedic Clinic develops individualized therapy plans.

Non-operative osteoarthritis treatment

Pain relief

Anti-inflammatory drugs play a major role in alleviating the discomfort and swelling of joints.

Physiotherapy

Well-planned exercises in physical therapy help make joints more flexible, muscles stronger, and overall mobility better. Check our Physical Therapy programs for rehabilitation assistance.

Weight Management

Keeping your body weight in normal range has the benefit of lessening joint pressure and aiding in movement.

Lifestyle Modifications

Joint overuse can be minimized by changing activities and ergonomic interventions.

Joint Injections

Injection of steroids or substances that enhance joint lubrication can be options for controlling inflammation and achieving better joint movements.

Assistive Devices

Use of braces, supports, or walking aids can be partial solutions in lowering the load on affected joints.

High-level surgical treatment for osteoarthritis

When nonsurgical treatments fail to relieve the patient enough, a discussion about surgery is warranted.

Joint Replacement Surgery

In cases of extensive joint breakdown, a partial or complete replacement might be the only resort way of restoring movement and easing pain. Discover more about our Joint Replacement services.

Arthroscopic Surgery

In case of smaller injury, joint can be "cleaned" (removal of damaged tissue) through arthroscopic surgery which usually leads to functional improvement.

Osteotomy

This surgical method of bone reshaping is meant to modify one's gait and ultimately alleviate joint pain and dysfunction.

Our orthopedic surgeons operate with modern minimally invasive methods which are characterized by enhanced safety, high accuracy, and shortened period of recuperation.

Rehabilitation and Recovery Support

Treatment of osteoarthritis will only be successful with the right rehabilitation and directed recovery.

Customized Exercise Programs

Targeted exercise can be very effective in strengthening the muscle and improving flexibility of the joint.

Mobility Restoration

Rehabilitation therapists use various means to help patients in daily activities and improving their movement.

Long-Term Joint Care

We make patients aware of the right postures, correct ways of exercising, and how to protect joints.

Sports and Activity Rehabilitation

Those who like to stay active after injury can count on a highly focused rehabilitation program.
