Joint Restoration & Arthritis Management: Preserving Joint Health and Mobility

Joint pain and arthritis are common conditions that can significantly affect mobility, daily activities, and quality of life. Joint restoration and arthritis management focus on reducing pain, improving joint function, and slowing disease progression while preserving the natural joint for as long as possible.

Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis refers to inflammation and degeneration of joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement. Osteoarthritis is the most common type and occurs due to gradual wear and tear of joint cartilage over time.

Early diagnosis and appropriate management play a key role in controlling symptoms and maintaining joint health.

What Is Joint Restoration?

Joint restoration aims to improve joint function and delay or avoid joint replacement surgery. It combines non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments to manage pain, support cartilage health, and improve mobility.

Conditions Managed Through Joint Restoration

• Early to moderate osteoarthritis
• Chronic joint pain of the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle
• Cartilage damage and joint degeneration
• Post-injury joint stiffness and pain
• Inflammatory joint conditions

Non-Surgical Arthritis Management Options

A comprehensive arthritis management plan may include:

• Activity modification and lifestyle guidance
• Medications for pain and inflammation control
• Physiotherapy to improve strength and flexibility
• Injection therapies such as PRP or other joint injections
• Weight management and nutrition support

Role of Regenerative Treatments

Regenerative orthopaedic treatments, including PRP therapy, can help reduce inflammation and support tissue healing in selected patients with arthritis. These treatments aim to improve symptoms and function while preserving joint health.

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in arthritis management by strengthening muscles around the joint, improving balance, and maintaining range of motion. Structured exercise programs help reduce pain and improve daily function.

When Is Surgery Considered?

Surgery may be considered when symptoms persist despite conservative treatments. Minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopy, may be helpful in selected cases, while joint replacement is reserved for advanced arthritis when other options are ineffective.
