Arthritis Treatment

What is Arthritis Treatment ?

Simply put, arthritis is the inflammation of body joints. The joints swell up as an aftereffect of an injury, due to hereditary problems, due to auto-immune interactions, or due to allergens. Arthritis is a common and progressive condition in many individuals no matter the age. The condition makes the joint painful, weak, sensitive to function, and sometimes leads to damage of the underlying cartilage and tissue. There are different types of arthritis based on their action and etiology. They are – osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative arthritis, and crystal arthropathies. The treatment modulated towards curing and rehabilitating patients with arthritis is called arthritis treatment.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • The treatment is based on the type of arthritis and the severity. If in the starting stages, then patients are advised prevention like not exerting much force on the joints and being wary of irritants.
  • NSAID or pain killer medication is the next step. The patient may also be kept on analgesic and corticosteroid medication. The medication may be given orally or as IM/IV injections based on the severity.
  • Regular physiotherapy exercises are advised throughout the treatment. Splinting may be advised to immobilize or support the joints that are too weak.
  • Surgery is performed if all these treatment options fail. It may involve joint replacement, cartilage transplant, arthroscopic synovectomy, reconstructive surgery, and also regular intra-join medication administration.
  • Acupuncture, TENS, magnetic therapy, or other nerve/muscle therapies may be done for pain relief and rehabilitation.

Soft Tissue Treatment (STT)

It involves the assessment, treatment and follow-up of tissues like ligaments, cartilages, muscles, tendons and fascia. The common soft tissue injuries are sprains, contusions, ligament tears, tendonitis and bursitis. This is mostly done in sports medicine and/or for people with said injuries. There are different types of soft tissue treatments ranging from heat/cold therapies to myofascial pain relief by massage, stretching, electrotherapy, tissue mobilizations and hold-release techniques.

Kinesiology and Kinetic Link Training

Kinesiology involves the use of a specific tape to relieve pain and facilitate lymph drainage, whereas kinetic link training is a biomechanics concept used to describe the movements of a human body. Simply put, the kinetic link is the movements produced in one joint as a result of the movements from another joint. This training is not only used in muscle-skeleton coordination but also sports therapy and neurological therapy.
