Arthritis Q&A
What is arthritis?
Arthritis includes more than 100 conditions that affect your joints or the tissues surrounding the joint. Most types of arthritis cause common symptoms, including joint pain, stiffness, and swelling that can interfere with normal movement.
ou can get arthritis in any joint, but the most common types of this condition usually affect weight-bearing joints like the hip and knee.
What are the most common types of arthritis?
At Quality Orthopedics and Complete Joint Care, Dr. Khaimov provides comprehensive care for all types of arthritis, including:
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting more than 30 million adults. This condition occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones in a joint breaks down over time.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes your body to attack healthy cells in the lining of your joint capsule (synovium). This leads to inflammation and joint pain.
What are nonsurgical options for arthritis treatment?
Dr. Khaimov always begins arthritis care with the most conservative treatments. After he carefully evaluates your condition, he develops an individualized arthritis treatment plan that may include:
- Physical therapy
- Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise
- Medications to relieve pain and reduce inflammation
- Therapeutic injections, such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid
In addition to providing in-office arthritis care, Dr. Khaimov educates you on how to manage your arthritis symptoms at home. This may include getting regular physical activity that’s safe for your condition and maintaining a healthy weight.
When would I need surgery to treat arthritis?
If conservative treatments don’t reduce your arthritis pain and symptoms, Dr. Khaimov may recommend surgery. He’s fellowship-trained in various types of surgery to treat arthritis of the hip and knee, including:
Joint replacement
Advanced cases of arthritis may require total joint replacement. This open surgery involves removing damaged parts of your joint and replacing them with an artificial joint.
