Managing Arthritis
Living Well with Arthritis.......
Arthritis affects millions worldwide, but managing it effectively can allow you to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Regular exercise, weight management, and pain relief options like medications, injections, or physical therapy are crucial for keeping symptoms under control. In severe cases, surgical options such as joint replacement may be necessary. Dr. Agrawal works with each patient to create a personalized plan that reduces pain and helps improve joint function, ensuring you live your life with less discomfort.
- Regular exercise strengthens muscles around the joint and reduces stiffness.
- Weight management can ease stress on affected joints and improve mobility.
- Joint injections, physical therapy, and medications can help manage pain.
- Surgical options, like joint replacement, can be considered for advanced cases.
- Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further joint damage.
Activities that involve abrupt, high-impact movements can lead to acute injuries. Sports such as football, basketball, or soccer often involve sudden stops, changes in direction, or collisions that increase the risk of acute injuries.
