Joint Replacement Clinic

The joint replacement clinic offers a comprehensive service of joint replacement surgery, which is a viable treatment option for individuals experiencing joint pain that has not been alleviated by physical therapy and medications and other medical and surgical treatment options.

Joint replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, involves replacing all or part of a joint with a prosthetic implant, such as metal, plastic, or ceramic devices. This surgical procedure aims to relieve symptoms like pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving, ultimately improving the patient's quality of life. Our Joint Replacement Surgeon Dr. Raj Rana is available in this clinic to advise on arthritis and joint replacement treatment option.

Joint Arthritis

Arthritis, a common condition affecting millions worldwide, entails inflammation of one or more joints, resulting in pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.

While there are various types of arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most prevalent. Osteoarthritis typically develops due to wear and tear on the joints over time, leading to cartilage breakdown and subsequent pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks their own joints, causing inflammation and joint destruction.

Treatment

Treatment for arthritis aims to alleviate symptoms, improve joint function, and slow the disease progression. Physical therapy can help improve joint flexibility, strength, and range of motion. Lifestyle changes such as weight management and regular exercise can also play a crucial role in managing arthritis symptoms and improving overall joint health.

In more severe cases or when conservative treatments fail to provide relief, surgical interventions may be considered. Joint replacement surgery, such as knee or hip replacement, can be highly effective in relieving pain and restoring function for individuals with advanced arthritis.
