Arthritic Joint Pain at Chronic Care of Richmond

According to the CDC, arthritis is a prevalent health problem affecting 24% of adults, making it the leading cause of work disability in the United States. It's often characterized by inflammation and tenderness of one or more joints with joint pain and stiffness being the primary symptoms. Arthritis can occur at any age, not just in older adults.


Arthritis joint pain treatments in Richmond are diverse and tailored to the type of arthritis diagnosed. The overarching goals of these treatments are to alleviate symptoms and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals affected by arthritis.

Understanding the Causes and Impact on Your Joints.

Understanding Arthritic Joint Pain

Osteoarthritis


Osteoarthritis, the most prevalent form of arthritis, is a degenerative disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage at the ends of bones and joints. This cartilage plays a crucial role as a shock absorber and protective barrier, preventing bone-on-bone friction during movement. As it wears away, the bones are left unprotected, leading to their rubbing against each other, which causes pain, swelling, and reduced flexibility. Frequently associated with aging, osteoarthritis is a progressive condition that can significantly impact an individual's mobility.


Rheumatoid Arthritis


Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, a condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, particularly targeting the lining of the joints. This abnormal immune response triggers chronic inflammation, leading to thickening of the joint lining, known as synovium. Over time, the persistent inflammation can cause severe damage to the joints, resulting in pain, swelling, and deformities. This damage is often irreversible and can significantly impact an individual's mobility and quality of life. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease, meaning it can also affect other organs in the body, adding to its complexity and severity.

Specialized Exercises

Many doctors recommend specialized exercises such as tai chi as a complementary arthritis treatment. This exercise may help reduce pain and stiffness, but every patient should speak to their doctor before starting a new exercise regimen. Other possible exercises include yoga, aquatic exercise, and physical therapy. 


Massage and Acupuncture

Massage therapy is a commonly pursued option for treating arthritic joint pain. Alongside alternative therapies such as magnetic therapy, acupuncture, cupping, hydrotherapy, and relaxation therapy, it can aid patients in finding equilibrium and alleviating pain. It is important to note that these treatments should only be administered by licensed providers.


Painkillers and Medication

Although over-the-counter painkillers are widely used for arthritis treatment, many individuals with arthritis prefer not to rely on continuous pain medication. Medications may not always provide adequate relief for the pain and mobility challenges associated with arthritis. In certain instances, as the disease advances, surgical interventions may be recommended by doctors in an attempt to address arthritis.
