Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune system to mistakenly attack the synovial lining of the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, swelling, and joint deformity. Unlike osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear, RA is an inflammatory condition that can affect multiple joints simultaneously, commonly impacting the hands, wrists, knees, and feet. If left untreated, RA can cause severe joint damage, reduced mobility, and even systemic complications affecting the heart, lungs, and eyes. At Kasare Hospital, our team of orthopedic and rheumatology experts provides advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions to help patients manage RA effectively and maintain an active, pain-free lifestyle.
The primary goal of RA treatment is to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, prevent joint damage, and enhance mobility. Early diagnosis is crucial, as prompt intervention can slow disease progression. Medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologic agents are commonly prescribed to control symptoms and protect joint integrity. Physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and dietary changes also play a vital role in managing RA. For patients with severe joint damage, minimally invasive procedures such as joint injections or joint replacement surgery may be recommended. At Kasare Hospital, we offer cutting-edge, personalized treatment plans to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Managing RA requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining medical treatment, physiotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments. Regular exercise, joint protection techniques, and a balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can help minimize flare-ups and maintain joint function. Our rehabilitation programs focus on pain management, mobility restoration, and patient education, empowering individuals to take control of their health. At Kasare Hospital, we are committed to comprehensive, patient-centered care, offering innovative treatments and expert guidance for long-term RA management. If you are experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, or swelling, schedule a consultation with our specialists today and take the first step toward improved joint health and enhanced quality of life.
