Arthritis Treatment

It is estimated that 54 million Americans suffer from diagnosed arthritis. There are many different types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most prevalent. For those with chronic or severe arthritis, pain and limited mobility can be a part of life without the right treatment. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we offer advanced treatment options for arthritis to manage pain, increase mobility and improve quality of life.

Arthritis mainly affects the joints, and it often results in deteriorating cartilage and inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that can cause widespread issues in the body. Osteoarthritis is the most common, with over 30 million Americans battling this degenerative disease.

Causes and Symptoms of Arthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that can be caused by a combination of factors. Wear on cartilage, joint injuries, obesity and genetics all contribute to whether a person is affected by arthritis as they get older. Some sufferers may have occasional pain or inflammation in joints from arthritis. Others may deal with chronic or severe pain and limited mobility. Symptoms include:

Swollen joints
Joint pain
Red or inflamed joints
Stiffness
Grinding, pain or limited motion when using joints

Arthritis can affect any joint in the body. This includes the larger joints like those in the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder and elbow. It also includes the small joints in the hands or in the spine.

Treating Arthritis

There is not a cure for arthritis. However, there are treatments that help relieve pain and improve symptoms. Some work only to decrease pain by reducing inflammation with medications or steroid joint injections. Others can help improve the health of the joint tissues. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we offer pain management options, along with cutting-edge regenerative medicine, that slows down the progression of arthritis and improves mobility.

If you suffer from arthritis, there are options to improve your quality of life. Contact one of our clinics in the Atlanta area for a treatment consultation.

What our patients say

Kevin Madden

Love Dr. Sonny and his practice. I appreciate the time he takes with me. I would rather him run late and take his time with me than rush me through. Pain is not something that’s a pleasure to deal with. I appreciate his knowledge and compassion. The surgical center is great too. Their staff is so caring! Thank you Dr. Sonny!

Ruth-Anne Hayes

Dr. Sonny and his staff are incredibly compassionate. They offer solutions that promote healing and support a healthy lifestyle. I trust them because I see the results in my life but mostly because they care. They know me by name. I cannot recommend this practice enough.
