Arthritis Treatment
Arthritis is one of the leading causes of chronic joint pain and stiffness, affecting patients of all ages but becoming increasingly common after 40. Dr. Keyur Shah evaluates each patient's arthritis type — osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, or post-traumatic — to design a treatment plan suited to the specific pattern and severity of joint damage.
Early and moderate arthritis is generally managed through medication, physiotherapy, weight management, and joint injections that reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Dr. Shah places strong emphasis on lifestyle guidance, helping patients protect their joints through activity modification and strengthening exercises that slow disease progression.
When arthritis advances to the point where conservative treatment no longer controls pain, surgical options such as arthroscopy or joint replacement are considered. Dr. Shah ensures patients understand every stage of their treatment journey, so they can make informed decisions about their long-term joint health.
