Are you struggling with stiffness, swelling, and pain in your joints that affects your daily life? It may be arthritis, one of the most common causes of chronic joint pain. At Swastik Care Clinic, Pitampura, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis, helping patients restore mobility and improve their quality of life.

🔹 What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is not a single disease — it is a term used for joint inflammation leading to pain, swelling, and reduced motion. It can affect any joint but is most common in the knees, hips, hands, and spine.

🔹 Types of Arthritis
1. Osteoarthritis (OA) – Wear & tear of cartilage with age
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – Autoimmune condition causing joint damage
3. Gout – Uric acid crystal buildup in joints
4. Post-traumatic Arthritis – After injury or fracture
5. Infectious Arthritis – Due to infection inside the joint

🔹 Symptoms of Arthritis

✅ Persistent joint pain and stiffness
✅ Swelling and tenderness
✅ Decreased range of motion
✅ Grinding sensation in joints
✅ Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
✅ Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or gripping objects

🔹 Risk Factors
• Aging 👵
• Family history of arthritis
• Previous joint injuries
• Obesity (extra weight stresses joints)
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Autoimmune disorders

🔹 Diagnosis at Swastik Care Clinic 🏥

Our specialists use a comprehensive approach to detect arthritis early:
• Physical examination – to check swelling & mobility
• X-rays – to identify cartilage damage and bone changes
• MRI/Ultrasound – for detailed joint analysis
• Blood tests – to detect RA or gout

🔹 Treatment Options

✅ Non-Surgical Treatments
• Medications – pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, disease-modifying drugs (for RA)

• Lifestyle Modifications – weight management, balanced diet, and low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling, or yoga 🧘
